Rodri Injury Updates | City say ligament injury (pg117)

[oldius]

I've just seen footage of Rodri walking about at Barcelona airport. That would seem odd for such a serious injury, unless the video is false.

Absolutely gutted for the lad. But ..this is Manchester fucking City we are talking about, bring it on. We'll win the league by 10 clear points.

Many people are able to walk or even run after an ACL tear. It really doesn't mean anything unfortunately.

 

[fulabeer]

The only hope I have is that he walked onto the pitch at full time. That would be unusual as if an ACL as his leg would have swollen up making that impossible. Will know soon enough

When an ACL actually snaps, you can normally walk straight afterwards.
It a tear that keeps giving pain and swelling later on.
His face said it all for me. I'm just hoping for the best, and if not we deal with it.

Giving Grealish 300k per week who cannot score 5 goals per season, giving Stones 250k per week and not having room for signing Rodri’s back-up. Incredible planning.

Your definitely a lost fucking member.
A big whopping one

I’m sure that woman just says ‘no news for now’

 

[Chris in London]

Don’t know if this has been commented on elsewhere but the slow-mo footage from behind the goal shows clearly Party raise his hands and push Rodri sideways as they both move towards the corner flag.

This was not a coming together or an unfortunate landing. It was a piece of shithousery. Party almost certainly didn't intend a season-threatening injury, but he took the risk with Rodri's knee.

Apart from anything else it should have been a penalty.

More seriously, it is difficult to argue that Rodri was not deliberately targeted. That much was suggested by the evidence of the first three seconds.

Arsenal really are a bunch of cunts.

 

[Mon Autre]

Massive blow if true but writing the whole season off on the basis of one player getting injured is the kind of headloss I expect to see from Arsenal fans. Everyone around the club, fans included, needs to try hold it together.

His girlfriend rather

Well he's definitely limping

 

[blue whippet]

Kowing our predicament, I'd be be surprised if they don't deploy Guimaraes, Tonali, and Joelinton in midfield against us. Irrespective of who we play in there, that combination will be both aggressive and powerful.

Perhaps we'll have to take a leaf from the old varpool playbook and by pass the midfield. We'll just have to get Eddie hoof the ball up for the big man to run onto.

Off to see Dr Cugat?

 

[PolarBearCub]

If you remember Mandy’s ACL VS Liverpool he played on a bit and walked off. He was out for a year and never really got over it before the obvious happened to him.

 

[OB1]

Off to see Dr Cugat?

I would think.

 

[pudge]

Well he's definitely limping

Saka has proven that means fuck all

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

Time for Nunes to step up big time and show the fans why we signed him. Could be a huge season for him now.

He's playing from a pretty deep position here. If Pep can coach him up and let him learn from his mistakes, his athleticism can bring something really different to our midfield, which I believe we are missing currently.

Have you got that footage? The replay I saw, I don’t think Partey could be given much blame.

 

[come-on-barney]

All this talk of Arsenal they will come third. It’s us vs Liverpool for the title. Dippers are dangerous and Salah is back to his best. Media keeps pushing Arsenal and us but Dippers are right there.

I said this earlier, they do have best set of forwards to choose from this season. Not THE best but have a good selection.

 

[PolarBearCub]

Hope that comment is not a piss take of the great Gareth Barry, just saying ;-)

Nope he was a vastly under rated player, not by me though I watched him live and appreciated how good he was. One of my favourite players other fans look at me funny when I say that, shows what they actually know lol

 

[Stelea]

we played 6 defenders that day and were unbalanced, was stones playing rodris role or was it Rico or Akanji? As it was hard to tell.

and we lost 0-1, we were poor but it wasn't a disaster

Somehow we only lost 1-0 but apart from an early Haaland chance we did nothing. Sure Villa had a big possession difference too.
Think Akanji was also stepping into Midfeikd which doesn’t work well
