Nigel Reo-Coker expressed surprise that Manchester City’s midfielder Rodri was not nominated for the Premier League’s Player of the Season award. Despite his consistent performances and impressive statistics, Rodri was left out in favor of other players. Reo-Coker highlighted Rodri’s contribution to City’s success this season, including his passing, creativity, and defensive abilities.
Rodri has made the most passes into the final third of the pitch and has a high number of goal-creating actions and tackles/interceptions in the City squad. His season rating of 7.62/10 ranks him as the second-highest-rated player in the Premier League, above Declan Rice. Reo-Coker believes Rodri’s consistency over multiple league campaigns may have led to him being overlooked for the Player of the Season nomination in favor of newer players like Rice.
Despite Rodri’s impressive performances, the Player of the Season award nominations included players like Phil Foden, Erling Haaland, and Virgil van Dijk. Reo-Coker emphasized that Rodri’s contributions should not be overlooked, as he has been a key player for Manchester City throughout the season.
