Man City fans savage Stephen Warnock for ‘worst take’ on Mateo Kovacic
Man City fans have been left furious with Stephen Warnock and Sue Smith over their assessment of Mateo Kovacic.
The pundits spoke to Sky Sports about the differences between the Croatia international and Rodri, claiming that Kovacic can be “Very frustrating to watch at times.”
The 30-year-old has been a consistent figure in Pep Guardiola’s team this season, starting every Premier League fixture so far.
Kovacic’s role has been increased due to Rodri’s injury, with the Spain international having been ruled out for a significant period of time due to a knee injury.
The Croatian has added goals to his game this season and has already scored three times, including a brace in Man City’s 3-2 win against Fulham last weekend.
That is why supporters were quick to defend the central midfielder against any backlash from Warnock and Smith.
