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
So Rodri injuring himself really exposed them
If they can't hold the ball in midfield then their whole gameplan crumbles as they do not have strength there to compensate. And without that control in midfield, they can't create chances and score either. So that flaw cutting both ways damn.
Seems like they are also riddled with injuries though so that doesn't help but Rodri really was the corner stone.
@Yayo Toure , who are yall looking to replace Rodri ?

Tbf, they did try to convince Palmer to stay but he wanted out because he didn't believe the pathway was for real. Same thing has happened to Chelsea several times over the years.

Kovacic.

They will probably sort it but it would cost them way more than it would have.
I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner but I guess with Rodri it couldn't really happen. If pressing comes but the ball already left lol
Age definitely caught up to Gundo, he was transparent today. I think Foden was ok and Kovacic so so. But Bernardo doing a better job in midfield than Gundo is a terrible look. I'm wondering how their midfield will look after winter.
At the very least, they need a strong box to box player and Rodgers is that kind of player and yall say he was in their academy smh
True. But all things considered, he was right. Pep wasn't going to push him through unless he was forced to. If you have a healthy Rodri and KDB you're not seeing Rico. But more than that, he's too in love with his system. He could have been future proof with Foden as a wide 10 on the left and Palmer a wide 10 on the right, Rodri/Kovacic double pivot. But there wasn't even the possibility in a change of system or personnel to fit him.
This City is a perfect example of a bully that never learned how to fight. They got hit in the face one good time and now they can't recover.
