Rodri is so disrespected. Team doesn’t win when he doesn’t play. That simple
That’s just illusion created by media. Whole season city have lost 4 games and fortunately he didn’t play in it. But people forget the main reason was KDB not Rodri. Rodri has lost possession this season quite a few times. Still a top player but good only in Pep’s system. Since they’re dominant in possession he doesn’t face many challenges like other defensive midfielders
@@rockymaniasterHave u watched him play for Spain. Also, surprising how ppl claim it's not Pep who made some of this players great, that they were great already, but turn around to say "He's only been able to play the way he does bc he's Pep system": how cld anyone reconcile this.
@@rockymaniaster what are you on about the guy was missing for 3 games and the lost all 3 cause the midfield could not work, there's a reason hes unbeaten for like 1 whole year only losing on pens, rodri is more important than KDB, Haaland and foden for city it been proven the others can score goals or rodri himself will score them if needed
@@NATAR160 Spain is also possession based team and I think he plays as defender for Spain. Here we’re talking about this season in EPL. And he has been good but not that great people make it out. I’ve seen him lose possession so many times this season. Even more than flop Caicedo and he plays in best city team ever. Just imagine
@@zattanna74 nah! If KDB was not injured, league would’ve been wrapped up by now. Rodri is in good form since last season but as I said he looses possession a bit more than other midfielders. But he is lucky to be in that city team. Though he suits that system. That’s all. Before 2022 he was bang average. Pep was even worried that he didn’t even start him in ucl final against Chelsea. He has been good recently and people have recency bias. So they don’t understand that he is good but not great
Rodri is not getting any award but everyone knows he is simply the best.
It's a f*king disgrace to NOT have your BEST player in your league in Player of the year..Rodri best by miles
Rodri deserves it more than any other player. Rodri is far better than Rice, in the case of Foden with or without him city will find a way to win. Reminder that all the games Man City lose are the games Rodri missed. So Rodri deserves it more than anyone.
How can Shaka say Rice has been better than Rodri this season…
Shame on Shaka
Why is it a shame ?
Big shame i think he doesn't watch him.
@@Wiredu big shame
I'll put Rodri before VVD!!!! 😢
Rodri above alexander isak
Rice better than Rodri, yeah OK Shaka, you absolute clown
Touch you head and seh cap
Couldn't put it better myself.
Rice is not even better than Partey or Caicedo
@@bastianogero9609Man said Caicedo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Caicedo is not even better than Jorginho 😂
Rodri ‘s passport is not British. Mind the fans voted for this shot list. It’s a shame man. ESPN is also biased and favour English players
Rodri not getting nominated for the Premier League Player of the Season award I see why people don’t take individual awards seriously because sometimes they’re just glorified popularity contests that’s just about PR and popularity. Are people even watching football this season. In terms of consistency he has been Manchester City’s best player, he’s literally an 8/10 every week and even when he’s not at his best, you can see how much of an impact he has in the game and they’re a much better team when he on the field. In the premier league alone, he has 7 goals and 9 assists 16 G/A as a CDM, he is undefeated in the games in which he’s started and he’s gone a full year without losing a game in the premier league, yet again no nomination. This one stat sums up his importance to Manchester City and why every elite team needs a proper CDM. Manchester City have lost 3 games in the premier league this season and all of their defeats came when Rodri was suspended. In his absence the team really struggled and the fact that even a team as good as Manchester City aren’t the same team when he doesn’t play it just shows you how important the holding midfielder role is in modern football.
If he wasn’t suspended for the games that they lost in, there wouldn’t be a close title race in the Premier League and one thing is inevitable for Manchester City when Rodri plays in the Premier League they either win or draw. With all due respect to Erling Haaland how is he nominated for this award over Rodri. 25 goals in 28 games are good numbers for him and he is still leading the premier league in goals and while he’s still scoring at an elite rate; he’s not been at his very best this season. He has struggled with injuries and even when fit he’s been very inconsistent and he’s gone missing in a lot of important games and he has missed the most big chances out of any player in the premier league this season and he’s a prolific striker on a team that creates so many chances. Haaland has underperformed his expected goals at times and has missed easy chances. Because he has more PR even though Rodri is far more important and consistent to the team as he is, Haaland got nominated even without being great by his standards. Remember in 2023, he had more trophies and individual accolades than defeats for club and country helped Manchester City win the treble by scoring the game winner in the champions league final yet again didn’t even make FIFPPRO XI. Players need PR and media hype, PR or not, I don’t care Rodri doesn’t need any of that because his performances on the field mean more than just media hype and popularity because anyone who watches the games would know how irreplaceable he is to Manchester City and if he has a period where he was injured or missed more games with suspension, they wouldn’t be in the title race in the premier league that’s how much of a difference Rodri makes for Manchester City he’s that good.
Jesus...mate😂😂..which newspaper do u work for
Waaw i even forgot I'm in the comment section
Excellent
The award is irrelevant if Rodri isn't even nominated.
What's he's stats.. you people just open your mouth waaahh.. and say anything you want.. i heard someone saying Rodri is the best player in the league.. ahead of Watking nd Palmer
@@nwaobisikesamuel4734 "Open your mouth waaahh." That's rich, coming from you and your deep-fried grammar. Go back to preschool.
@@nwaobisikesamuel4734 stats man please share the stats here lets see
Shaka is delusional. Rice is not better than Rodri this season
Rodri and Rice both deserve to be in the player of the season
That list is nothing without RODRI
Utter disgrace not having Rodri on that list and nearly as disgraceful, having VVD on that list over Saliba. Whomever came up with this list should def be questioned as to how and why this happened.
Cause every award nowadays is about popularity contest. Even ballon d'or. All awards have already lost their credibility.
VVD has had a great season
@@mikedon5205 Better than Saliba or Gabriel? How so
@@MCFCTheMadHatter it's not like Liverpool are 20pts behind arsenal is it .
That's the trouble people can only remember a season in 6 game installments these days
@@mikedon5205 And I have a goldfish.
Rodri is the frontrunner - Arsenal fan
Saying rice is better than rodri is a crime. Rice is copying rodris game. He himself knows who's the boss
rice is english
Shaka saying Rice is better than Rodri is laughable, but then again Shaka did once admit that he doesn't like Manchester City.
Any day rodri. City was struggling when rodri was not there. The moment rodri was continuously playing man city was a different team. He has not lost a single game. Just imagine, if any day man city can drop one player, kevin, haaland, rodri or foden. Guardiola would never drop rodri.
No rodri is insane
Rodri is clearly better than Rice
I was thinking exactly like Dan about Declan Rice. Shaka?? Seriously?? Everyone is choosing Rodri all day over Rice. Even with the Man City All Star team and players, Rodri is key to them winning or losing. If England has Rodri instead of Rice, they might just with the Euros.
Nah. This is what I call overhyping. He is just a system player. He got dispossessed quite a few times this season. I’ve seen it with my eyes. He is lucky that opposition play low block against city, else his mistakes would’ve cost them heavily. I don’t think he can do well in a team which is not as dominant as city. Simple. I think if u check his stats in EPL application, u can see he got dispossessed much more times than Declan rice did, that too playing fewer games.
@@rockymaniasterno s*** rodri going to have more dispossession as he has touches per game with better passing percentage, better long ball percentage, better through ball percentage, more key passes ,more expected assist , more big chances created , more progressive passes,more passes in the finale third and he is also playing the role of a 6 and a 8 so what the f*** are you talking about rice is not on his level
@@danchiziofficial2159 dude u are talking about player who plays in team where 10 of their players spend majority of the match in opposition half. So more passes more possession more crosses etc are pretty common. Even with everything more he has same stats as rice. But dispossessed is more. He is a good player but definitely not player of the season because there are more deserving candidates.
@@rockymaniasterArsenal have spent even more time in the opposition half than City this season so if Rodri has like a 0.2% lower pass completion rate it obviously doesn’t matter when he leads the league in all the stats that make City so dominant. It’s no coincidence that Rice’s best games for Arsenal come when he has Jorginho or Partey to pass the ball for him. It’s because he doesn’t have the passing range to break opposition structures himself whereas Rodri does so he goes sideways and backwards.Arsenal invert a fullback so they can pass for Rice. City have a CB step up to provide solidity.
@@karmaascendant3936 nah, city mainly relies on walkers pace. If not for his pace, players like vini would’ve got one on one with keepers few times. Rodri is aggressive and gets beaten often. Do u know who has most ball recoveries in the league?
If Rodri played for a United or Liverpool or Arsenal or if he was English he would be hailed as the greatest. But he chose the wrong club for awards.
Why van dijk🤔?
Rodri played like a beast all season, rated by far the best player in the prem with average game stats and yet somehow hes not winning it let alone not even being on this list. Get a grip. Foden has been great but Rodri is next level. And dont get me started on Haaland he should be nowhere near this list.
haaland on that over rodri is laughable. rodri is also the one that scores alot of the key clutch goals, haaland never does.
Haaland is the top goal scorer in the league. If anyone deserves to be kicked off it’s VVD
@@davismorganmusic Agreed
Vvd ?
Rodri was the best player of the season. He is by far the best CDM in the world, to have Rice over him is just British bias
I also have problem Van Dijk being there and not Saliba.
Lol vvd how did he make it there.
Virgil Van on the list after doing what this season. This is unjust you guys about Rodri
Rodri is not there shocking. KDB is not there is even more shocking
KDB has been injured most of the season.
VVD is lucky to be in that list, i would have put Saliba or Gabriel in his place ( that is if you wanted to put a defender there ) . But for me its between : Foden, Rice, or Rodri ( but he is not there ) Haaland had an up and down season and he hasn’t been as sharp as last season ( by his standards) .
What is palmer, and vvd doing on that list. No saka and rodri. The nominated is very fantastic from behind.
The best player in the league is Rodri by far.
This is why I respect Gab he point view is on match Watkins Goals came with no penalties
Yea rodri more than haaland suprise even as a gooner odegaard there
If anyone should be kicked out is Rice or VVD
Rodri SSOOOOOO disrespected. This pundits are soo delulu
If the award comes out before there is a champion crowned then that means whichever team wins the league doesn't matter. That means it's based on purely individual talent and then the answer is clear. Cole Palmer. But really all actually means is it's a popularity contest just like how Messi won so many awards. Every award has been a sham since like the 2000's and media started becoming a thing
I don’t understand on what basis is Declan better than Rodri …. He has the same goal contributions as Declan and less game
Rodri doesn't make headlines, he just does his thing without any fuss or fanfare. It seems everything today is run by people who just look at the names that most often come up in the media or online and compile their list from that because it doesn't require any effort or proper due diligence that might throw up unfashionable players.
VDV?! For why?
Rodri is one best this season if not Man City best player
Yes a player who didn't lose a single match this season should not be in list. Whoever created this list are absolute clowns 😂
Shaka talking rubbish. Rice better than Rodri and Haaland has had a poor season 36 goals, missed 2 months and looking like the top scorer in the prem.
Putting Rice over Rodri wow Shakah u did it again
What is vvd doing in this list?
Shaka wouldn't have the top scorer in the Premier League seriously. Rodri is so underrated.
AS A ASTON VILLA FAN RODRI IS THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD CURRENTLY
How dare you pick Rodri over El Kaabi?
best player in the world?? Oily OIL Shtty doesn't have any best players in the world all are above average!!
No saka and havartz.....to be insane
The Rodri disrespect is ridiculous
rice being there just to bottle it for arsenal
Shaka you are there to make these comments 😅
Where’s Salah?
England you guys should change football is not only for your players to be mentioned rodri is the best player in the whole of premier league and England national team combine
Bro shaka losts his football knowledge in one go
Rice over rodri com on 😂
Rodri is City best player, but he isn't on the list it's crazy 😂
When Martin Odegaard is on the list of best players in your league, then you know you are doing something wrong.
Call your league and I'll tell you Odegaard is a better player technically that your best number 10.
@@josephajibowo-wp2rw Odegaard would have had 3 UCL trophies by now if he had been needed in my league. He is vastly overrated.
Where is Saka????????😢
No Saliba but VVD
How could Rodri not be on this list? Whoever makes the list knows nothing about football
RODRI FOR CITY, ODEGAARD FOR ARSENAL
Where is Maguire?
to have isak on this list of 8 instead of Rodri might be the joke of the year
Not Isak though. That guy would kill it in a team like Arsenal, City or Liverpool.
VVD is they guy to take off the list.
It is just the popular list by English medias. Just think "it is what it is"🤣🤣
Literally Rodri is the best player in Prem, this is a fucking joke
Rice has been inconsistent, he only found form at the end of the season for the last 5 games and all of a sudden he's an unbelievable player? What a disgrace for English football
Facts
City players have been dominating for years. But never got their recognition. Now that teams are copying city is when now they start giving credit but before they called city boring.
Facts ! I don’t know why haaland is there . Rodri should be there
Me neither. Haaland has 25 goals in 28 games this season, he's not been at his best, at Manchester City Rodri has been more consistent than him all season, but because these awards are about PR, no surprise that Haaland was nominated over Rodri
As a city fan it baffled me why rodri is not here and haaland is....haaland has been terrible in big games
@@supersaiyanjin2199 clowns. Haaland should be there. If anyone should be removed it is VVD and Rice
again nedum he has been our most improved player not there most improved player you take a wage from city so back them
Isak and vvd on that list😂
Tf is VVD doing this list? Put Rodri on
Shaka believes rice is better than Rodri?..... Stick to goalkeeping mate! 😬
Rodri>Rice
Why is isak there atleast vvd team is top 4 😂😂
I feel like van dijk has performed a bit lower than the standard he's set for himself, definitely should not be on that list.
Rice is not better than rodri this year 😂😂😂😂
VVD? 😂🤦♂️
English Dm better than Rodri 😂😂😂😂😂
And all the delusional Chelsea supporters in the comments are saying that palmer should win 🤣
Saka 😂😂 Pundit ❌ joker ✅
This is proof that the world encourages mediocrity. He’s been consistently good for years that it feels normal. If Rashford scores 15 goals then he’ll be on the list
Only reason for rodri's absence is because he is not english.
No Rodri but Rice is there 😂😂😂😂😂😂
As usual when an English player does something its inflated ridiculously but for others same and more is ignored
That's england for u they are always corrupt in selection of players
Examples please?
Why on earth is Rodri and Saka not on that list
Saka? No way mate!
No English player should be on the list including One-Trick Saka. English players are so over-hyped by the English media but are so technically inferior to their Spanish, German, French, Dutch, Italian and South American counter-parts as well as being the lowest educated.
@@mycoshe bar rice he was our best player lool
@@JonDavis4678you’re living in the past
😂bro compared saka to rodri
Haaland, VVD, Odegaard shouldn't be there. An average Conor has better numbers than Odegaard. For me the list should be: Palmer, Rodri, Watkins, Foden and Isak
Nope. Haaland should be there as should Rodri.
This list shows that vvd is one of the most overrated players of all time.
People hypes him like hes maldini, but with him, liverpool are having 3 awful seasons defensively (since his signing).
Shaka is biased .Rodri is more better player than Rice.
Maybe if he stopped trying to play thug football they may recognise him more.
It's time we stood up for our heritage and the English game. It's disgraceful that City can dominate the league through rule-breaking spending. Fans need to take responsibility and stop attending their games. 'FOOTBALL MATTERS.' Stop supporting these game killers. Pep Guardiola and City should be ashamed.
Rice better than rodri😂😂😂😂 absolute joke and the laugh when Gibs mentioned his player of the season 😂😂😂😂😂😂 this people just like English player like seriously cus if rodri was from England im sure all of them will ne talking abt him winning the best player
He should replace Cole Palmer … I’m sorry playing for terrible almost relegation battling team and being only the shiny thing in that team that doesn’t suck does make you a player of the season. His team isn’t even in the top 5.
vvd not deserve it
What a weak list. No player has stood out this year, tbh.
haaland has been absolutely trash
up front for a team that makes that many chances . that does nothing but goal hang and get tap ins and half of his goal are penalties
great last year . trash this year beyond trash
an if the villa boss dont get the manager of the year then these awards need to be taken down and stopped now
Cole Palmer has been the best player by far
Bcz isn't English
WHERE IS SAKA
Typical English centred lineup
No Anthony Gordon
How Rodri is not in the list, this show how players are selected, i am sure not by fottballing personnels, those are social media personnel...Virgil has few games very bad, declane has few games very bad, Haaland has few actually many games bad, but when you talk about ROdri... I guess it comes down to team, if he was Man utd or Liverpool or Arsenal player he would sure made ever year even if he was bad for 10 games... it not about football for sure...
Haaland should be there. Rice and VVD should not be
What ven dijk doing there ,another sympathy vote for overhyped Liverpool
