How ironic that our midfield now has a 'Plodri' in it and we are fucking awful.

It sounds completely insane when the only reason he has to play 75 games is because we wouldn't sign a capable deputy. And we're doing the same thing to Erling.

We did sign a capable deputy who had single-handedly ran MF and back line for Bielsa, who had been a standard England player and who turned into a jelly-bean the first time Pep set his eyes upon him.

Yes. If Rodri played only 1 game in 2024 he would get ACL after that tackle.
The only way not to get it was not to play that exact match.

Whilst it would be brilliant to have him back before the end of the season, right now I’d just be happy if he came back the same player he was before the injury.

Basically Bielsa saw Kalvin had a cracking 30 yard switch in his locker and devised a system around that in order to meta game the Championship. If we bought him expecting to recreate the Leeds setup from the promotion campaign then I don't know what we were thinking.
I did think he looked good for England before we bought him though. I think the shoulder injury robbed him of his physicality and without it he's just a slow average player who has a decent pass under little pressure.
