Looked great in the middle. Bossed it. Pressed well. I feel like they (Management) et al.) have realised that Rodri can’t do it on his own.
Having to Fernandinho next to him isn’t a good look. He can’t play every match anymore. Dinho played the DM role on his own for a number of seasons and did a job. Can’t see Rodri as someone who can do that. Good player but might not be the one for the system.

He did but in a funky old system. We don't seem to want to give him a go in a system that was shown to suit us for 2 seasons
50m euros ia a pretty decent price for a player of his quality
It's an absolute fucking steal. I don't have the foggiest as to why we aren't seriously in for him, especially given the way he's schooled us in the past two seasons.

I really wish we would go for Aouar though. He has the work rate, technical ability and the odd threat going forward. He's a true LCM which is something this squad needs. Our roster construction is so strange at the moment. Offer cash plus Zinchenko if they want him.
Foden is a kid, he will have ups and downs, that's part of his football education.Looked great in the middle. Bossed it. Pressed well. I feel like they (Management) et al.) have realised that Rodri can’t do it on his own.

But at this moment he is not capable of replacing David Silva and should not be expected to.
The only positive to come from yesterday would be if we now changed tune and went all in for Aouar.
Baffles me why we aren't in for him now tbh he seems a perfect pep player in terms of skill and an injection of fresh energy and work rate.

I think he would be a good signing
I just wonder if we are saving whatever money we have to replace kun next year

Most definitely on your point about Foden. That’s why having Kevin or someone reliable behind him helps. Nonetheless, you make valid points.

Would love Aouar, but not sure he would solve any of our problems. He would add creativity and help us keep the ball. But he is not going to do the dirty work in midfield for us. Or make it harder for our opponents to bypass our midfield. Which Leicester did fairly easily yesterday.
