I fear Rodman is more of a risk then an asset. She takes little seriously. Her temper tantrums when things don't go her way, and her pattern of laying off the play when she doesn't get a call in the past have been harmful, and troubling. I hope she proves me wrong, but less tiktok, more serious soccer would be just great.
I've yet to see a game where Rodman was a detriment to her team, club or national. She's a constant threat to the opponent. She plays full-throttle with/without the ball when other players are just going through the motions. She's got a healthy edge to her game. She is exactly the type of player Emma Hayes wants on her team. Hayes would be in hot water if she excluded Rodman based on "fear"
Good thing you're not the coach. She has every right to get upset with the way she's fouled every game. You would get upset too if you got tackled and kicked the way she does, and the ref just let it go on. Last game, the goalkeeper literally tackled her outside of the box and didn't get sent off. There was a ridiculous no call against Gotham where Tierrna ran over the ball and tackled Trinity like a linebacker. Maybe she needs to start rolling around like the men to get calls.
I don’t. The front three of Trin, Soph and Mal are a monster. Those three leading the line with a midfield of Horan, Coffey, Lavelle and Macario is absolutely frightening. This team on a talent level might only be rivaled by Spain in world women’s football.
