Are Man City 'afraid of upsetting Rodri'?

We asked for you what one thing - good or bad - that nobody is talking about at Manchester City but should be.

Here are some of your comments:

Mike: The elephant in the room is a replacement for Rodri. Even now our activity in the transfer market is around defenders and a backup striker. Zubimendi was available but now he looks as if he is going to Arsenal. We are dragging our feet over Ederson at Atalanta. Is it that we are just afraid of upsetting Rodri or that Pep Guardiola thinks we can survive without him?

Boza: We do not have the hunger that we used to have. The reason Liverpool sit top is because their team wants it more, otherwise we have a better squad than Liverpool. The second we get our hunger to win back we will be on form again.

Brian: Manchester City are now playable. Other teams have found the Achilles heel. The high-line is not easily defended and too much possession means that teams now push on in the counter-attack. Is the Pep gameplan no longer an asset?

Jahn: We need more clean sheets. I love Ederson, but it seems he is no longer at his best.

Kevin: It needs to be acknowledged that Gundogan's return has been an unmitigated mistake. His contribution has been ineffective and is miles away from his previous contributions. The end of his contract can't come soon enough.

Roger: The bigger picture of not having a succession plan in place for either ageing players or coaching staff will bite.
