16 | Rodri - 2022/23 Performances

[aguero93:20]

I bet you're loving life today. Are you doing the whole quietly smug thing or just going full on rubbing salt in the wound?

He's been dancing around pissed drunk, singing 'The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond' and wearing nothing but a Scotland flag outside the neighbours villa since 5am.

They're German ex-pats though, so they're a bit bewildered.

easy cop out that. his comments were poor, and from someone you'd expect much better from.

I think you’re making too much of it tbh, so what if Rodri said Scotland are shite they are shite, what are we putting Rodri up as some sort of ambassador of football coz he plays for City, he’s a footballer at the end of the day playing for his nation he can say what he likes, he’s not wearing sky blue who gives a shit.

 

[lastmanback]

Expected better from him in his post match interview last night, stunk of hypocrisy and sour grapes. Always thought he was a lot more professional than that.

He was 100% right what he said. Anti football . Only the Scots could have enjoyed watching that match.

 

[Constantine]

I turned on the match stream. Then, I saw McTominay and Robertson and McGinn. Then, I turned off.

 

[kaz7]

Who gives a fuck what he said on international duty , he is a fierce competitor and really cares , scotland are a shit side as well

 

[BM96]

I am sure Rodri is right, I didn't watch the game, but i bet they did all the things he said they did. I still don't like that he has come out with excuses for losing to Scotland. It is very Kloppish and people are having a good laugh at his expensive. Hopefully he can take it on the chin next time.

No surprise the manager makes loads of changes, yet Rodri starts both games. Maybe if he had picked a stronger team they wouldnt of had to complain about the opposition.

 

[supersonicblue]

Rodri’s in the wrong here, the Spanish attempted to cheat and dive their way to victory. He was one of the few in their team that didn’t. Scotland have made the most of their limited resources and are playing football in a style that suits the players available. They have every right to sit back against a side who dominate possession.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

still don't like that he has come out with excuses for losing

He didn't though. The first thing he said in the interview was that Spain weren't efficient enough, that they conceded two easy goals and that it cost them the game.

The quote doing the rounds was a direct response to a follow up question about why there seemed to be frustration between both sets of players.

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Not heard his comments first hand. If he said Scotland are a shit team, then he has gone up in my estimations!

Follow up comments could relate to bears shitting in woods & if the Pope is Catholic!

 

[TFC]

Can we just agree that ALL international football is shite and a waste of time?

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Can we just agree that ALL international football is shite and a waste of time?

Yes, I hate international football.

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

Expected better from him in his post match interview last night, stunk of hypocrisy and sour grapes. Always thought he was a lot more professional than that.

Ahh no you reckon we should sell him?

 

[Barcon]

Rodri should not have to share a pitch with Scott McFucking Tominay.

 

[bluemoon32]

You make comments like that after you win a game, not after you've just got battered.
Oh well, never mind, back to proper football this weekend thank fuck

 

[Withnail]

Rodders has been immense this season, he is the 1st name on the team sheet imo. His importance to the team can not be understated and in order to win any trophies this season it is vital he stays fit and maintains form. His intelligence and positional sense is key and makes up for his lack of mobility. He along with Ake and Haaland have been our best players this season imo.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Good game,looks different class most of the time.....but the unnecessary yellow could have cost us,Hooper could very easily have dished out a 2nd when the tramps were hounding him to do so.

 

[OB1]

So few comments after yesterday kind of shows that we are taking his brilliance for granted; not in a bad way.

 

[Legal Alien]

I'm glad we have the week off, he needs a rest as i thought he looked a bit leggy yesterday, especially in the first half.

He is vital for us and we need him healthy for the run in.

 

[Sheikh rattle and roll]

Good game,looks different class most of the time.....but the unnecessary yellow could have cost us,Hooper could very easily have dished out a 2nd when the tramps were hounding him to do so.

Hounding him you say ? Didn’t we get fined for that against Arsenal
I wonder if the same will happen to Loserpool

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Remember when Rodder's was getting pelters most week on here?

First name on the team sheet these days. Absolutely class again on Saturday. 'Unlucky' to get a first challenge yellow card, and rode his luck a little bit after that. Apart from that he had a pretty solid game.
