We will beat them with or without him

That sounds like a U2 song

 

[Blue Maverick]

Rodri is a tough loss but we are still comfortably better then them

Haaland might send slabhead into an early retirement

Isn’t Maguire injured ?

Maguire wont play..he wont get anywhere near the pitch....It will be Varane and Matrinez who are much better

Christ, serious amount of flapping over one player being out

We will beat them with or without him

Tbh rodri is arguably our most important player with how we set up. His passing and way he breaks up play is vital for us. Feel if anyone else was out we would be ok but rodri is too important and we have no cover

The only option that I can think of, other than Gundo, is playing Akanji as the number 6. I’m not sure Gundo I completely trust him. He’ll have to be very disciplined and not push too far forward.

It s not just that, its his physical ability to play the role...he doesnt have it

Fuck! This is getting worse

 

[deano ou812]

Wasn’t Rodri pictured in training post international break?

Yes he was,must have picked something up after training unfortunately..

 

[argyle]

Bringing in a sick note to cover for Rodri wasn't the best.

Gundogan it is then.

Will also mean Walker will be going into midfield again. :/

Or COVID.

Yes he is , sadly , but then he gets away with wrestling every game and that is an advantage forthem as olivar wouldnt give us a pen unless thor gets decapitated
