Rodri Injury Updates | City say ligament injury (pg117)

[Tier2Blue]

Sad news if true. What a player and will be a huge miss - become our talisman. But, opportunity for someone to step up and hopefully some of the young players will get a lot more minutes. Pep is a genius and his ability to see solutions unrivaled so don’t think this is fatal for this season. Doubt we will buy but think the system may be tweaked. If we are looking for a silver lining then maybe it puts the Real Madrid rumours to one side?

with them targeting rodri since the first SECOND of the game and the bullshit charges, pep better turn this into our siege season. if he does i can see us retaining the league.

Cunts will be throwing the Pimms about

Oat milk lattes going everywhere

berny will be deployed deeper in a double with kova or possibly nunes.

personally I would like to see stones be tried as a sweeper type in a back 3 Josko and Rico pushed more advanced

However best case the injury isn't as bad as rumoured

If Kev is fit, he will always play

 

[Citizen in Pakistan]

Alot will depend on stones, I think he has it in him to fill that role but questions remains whether he can stay injury free for the rest of the season

 

[Coatigan]

Think we need to seriously consider stones as an option there. Kovacic can play some games but surely stones and an inverted Rico can combined be effective.

Yeah Stones doea tend to stay quite injury-free.

We tried Stones v Villa last season and it was a disaster

we played 6 defenders that day and were unbalanced, was stones playing rodris role or was it Rico or Akanji? As it was hard to tell.

and we lost 0-1, we were poor but it wasn't a disaster

Giving Grealish 300k per week who cannot score 5 goals per season, giving Stones 250k per week and not having room for signing Rodri’s back-up. Incredible planning.

Why don’t you just fuck off back to your rag forum and worry about if the Ajax rejects can get you in the top half of the league

 

[Norbert D]

Just a pity Phillips has been such a flop. Rodri had become a target for the twats, like Fernandinho was, we could do with a big strong lad from the youth team who no one’s heard of, someone who can mix it. Either that or bring Nigel De Jong out of retirement.

If Kev is fit, he will always play

obviously, but I doubt he will be for tomorrow or saturday tbh

You seem to quantify things like an 8 year old.

FFS, go have a fucking lie down

Think he will not feature tomorrow, but will be ok to return Saturday

 

[Coljj]

Standing their ground crouched down behind him and not looking at the ball.
A snide Arteta trick

That's more likely down to the set piece coach.

The days of opponents standing on the keeper, backing in, drawing attention to it all before the corner is even actually ready to be taken are gone.

Now they just appear in his personal space on cue just as the kick is taken.

 

[Goatmeal]

Just thought. Rico is the man

 

[Gundoggin]

Shocking news if true . Arsenal deliberately targeted him didn’t they let’s not forget that . John Stones Rico Lewis and Kovacic can cover the position.
Speedy recovery Rodders absolute legend !

 

[eyalluvitt]

6 months emergency loan

 

[Blueeye]

Can't believe all the doom merchants on here we have lost one player admittedly one of the best in the world .but we have plenty of options and some great prospects in the youth team

 

[PolarBearCub]

I long for Gaz Baz….

 

[skillman]

it was Stones, Lewis and Alvarez.

Haha. Oh, Pep!
