[City of Troy]

Immense as always

I’m in love with this guy

Hopefully, that puts to rest the Rice/Rodri comparisons. It won't, but it should...

 

[Lowtower]

Hope Declan took some notes in todays class.

Could use them in the Euros

 

[eversince 76]

Worldclass performance. Again.

 

[alexmcity]

Best player in the world.

Won't get a Ballon d'Or, unless we win the Treble again. He is phenomenal though.

 

[dave_blue12]

Fantastic performance. Did everything except win us the game.

 

[skillman]

Love the bloke. Did about four player’s jobs today and proper fought in the middle. Leader. Give him the captaincy and a 10-year contract.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Made Rice look woeful. There's a gaping chasm between him and anybody else in his position. If rice is value at £100 million, Rodri has to be worth in excess of £200 million

Hopefully, that puts to rest the Rice/Rodri comparisons. It won't, but it should...

The fact that such a thing exists is beyond absurd. It’s not even close. Like at all. Be it this life or a parallel universe

 

[The First Earl]

Absolute immense. Best in the world by a country mile for his position.

 

[nellyonthewing]

Had no movement in front of him to work with.

Hopefully, that puts to rest the Rice/Rodri comparisons. It won't, but it should...

 

[Goater=Legend]

It was never a thing. Arsenal fans was just getting ahead themselves as usual.

 

[alexmcity]

 

[Crooked_rain]

Absolute immense. Best in the world by a country mile for his position.

Maybe in any position

I wouldn't say there's anybody better in their respective positions than Rodri is in his

It's just more attacking players will always get the accolades.

 

[DenizCTID]

Scary How good he is. Also scary how bad we are if he isnt available. Some of our squad needs to step up. He‘s clearly our heart and the main man. I‘m sure we would‘ve lost it if he wouldnt be there against Arsenal.

After this Season we Need a clear replacement to keep him fresh. Phillips Wasnt anywhere near that Level and will Never be.

Imagine Rodri wouldnt Play next 2 of 4 Games. The rest you Can think about it and how we would predict these Games.

Just look at how fast Rodri was to intercept turnovers and recycle possession in that game, it was incredible.

Can't remember what Rice did.

 

[Claytop]

Rodri is head and shoulders above the rest of our squad at the moment, and has been for most of the season.

He's our only world class player in that every single game, you know you're going to get at least 8/10 from him.

There's a reason he's not lost a game for over a year, and we should make him captain in the summer and look to bring in a couple more players that are at his level.

I don't think many/any are.

 

[chris85mcfc]

I don't think many/any are.

Agreed, he's in a class of his own at the moment.

Worth remembering that he didn't turn up at City at this level, so it's hopefully about finding some players who can grow to be at that level.
