Absolutely fantastic today. So calm on the ball, never looked flustered and played on the front foot with regards to interceptions and winning the ball back.

Sometimes forget he’s only 24 because he’s so composed

He does 3 things so, so well.

1) He wins the ball back so many times, and very high up, so we can attack immediately.

2) He is absolutely always available for a pass. Whenever someone else is in under pressure, no matter how many people are on Rodri himself, he will be in position to receive the ball and ask for it.

3) He is so good under pressure. His body position, his strength, and his first touch mean he can have 2 players on his back when he recieves the ball and he will get it away accurately to someone.

I said this after the Chelsea game, people were saying he's bad under pressure and it couldn't be more wrong. He's fucking brilliant and that's why everyone constantly passes him the ball when we're getting pressed.
