Gundo, Ferna and Kevin together in midfield are now like a string vest, adequate in attack but porous in defence.

Sadly we had players in midfield but we did not have a midfield unit and didn't have enough quality up front to disguise it.

I think that is a very accurate summary of where we are. Sad to see Ferna losing possession in dangerous areas in his last few games.

Player dipped under him.

It was a combination of course but this is the Rodri thread.

His value increases every time we see the consequence of his absence.

It won't happen in my life time, but there should be a sin bin/temporary suspension rule introduced for that type of foul, "orange" as Pep suggested. They are too dangerous for a mere yellow but a little short of worthy of a red.

Make that 3.

Have to credit Watford though. For 80 mins. they had 3/4 players within a few yards of Rodri. when City had possession, cutting off the supply to him.

Seems you cannot tolerate any opinion expressed not 100% agreeing with yours, the same goes for any you cannot understand. On the matter of "evidence", why don't you read what is posted. Not once did I imply or state any criticism of Kevin and Bernie playing together. Your statement that our...

I've heard that before and similar phrases a number of times over the past 10 years, most usually when City concede a goal. "Justice was done ", cowboy justice.

Remarkably well researched analysis. Really clears up why one of the world's top clubs bought him and why at 21 1/2 years old he has 22 senior Spanish caps and 12 goals in those 22 games. Fortunately there is no evidence whatsoever that Pep believes we have benefitted from his unavailability. I...

Who posted "evidence" that "they can't play together" ?. Do you watch all the games , do you realise how many different positions Bernie has played in, left mid, right mid, wing, false 9 and that's just this season, rubbish that you claim he "not ever gets shifted". Of course they can play...

Imho you are absolutely spot on. "Different" is the appropriate description, not the "better/worse" argument.

Hope he gets a few more games before you embalm him. He is in his twilight years, still some twinkle there.

2 nits, this could fester.

What lousy luck he is having increasing his PL clean sheet stats. 2 consecutive goals in off the post in 2 games, no justice in football.

Remember exactly where I was and who with watching that second half, proof that in football near miracles do happen.

Sounded much better than that on tv.

Watched on TV3, coverage was good and Brian Kerr always worth a listen. Was feeling good, then post match analysis immediately began "will Poch come to United", ffs, what a let down.
