I recall Rodri's first season there was a similar view so will reserve judgment until he has bedded in.

Last night was always a step too far, especially with Gundogan and Bernardo next to him who no longer offer rhythm/intensity.
Yep i remember all the stupid "Plodri" posts!
 
I like him. I reckon he’s got a nasty/wind up merchant streak in him that we’re desperate for. He was a bit casual at times last night but he’ll take a while to settle like everyone else does and hopefully his confidence will grow too.
 
He’s actually slower than Gundogan and Bernado.

Another £50m down the drain on a second rate midfielder.

That’s £150m on Gonzalez, Nunes and Phillips. If we play those three in midfield every week we’d be relegated.

No way you're blaming Gonzalez on that suicide setup. He was pretty much the only outright midfielder with Foden and de Bruyne playing as forwards all game.
 
How can you criticise him after he basically played midfield on his own? Far too early to pass judgement, but if it’s judgement you’re after, go and talk some shit about the ginger prince, who yet again phoned it in.

De Bruyne was terrible as well.

Him and Gonzalez should have been hooked at halftime.

Just utter, utter nonsense. He was in midfield with KDB, Foden and Lewis. He was also fine in the match. Christ, people just have bizarre confirmation bias when it comes to our own players
 
He’s unbelievably slow. Not a top player.

Another couple of months and you’ll be agreeing with me.
He’s not any slower than Rodri. He was a one man midfield as neither of KDB and Foden (Doku & Marmoush too for that matter) tracked back. It was a suicidal setup from a defensive point of view. His performance was pretty good. Dictates play, controls tempo and made many good decisions. Not his fault that we can’t defend counter attacks

Looks like a final hurrah for one of Txiki’s agent pals.

Can’t write him off completely as a decent squad option, but he’s not going to be a catalyst of a midfield resurrection for us. Going to need another two in the summer with him being the 4th choice.
