One of the best and most important players for Manchester City is Rodri, and Don Hutchison thinks that Pep Guardiola’s side struggle without him.
The former Liverpool and Everton player has noted on ESPN that without Rodri, Manchester City do not win as much as they do with him in the team.
The Spain international defensive midfielder will be back from suspension for City this coming weekend.
City lost against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Arsenal in the Premier League before the international break in the absence of Rodri.
Well, so what has Don Hutchison said about Manchester City and Rodri?
Let’s take a look.
What’s the story?
ESPN pundit Don Hutchison has included Rodri in his Premier League Team of the Season so far.
We are still in the international break, so Hutchison has been looking back on the best players in the English top flight so far this season.
The former Scotland international has included Rodri in his team.
While explaining his decision regarding the £220,000-a-week (Spotrac) 27-year-old star, Hutchison said on ESPN: “The reason why I put Rodri in because it just goes to show when he is not playing, the win percentage of Man City is down.
“He is that good and that important to them.”
Manchester City star Rodri is world class
In my opinion, Manchester City and Spain international defensive midfielder Rodri is a world-class player.
The 27-year-old is at the top of his game at the moment.
Under City manager Pep Guardiola, the Spain international has developed a lot in recent years and is now in his prime.
Rodri has made 144 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
The Spain international has scored 16 goals and given 13 assists in those games.
Rodri has won the Premier League title three times and the UEFA Champions League once with City so far in his career.
