Why Rodrigo is Manchester Cityâs unsung hero Following a relatively disappointing 2019/20 season, Manchester City is back to their impressive ways for the current campaign. The Citizens are leading the Premier League table by 11 points over crosstown rivals Manchester United and currently undefeated in all three cup competitions (Champions League, League Cup, and FA Cup). The impressive form shown by Pep Guardiolaâs team is quite frankly astounding. Yes, the club has been built by spending a massive amount of money over the years; however, this particular season has been interesting due to the fact that City have been nearly unbeatable despite playing many matches without a true number nine center forward.
