#16 | Rodri - 2020/21 Performances

[Hungarian blue]

For those who have an Athletic subscription, interesting numbers on him regarding his ball progression and success under pressure, although all of this really just proves the eye-test, as this part of his game was most of the time top notch.

The Premier League's best at receiving ball under pressure

Pogba, Havertz and Rodri excel under pressure as do three Fulham players so far this season

Need him to get right into their better players today, no nonsense Nigel de Jong stuff

 

[Holcombe bloo]

Poor so far first half. Giving the ball and free kicks away cheaply and hiding behind scum player from the ball when our centre halves have it.

 

[Holcombe bloo]

Can we use him as a deposit on zakaria? Ohhh what I would t give for a 28 year old Fernandinho

 

[AlexGrimaldo]

terrible first half..slows down the team a lot....too slow passing, too slow dribling, too slow "running", too slow in ball reception...he is the face of the new Pep style: slow, boring and predictable

He’s quite a good player is Rodri. But that’s only good enough if we want to finish 4th-7th.

Just not good enough.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Seemingly indispensable but he doesn’t resemble a top quality defensive midfielder.

We won’t do anything while he is in the team. That “shot” at the end summed him up.

 

[Gabriel]

Want to judge him when he doesn’t have the luxury of another midfielder helping him defensively to the extent he has. There’s enough at the back to release the front five and allow him to keep guard alone.

 

[Jag]

Zakaria can't come in quick enough.
