Whats up the scouting at the top level that no one spotted Rodgers. What happened to boy when he was at City?

Rogers probably got lost in the mix of all the good young players clubs like City amass at youth level.

He performed in the Championship and Villa quickly snapped him up.

City clearly lack physicality in both midfield and defense damn

That's what it is really. Rodgers and Onana been bossing. We've seen so many teams do it. Arsenal, Villa, Liverpool, and other's have just out muscled City. Without Rodri and a healthy Ruben Dias they have no steel. Gundogan is old and hasn't been the same, KDB is old and can't stay healthy, Haaland gets no service, Bernardo Silva doesn't have the freedom he used to, and Foden was exposed this summer as a system player that can't create for himself either.

Sure things run their course, but I think also they just been found out. The entire Premiership's quality has risen, especially in the tactical side of the game.

Rogers was in the City system for years. They saw him everyday. They were asleep at the wheel. That was well deserved after the unlucky break before
So City let go of Rodgers, Palmer and probably Liam Delap that's looking like he could be special too.
Rodgers out here being a Yaya Toure clone.

Same thing happened to Cole Palmer. When you're winning as much as City was there's no real reason to push through youth like that.

They just said, Emery found out about him before their FA Cup against Boro last year. He loved what he saw on the game tapes. Roger performed during the game, and that was it. Emery was like snap heeem up

They are starting to remind me of the Yankees. Just throwing money at their problems when the solutions are right there in front of them. But it's only one season so I would expect them to reload and we'll see what happens then
