A quality DM the very thing we have been missing all season. Brilliant first half performance!
 
This is what we needed, this is what we were crying out for. It's not a coincidence that even though we've had 3 of our best defenders out, this was STILL our best defensive performance of the season. Barely any mistakes on the ball.
 
Looks a player. There was a moment near the end where Livramento burst through the middle and Nico just was like “nah I don’t think so”, got his body in the way and stopped it dead.
 
Impressive debut. Knows how to position himself and set the tempo. It's what we needed
 
Jeeez! In one game it’s become so clear how much Rodri means to this team. Peps game is built on that position, which seems obvious being where he saw the game from as a player.

We have missed an anchor in that midfield since the Arsenal game when Rodri got injured.

Now it seems like we will have 2 to rely upon.
 
Geordies we're poor but we were so much calmer with and without the ball. I put that down to him.

Excellent performance.
 
I'm not going to go overboard because that was only his first game but that what you call a DM performance, it's not about trying to dribble past the opponent's midfield or playing hollywood passes, it's about protecting your defence, winning balls and passing it to another blue shirt, he didn't do anything that a good DM wouldn't but because we haven't had a DM since Rodri's injury he looked like a world-beater, shame he didn't play against Madrid in the first leg but he's an automatic starter now.
