It's not just about Rodri...or certainly should not be....Don't actually think our general performance tonight was that bad. Just poor poor errors at both ends of the pitch. Both penalties were shocking. Good to see Kev back at least.
For everybody, not just us.No, they're just 2 points ahead of us despite all the issues we have have all season. It is relentless, 2 games a week every week except for the international breaks, which just stretches out the season and makes it worse, and takes even more out of the players (most of whom are internationals) because of all the travelling for a pointless tin pot international competition. The big problem this creates is the lack of recovery time, especially when most of the players are paying for most of the summer. It's more or less an 11-month a year job now, so you get more injuries and it takes longer for players to recover.
Yeah but mate we already know you can't rely on Ake and especially Stones to stay fit for any significant amount time, and we know that Walker is 34 and past his best, and you can't be sure that Pep and Txiki know about it too and yet they did nothing about it.Maybe having some fit defenders would help?
We know that.He’s the top scorer in the premier league, Gvardiol and Kovacic are the next best with 3 goals each and that’s the biggest problem.
