He needs Rodri next to him and that base wiuld be solid. Then get Anderson and now you can rotate the 3

Although I hope he does, I have serious doubts over Rodri coming back at Ballon D'or level.
Rotation with Nico G, and Anderson would allow Rodri to get back gradually. Nico won't let us down!
 
Nico and Rodri should play together as it just wouldn’t be right to drop Nico when Rodri comes back! I understand that it will be one of the other at times for rest but Nico has earned his place now in that role, absolute class!!

Nico was really good today.

He was, but he allowed himself to be pulled waaaay out of position for their goal.

Tbf, he’s being asked to do an awful lot and is doing it like the Spartan he is, but he’s starting to look leggy in the second half of every game now. Rodri needs to get back on the pitch to either allow his to rest or provide strong back-up.

Either way, Nico is not going to be able to go 2-3 times per week until June!

I agree and it’s been noticeable for a whole that he his high and caught out. So much so, that I assume it’s the strategy. But he looked shattered at about 70Mins when chasing back

He hasn’t got the passing range of Rodders but those back heel flicks in the first half were beautiful

That was a high level performance which can’t carry on forever so we need a midfielder in Jan
 
Very concerned we overplay him like what we did with Rodri until he had to voice it out. God knows when Rodders will be back next to him otherwise a DM might be the absolute priority in Jan.
 
I don’t understand dm shouts for January. So what are they doing with Rodri? They’re putting him on ice for the entire season or planning to sell him? He’s going to be back in a matter of weeks or maybe they do sell him. But if he’s back he’s playing a good bit. Nico will be fine. If anything play Nico there and bring in ait nouri to cover lb
 
Nico was very good indeed again. Such strong, mature, excellent positioning and good judgement and execution of a pass. Skilful as well.

I agree we dont need a dm. I think most are just misusing DM when they just mean a central midfielder as that is what we desperately need. I think you're being rather optimistic with regards to Rodri though, he might get on the pitch in a matter of weeks but he isn't going to be reliably available every game. We went into the season expecting Rodri to be well on his way towards being properly back now and to have kovacic back, we're two players light in that position, we'll get half a player back soon-ish, we've got to use the market to fill the void.
 
I dk. Am I being dense that if he plays Tijjani for Bernardo it solves the issue? Tijjani isn’t a 6. We have too many better 10s. See what he can do at 8 and give bernardo rest. If that doesn’t work buy Anderson in the summer.

It should be solved by Rodri coming and Nico playing the 8. Or swap perhaps
