I normally give players especially foreign ones with no experience of the PL a year to settle in before forming a true opinion on them.
However I just cannot see Rodri getting better, he’s a good squad player to comfortably stroll by against Burnley, Newcastle and Norwich at home but against better teams he’s poor especially when they get round him.
Same can be said for Gundogan as well, we’ve really missed Fernandinho in the middle this year, his ability to receive the ball under pressure and quickly distribute it before he even gets it, something Rodri and Gundogan don’t have.
Posted straight after he participated in a 4-0 win against the 2019 Champions League and 2020 EPL winners, but let's not let evidence get in the way of good narrative shall we.
