Not going to predict Pep that would be stupid. Going off his history though I can't see him playing a double pIvot. He's always done that by having a defender step into midfield.Who knows though he might.

Yeah but as others have said, we were in for Rice. So his intention must of been to play Rice and Rodri together.

Rodri into the stones role while he recovers the knee, get an extra AM in the middle with that. :D

That would be a waste of Rodri's abilities and unlikely. Even if he did it would only be a short term thing. If Pep wants it I'm on board but it would surprise me.

True, that surprised me as well :)

oh yeah, very short term idea while he gets up to speed etc

Is playing centre back and stepping into midfield much easier though? Wouldn't like to say one way or the other really.

less ground to cover with a proper 6 just sat in there over this system we have now. Gives a nice solid base to let all the new shiny attackers go nuts and take more risks having that cushion. Dont need him to box to box it, just sit in the two curtailing.

if needs be, doubt he will but has all the tools for that role over anyone else bar Stones i think, with more attacking upside.

Theoretically though as i see it. it might be a nightmare for him in reality.

Rodri into the stones role

Hopefully that doesn't mean Rodri to start missing 1/2 the season from injury.

Love Stones but as stones go he's definitely become mica.
