16 | Rodri 2024/25

[Blue and true]

He watched the second half from the bench. There's not a chance they'd let him sit there if they suspected serious ligament damage. Just my two penneth.

 

[Blue and true]

Me too. But a month is basically missing him for Watford, Newcastle, Slovan Bratislava and Fulham.

We should be fine for those four without Rodders.

Same happened in the CWC final, he’s a drama queen, he’ll be fine

Mendy walked off against Palace from memory. Players usually walk off with bad, bad knee injuries for whatever reason.

Hope I’m wrong, be a massive fucking blow if he’s out for a long time.

Depends what it is and the severity of it. You tend to find people who do meniscus damage dont get up unaided from that despite it generally being considered the lesser injury compared to an ACL injury.

you're entirely correct though in saying people can do their ACL and appear to walk normally immediately after if it's only a small tear. If it's completely snapped however then there's not a chance anybody is taking even a step and will require a stretcher. Both are essentially the same injury and will keep somebody from playing for 9 months yet visually will appear to be very different.

Players themselves might not even have a feeling of the severity, if it's fully snapped ligament you know straight away, I'm sadly speaking from experience on that but if it's a partial tear you could quite easily think it's not that bad.

All that is to say it's Impossible to speculate based on his reaction and apparent walking afterwards. Unless Rodri says he thinks it's fucked or he feels good, we wont have a clue until there's scans.

Praying it's simply a jarring.

Absolutely will be if anything more than a couple of months.

Agreed. We can cope with a month or two if needs be so long as we dont pile more injuries on top of it, if it's any longer, that becomes a big, big problem.

I like Nunes but he is not a 6, not a Pep type of 6 anyway. Kova, Gundo, Bernie and Lewis are the options.

Pep tried Bernie and Lewis at Arsenal last season when Rodri was banned.

In what particular thing Nunes is good at to play for City?

Thanks to poor squad planning. No Rodri’s and Haaland’s back-ups and no actual depth in crucial positions, just to keep some carriers who are giving this team nothing. It’s over for City if it’s ACL. We cannot compete with this midfield all the season.

Oh my god have a day off.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Indeed, but the club didn’t care

so who do you want? Maybe Kalvin Phillips returning from loan? Maybe Matheus Nunes. All options are shit.

Firstly Rodri may not be badly injured, secondly there is no transfer window for other 3 months, third Goretzka is nothing like Rodri, in ability or type. And why did you bring Kalvin Phillips and Nunes into it, I never mentioned either of them

If it’s over, will you stop pretending to be a fan because your posts fucking SUCK.
