And when he plays Rodri is so much more influential in attacking areas.A player that does the hard yards essential to any top side .

I know he’s not that old, but he seems like such a mature, old soul. Kind of boring (did you see the video this week - the most interesting thing about him is he drinks coffee), but not in bad way. He seems like humble, hard worker. I know everyone is done with players who only contribute to the atmosphere (Phillips), but I do think if Kova can manage some lower opposition games and give a solid 20 min in more competitive games, he’s doing his job. We need people like that who just get their head down, don’t complain about minutes, and are a good mentor.
Absolutely, Rodri is free to run the show !And when he plays Rodri is so much more influential in attacking areas.
He was anonymously poor. If there is such a thing. I definitely didn't enjoy him today.This is a terrible summary. If he's doing his job right, he's going to be largely anonymous, he's not in there to be flashy he's knitting our play together and he did it well if not brilliantly today. Two solid performances from him now after the arsenal disaster.

Not sure the midfield signings have hit the spot from our normally high transfer performances. We now have Nunes, Kovacic and Lewis who seem to play best as a CM and are not particularly creative. When we are at our best we generally play Rodri + two creative midfielders. We have 3 players who play a position which at best we need 1 for a bit of variety in midfield options. Nothing to show that either Kova or Nunes can provide the cover to Rodri which Kalvin has been unable to
We just won our last two PL games 3 -0 and 6-1 , pep used 2 different systems. Our tactics and squad are always evolving under pep . Lewis has been fantastic whenever he has got minutes he offers us something completely different. Nunes hasn’t shown much but is work in progress, Phillips won’t be with us much longer I reckon .Not sure the midfield signings have hit the spot from our normally high transfer performances.

I mean obviously we are an amazing team and well run club, so all my criticism is relative to those standards. I think it's valid to question Kova and Nunes signings particularly in the context of gundog leaving. I hope I'm proved wrong but neither of them looks defensively solid or offer enough going forward currentlyWe just won our last two PL games 3 -0 and 6-1 , pep used 2 different systems.
