Rodri's importance to Blues is laid bare
MEN on Sunday
|December 15, 2024
IF there is an argument for how good a player Rodri is then you need look no further than City right now.
-
The Blues are going through a tough patch that Jamie Carragher labelled a 'massive crisis' after a 2-0 Champions League reverse to Juventus extended their poor form to one win in 10.
The stats do not make great reading. City are shipping goals, short on confidence and low on points. No team in Europe's big five leagues have conceded more goals across all competitions than City's 20 since the start of November while they are without a clean sheet on the road in eight matches.
Next up is a derby day Etihad encounter with United today where both sides will be desperate to spark their seasons.
