Rodri has been City’s best player for two seasons running now.
He won’t win any awards because he isn’t an attacker breaking goalscoring or assist records, he isn’t doing stepovers and dribbling past five men, and he’s not a defender making last ditch tackles… but he’s our best and most important player for me.
Rodri is the heartbeat to the way we play. He is City’s engine. Everything good we do goes through Rodri at some point (or at numerous points) in the passage of play.
