It does make sense if we go to a double pivot. You would then have both Rodri and Rice/FDJ/Philips breaking up play but then also supplying the 4 in front of them . They wouldn’t be on the bench they’d be starting.

Exactly. Bernardo drops to a double pivot to aid the build up against certain teams. He doesn’t do it defensively.We played it v Chelsea but with Bernardo as that other pivot with Rodri. Highly doubt Pep will want two defensive players in a pivot ever tho.

In the 2020/21 season, Guardiola used a 4-2-3-1 more often than in any of his prior seasons at Manchester City. A double pivot of Rodri and either Ilkay Gündogan or Fernandinho covered the space ahead of the back four

That’s not true. Only for the build up from the back.In the 2020/21 season, Guardiola used a 4-2-3-1 more often than in any of his prior seasons at Manchester City. A double pivot of Rodri and either Ilkay Gündogan or Fernandinho covered the space ahead of the back four
4 1 2 2 1 is always his preferred formation.
Never happening. 1. Pep playing a double defensive pivot. 2. City paying 120m for a player only to play backup and in a double defensive pivotIt does make sense if we go to a double pivot.

Bayern fans hate her. She’s a city fan watches the games all the time
"Y'all?' Wasn't aware she was a Southern girl. Real test is if she knows when to properly use "all y'all" versus "y'all."
Gnabry for Sterling ain’t much of an upgrade. Just getting a slower player when we are lacking pace.Really like Felix but Gnabry looks nice too

Its 2 Registas in a pivot. Rodri isn’t just a CDM hes a Regista same as Kalvin Phillips. Gundogan was another Regista in that formation when we used it.
