This sky is falling nonsense around City losing Rodri needs to stop. City are absolutely stacked and their extreme possession playing style makes it virtually impossible for any opponent to actually get the ball off them. They will be just fine without Rodri and people are sleeping on Kovacic big time.
De Jong was coming back for his throne anyways
Stop with this BULLCACK narrative now. Klopp competed last season with two thirds of his 1st team missing
Enough already with the excuses
Set of fucking gloaters. It's not gonna stop anything. Fucking idiots.
🏆🏆🥈🏆🏆🏆🏆
Every season City won the epl without a key player.
But Rodri is an important player
So if City wins the epl without Rodri what would they say
Rodri's agent has said go on sick CHEAT CODE IS CRUMBLING
He won’t be missed at all, City’s bench is full of replacements. They have Nunes who is actually really good and is unlucky to be playing in Rodri’s position who is the best player in the world. And also they have Kovacic who is excellent also. Also Stones literally helped them win a CL playing in Rodri’s position.
I love the degree of shear stupidity and boundless ignorance in comments sections regarding the importance of Rodri. Some of the authors must have the intellectual prowess of a mule hoof. The idea that missing Rodri shouldn’t be an issue is not only objectively false, it’s completely disingenuous. We are many talking about a top player like a KDB or an Odegaard or Vini jr of which there may be a handful of other players on the same level as them. Unfortunately, no one is at Rodri’s level.
This is a DM who got 23GA last season. Let that sink in. He’s a DM as good if not better GA than a lot of attacking midfielders. Of course this will be a huge negative for City. Question is, will it be enough to lose the league?
the fact they are level on odds with arsenal with 2pts ahead shows how this is a blow, especially in champions league.
I think John stones can do it.
We all Here know with or without Rodri the CL is going to be for Real Madrid again. But with Rodri only City would have a chance to beat them
Rodri is not more important than Pep Guardiola. The team will play well and we don't need to idolise the next Rodri replacement
City are a bunch of cheats!!
Caicedo is far better than Rodri
World football has no replacement. Arsenal’s dirty plan to injure Rodri worked..
City win the league even if Rodri is out for season
With Rodri 73% win ratio, without him 64%. It will definitely effect them, 64% win ratio isn’t good enough to win the PL
Bigggggg loss
When VVD was out for a season , and later lost all the centerbacks to injuries, Liverpool fans were told to suck it up
Bs..With or without Rodri City is beating 70% of the pl teams anyway
Thanks rodri isn't the best defensively his just in pep system I neva new him before city im glad his resting
He got the rest he needed but in awful way. Too bad. Beast player. Get back soon
Every time I listen to the ESPN pundits they make me feel to puke. Are they analysing situations just to impress the listener or are they just not thinking of what they are about to say. The stats don't lie, but Rodri is an individual, not a team. His contributions are well-documented, however, Manchester City is a squad of several players with different skill sets.
Why can't you use an interrobang‽
