The last time Liverpool scored 90 plus points in the league with Rodri as anchor, we saw a gap wider than Panama canal. A gap that Fernandinho used to eat up every season. Rodri is just lucky Liverpool fell off. His performances at DM will not win a single league against a prime Liverpool like Fernandinho used to do. There is a reason they call Liverpool 97 points, no title. Rodri could never.

Not accurate. Liverpool finished with 92 points in the 2021/2022 season and City still won the league with Rodri.

Like Lordfalcao said, Fernandinho will exchange you, your weak rebuttal and his very own 99 points for what Rodri achieved for City yesterday.

What was a 38 year old grandpa doing on the pitch on that day if not to try and win something which has escaped him for long. So, quit this weak response and accept your L in peace. Rodri lost a league to exceptional Liverpool, but your robust DM lost it to a now relegated Leicester

Please, take your L and download it with Sunday rice.

I did not know Pep was City manager when Leicester won the league

See your Rodri getting washed at Rightback by Harry Kane, and you are talking about Vinicius against a 38 year old.

Next time you want to make a point, do so logically instead of stupidly.

Pep knows each player strength and weakness and decided a 38 year old Fernandinho is the fastest player he had available after Walker and Stones injury. He could have easily put Rodri there if Rodri had any sort of speed. Man City still left that first leg with 4-3 aggregate. And were leading the second leg 1-0. It was Rodris sluggishness that actually lost them that game. Ask me how, and I will show you. I know you don't notice details in football matches.

That robustness is why City made 100 points and high 90s, not having DM jogging back on halfway line while points are behind dropped in their box. Hence the difference between 99 points and 80+

raumdeuter:


Klopp won the CL
Klopp win the league with over 90 points

Wenger was a mediocre coach who scammed his fans

That's why he was always losing 5-1 to Bayern

If Wenger is mediocre for not winning the champions league then Di Matteo is a world classes and better than him?

Bombblacks:

Not accurate. Liverpool finished with 92 points in the 2021/2022 season and City still won the league with Rodri.

Rodri points record - 81 points, 86 points, 92 points and 89 points

He inherited 98 and 100 points from Fernandinho and immediately downgraded it

Rodri goals conceded record - 35 goals, 32 goals, 26 goals and 33 goals

He inherited 23 goals conceded from Fernandinho and immediately downgraded it.

Fernandinho was clearly a more effective and consistent DM.

Ihebu4chelsea:
Thats Last season!! Even if i spend 1bn its not your problem. After all no be chelsea make Barka Broke!! UCL Attachee!!!

See premier league atacheee o. Lol... Your team has the probability of not getting to top 6 in the next 3 seasons than playing in the ucl.

Yes

A boxer who became a world champion by a fluke punch is better and higher regarded than a classy boxer who never became a world champion

Matt Hummels must be better than Kompany and Cannavaro then.

How Man City lost to Real Madrid last season in the second leg from despite being 2 goals ahead in the tie

The winning goal.

Pic 1 - Camavinga receives the ball with Rodri well ahead of him to close any gap

Pic 2 - Rodri has responsibility for Camavinga and City leftback has responsibility for Rodrygo. Camavinga is closing the gap to where Rodris sluggishness would soon cause an overload.

Pic 3 - City left back leaves his man Rodrygo to cover Rodris sluggishness as Rodri cannot keep up with Camavinga. Camavinga plays in Rodrygo to whip in the cross for the winning penalty

These are DM duties that go unnoticed by laymen that make the difference between 100 points and 80+ points. A weakness Stones was brought in to cover. This was the winning goal that knocked City out, not talking about Vinicius washing a 38 year old man in first leg that City have recovered from.

Capaldi:

Wenger is not world class. The only world class coaches that went head to head with Ferguson was Mourinho and Ancelotti meaning for most of his league career Ferguson was the only top coach In England. Mourinho and Ancelotti had no problem dealing with Ferguson united. The only thing going for Ferguson is his longevity in England. Great manager but nothing special.

But Tuchel is special and a great manager too. This is same person asking seun for block button,what a complete irony.

Leyqute:


Matt Hummels must be better than Kompany and Cannavaro then.

Hummels better than Canavaro? Based on what

patrickmuf:
In years to come people will say Messi and Ronaldo would have struggled in their era.

hensben:
Pep is in control of man city boards because na him niggas full there so it make life easy for him unlike others.

If you like let your father own a club,if you don't know how to coach,you will struggle. If it didn't dey,he didn't dey.

raumdeuter:


In Milan when the Serie A was on the downward trend

At PSG is what you want to brag about when even Kimpembe is winning the league as defence leader

You only face what is infront of you.remember you made this rule not me. So let kdb win the UCL playing on the pitch before we rate higher than actual UCL like Mason mount.

Ibime:


The point is made, that Fernandinho was able to more consistently prevent damage to the backline. Rodri is just lucky to play in a time when Liverpool are no longer scoring 90+ points like in Fernandinho time when that consistency was required.

UCL was going to happen sooner or later. If a student keep repeating exam, one day he will pass. That's got nothing to do with the consistency of a DM. That Makelele was not able to win UCL for Chelsea as a DM does not make Mikel who did a better DM for Chelsea.

the DM who holds the record of conceeding 7 goals in a competition on home soil.

Is it the consistency of preventing damage in the backline ?

swiz123:


Do you know Fernandinho is the reason Man city didn't win the UCL last season after Vinicius rounded him and left him for dead. Actually, City was on course to win the tie before they turned Fernandinho like thick amala. Now, City got rid of their weakness and they have a UCL finally.

Without Fernandinho, Pep would certainly have won all those EPL but Rodri has finally won him that golden price.

I will always choose sense over muscle as it has been proven that smart players generally achieve more. So please, change your football philosophy Mr gidigbo.

Fernandinho wasn't all gidigbo and muscle like the way you try to paint him,he was also an intelligent DM and better than Rodri,not taking anything away from Rodri whom has been an exceptional DM for pep and city also,i just couldn't stand the false narrative you want to peddle about the Brazilian midfielder. After all said and done you can continue to torment ibime with his robust DM points.i support you 💯.

In the world.of leprous fingers, once you have physical capability, you are automatically a dunce. Fernandinho is as intelligent as anyone and also has speed and physicality.

Anything other than this is robbery.

Lols.... Even Mbappe is ahead of haaland in ballon d'or ranking

It’s a World Cup year so he does

If not for World Cup Messi doesn’t come close

Mind you if Haaland didn’t ghosted against Madrid and inter he would have won it ,there is a reason rodri is ucl player of the season

If Jorginho and Rodri were hated by a certain moniker and they won UCL player of the season then I pray that person hates Enzo as well, make Chelsea win UCL and make him win UCL player of the season

issokay

I respect your opinion.

But you are telling me that ucl highest goal scorer means nothing cos he ghosted In some couple games?

And one world cup is bigger than all these achievements?

Why not kuku cancel the season and just use world cup alone as yard stick to determine the balon d'or.

Atleast we will know once there is world cup, then the season is prettyuch useless.

NinjaMetahuman:

Absolutely yes!!!

The world cup is the greatest football competition in the universe. Winning it as captain, best player and scoring multiple goals in the process will guarantee you the Balondor. This is not too difficult to understand.

For instance, as good as Paulo Rossi was, it was his 82 world cup performance that earned him the Balondor. He'll go on to win the golden ball and top scorer award and eventually the Balondor. Rossi was poor in the group matches too and only started doing well in the knockouts meaning it was his knockout performances that earned him the award.

Canavaro was a beast in his prime but there's no way he was wining the Balondor if Italy did not win the world cup and he too was the captain.

Show me a footballer who won the world cup as captain, golden ball and scored multiple goals without winning the Balondor, none!

Messi is very clear of the award and naysayers will keep on with Copium till the eight is given.

Infact from recent rumours, Mbape is second because of his stunning world cup display with Haaland in distant third!

Haaland can win it next season if he can keep up with this performance.

World Cup best player award is bigger than all achievements there no matter how you try to sugar coat it

It’s a World Cup year ,there is nothing me and you can do ,ucl top scorer should be winning ucl best player ahead of rodri if he will be taking the award

When Silva played in the EPL he led his defence to 11th place. Mings Guehi and Adarabioyo led their teams to higher

Silva highlights of his entire CL career was leading his defence to the greatest choke job losing 4 goal first leg lead

You best stick to your usual transfer window speculation, hyping your Cucurellas and Bakayokos than stick mouth in discussions you know nothing about and misrepresent with your foolish interpretations. I like Rodri as a CM, he is no patch on Fernandinho as a DM. That's all. Now swerve.
