Dinho needs to be replaced this summer, we cannot go into another season with no other real option for when Rodri starts putting in these kind of performances. He's largely been no problem at all this season, he's improved drastically and was very good first half of the season, you can accept wobbles, hard for anybody to maintain his early season level but there's been a steady decline for a while. The deficiencies in his game that can't be improved upon still remain, we really need a more mobile option as an alternative for certain games and he seems to have a prolonged wobble in him every season. Need an alternative to force him to be on it at all times, nobody should feel their spot is safe and with a 87 year old dinho, he's arguably the least challenged player in the squad.
Too easy to say he needs Bernardo next to him and he will be fine. No player can be in our side if they can only perform when somebody else is holding their hand. No presence at all infront of the back 4 today, a performance like that against the scousers and we get well and truly spanked. Hopefully he's well up for playing his old club and that sparks some life into him.
