Wow.
You don’t think that we may be a bit more susceptible to a counter attack if Doku plays?
The whole point of Kovacic playing is because he can carry it, doesn’t panic under pressure, he works hard when we’re out of possession and reads the game as good as anyone else in our team. He takes some of the pressure off Rodri which actually allows Rodri to move further up the pitch and hence assist, like he did yesterday.
I would fully expect the team to remain the same for the rest of the season, barring any injuries. Not only is that our best team but it also gives us some great options from the bench.
Rodri is City’s joint highest assist maker in the Premier League this season and is on for his best goal scoring season as well. Kovacic on the pitch gives him licence to play higher, kinda like when Mancini used to unleash Yaya by sticking De Jong on.
