“We need a break. We have the FA Cup game (against Newcastle) and then go to the international teams so it will be good for us to refresh and give the last push at the end of the season,” he said.
“We know how good we are in the last part of the season, we just need to charge the batteries again and focus on the last 10 games.
“It seems you have to win nine or 10 games to win this Premier League. This is the challenge and we are going to go for it.”
Rodri accepted they were not at their best against Liverpool despite taking the lead through John Stones and having the better of the first half.
Liverpool bounced back after the break and following Alex Mac Allister’s equalising penalty, it was the hosts who looked more likely to win.
“An incredible game. We started really well in terms of chances and dominance and I think it was quite good. The second half was their half,” added the City midfielder.
“Of course with the crowd and the way they played and pressed, we weren’t clinical enough to find the spaces.
“We made a few mistakes but with the high press it is difficult, you are not precise with the ball and that’s what happened in terms of the penalty.
“It was a mistake, but at the end we competed. It wasn’t our best performance, but it wasn’t a bad point here.
“They are fighting for the Premier League like us and we got a point. It means a lot.
“We are there in the fight and this club is about the mentality of the team. Sometimes when we don’t play well, (it’s important) we don’t lose.
“Sometimes it is the opposite and we are the team who has to defend a little bit more. We didn’t create many chances and it is what it is, we have to adapt sometimes.
“We wanted three points, but in the final analysis it is fair.”
