26 year old Rodri or Fern.. who would you take?

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

No, and I don't even like thinking about it. And Pep also shoehorned and out of sorts Sterling into the team when he should have not played him. We handed Chelsea that old big ears on a plate, sadly.

I remember driving to the pub in downtown Tampa with Talk Sport on in the car and the team's sheet was read out.
Whoever was leading the show said to one of the ex pros in the studio "what do you make of City's starting selection?"
And the reply was "Tuchel will be looking at that right now and thinking "we've got a real chance here today"

I was with six mates and we all looked at each other in disbelief when we read that team sheet. My pre-match gut feeling soon shifted from confidence to dread, and i wasn't surprised we got beat.

As brilliant as Fern was for a long time, Rodri has gone past him as a player now imo.

This question is evil

Pure evil.

"Your first born or your next born?"

The choice shouldn't come down to finishing and crossing ability.

Rodri is a brilliant player but Fernandinho was one of a kind.

 

[KS55]

Urgh. This is a downer.

Sorry, Rod, but Fernandinho was immense.

Ask me again in around 5 years.

The right answer. Players in this position mature fully at about 30 years of age and can have their best years 30-35.
This shows the strength of the club, replacing one great with a young potential great…..and you can’t see the join.

Fern all day long.

 

[Mr Blue Moon]

Can I have both, using a double pivot?

 

[FantasyIreland]

Dinho had the lot,so underrated [by others,not most Blues].

Rodri is brilliant,and improving....but he just doesn't quite have armoury of our legend.

Every City fan knew what was going to happen looking at that starting line up. So many bizarre choices. Playing that useless little shit Sterling. Not starting Aguero. No defensive midfielder.
