Would Nico have played against Arsenal? Don't see how he could have prevented an injury to Rodri.

Bernardo Silva: “Something has to change. You learn who you can go to war with, first of all"
- Thread starter Gorbachev
- Start date
People are so fickle.If you need to know who you're comfortable going to war with, have a look at our highest paid player, who bottled out of taking HIS penalty in the world's showpiece game of the season last Saturday.
Fuckin' bottler! What an example that was; what a testament to our season - and his. He's got a fuckin' long way to go to recover from that, in my eyes.
IMHO, that's who Bernardo's talking about - and it needed saying!
I worship the ground that Bernardo walks on but if if that is what he meant with those comments. Then it’s a bit rich considering his penalty in the Champions League penalty shout out with Real Madrid last season.If you need to know who you're comfortable going to war with, have a look at our highest paid player, who bottled out of taking HIS penalty in the world's showpiece game of the season last Saturday.

Without mansplaining, having Nico in earlier would have meant that Rodri wouldn’t have had to play more or less every minute of every game for the past 12 months which would have reduced the load on his body, in particular his knees.Would Nico have played against Arsenal?

I like the idea of a penalty shout out. I wonder which five players have the loudest voices?
That wouldn't have prevented his impact injury from a rough tackle. And Pep wouldn't have played Nico anyway, nor Rodri any less.Without mansplaining, having Nico in earlier would have meant that Rodri wouldn’t have had to play more or less every minute of every game for the past 12 months which would have reduced the load on his body, in particular his knees.

Rodri jarred his knee at a corner it wasn’t an impact injury from a rough tackle.That wouldn't have prevented his impact injury from a rough tackle. And Pep wouldn't have played Nico anyway, nor Rodri any less.
It was. Well, not a tackle in the conventional sense but certainly the coming together/push was the reason his knee went. I'm not claiming Partey set out to injure him, but it certainly wasn't an out of the blue fatigue related injury. He had a run of games off in the run-up to that game as well.Rodri jarred his knee at a corner it wasn’t an impact injury from a rough tackle.
That's exactly the sort of attitude I'd like to see.His replacement as captain can be quite tetchy when he doesn’t win too.
City have proven time and again they're willing to get rid of players who don't fit in.Players are usually last out the door, especially those sitting on lengthy contracts.
i remember the incident he was actually pushed by the arsenal player which knocked him off balance and then his knee went as he hit the floor, exactly the same same thing happened to bojinov v utd ( evra challenged him hip to hip and he fell off balance and did his knee or ankle as he hit the floor )Rodri jarred his knee at a corner it wasn’t an impact injury from a rough tackle.
Maybe if the player is willing they go out on loan, but your Mendy, Grealish and Phillips types are here for the duration of their 6 year contracts as no one else will pay near what they are getting here.City have proven time and again they're willing to get rid of players who don't fit in.
It was never in doubt.I can guarantee he’ll still be in Manchester in September

And he's captain tooIt was never in doubt.
Nice to have a captain who will say it like it is - not Walker who used to press shuffle on a soundboard and say whatever it came up with.
Think Bernie will be a brilliant captain. All four of them - Bernie, Rodri, Dias, Haaland - aren't ones to shirk away from a bollocking.
