‘He’s got everything’: BBC pundit in awe of ‘fantastic’ Manchester City star who eclipsed Haaland v Brighton
Erling Haaland might have helped himself to two more goals as Manchester City saw off Brighton today, but other City players shone as well.
The Cityzens cruised past Brighton in the end despite a goal from Leandro Trossard threatening to make the game a closer contest than it might have been. Haaland bullied his way to an opener before slotting in a penalty, while Kevin De Bruyne got himself on the scoresheet late on as well.
However, despite De Bruyne and Haaland scoring again, was left blown away by just how good Spanish midfielder Rodri was. Often the glue in the middle for City, Rodri was once again one fine form and Robinson admitted he is his favourite player in the game.
“Rodri is my favourite player. He is fantastic,” Robinson said for the .
“He’s the all-round central midfielder. He’s got everything; he cruises through games. One of the best players in the world.”
Rodri is always picked by Pep Guardiola in the big games and while City signed Kalvin Phillips in the summer to provide back up and competition, the England man’s injuries have seen Rodri thrive again.
TBR’s View: Rodri Brilliant For Manchester City v Brighton
There are so many talented players in the Man City squad that someone like Rodri is easily overlooked.
He does all the work a lot of players might not want to do but he does it with such a confidence and class that he doesn’t look out of place among his teammates either.
Rodri has been one of Pep Guardiola’s truly great signings. There was a point when it looked impossible for them to replace Fernandinho but in Rodri, they have someone is arguably even better.
