#16 | Rodri - 2020/21 Performances

[Henri Regnault]

He was excellent tonight, seeing more and more of his well-timed tackles he was celebrated for at Athletico, better still he's tackling the ball forward into space so we can break immediately.

Veyy good today. By far his best game for us that isn't Burnley. Peps changed what he's asking him to do, it's covering his weaknesses well and the team and he himself look much much better for it.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Finally!

That’s what we wanted. It’s taken time, but today he was everywhere.

His tempo is greatly improved and he’s being sensible in his passes.

What a performance.

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

His best game for us by a mile

 

[WallyA]

Something to keep in mind, he is only 24 and always needed time to adapt to us after that first year.

He can EASILY play 10 more years, so happy we got this immense talent.

Anybody who thinks we should have sold him must feel foolish for writing him off so quickly.

MIP, Rodri

 

[MCFCFanTX]

One of his best performances I'd say. He's been immense this year.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Absolute drivel, it’s got nothing to do with the support, more the ability to gain experience, which has been discounted...

Not like you at all but you come across as a right knobhead with that post, patronising and condescending, ‘

Wasn't meant that way

Thought he was brilliant today, not only that but I thought the second half had the feel of the second half of the semi in the fa cup 2011 vs united - a real tussle for power, and rodri was one we seemed able to rely on the most. Loved the bit when he put Mane on his arse when shielding the ball about 65 minutes in, he swept up everything brilliantly. Chuffed to bits

 

[oldius]

He is a great player. I have defended him from the beginning because his strengths mark him out as a genuinely world-class operator with incredible positional sense and an ability to consistently break up opposition attacks and begin our own. No player is complete, absolutely no player, but in a complimentary side, he will deliver in a way that others can only dream of. Any player needs team mates that compliment them so that they can deliver to their best; he is the same.

 

[decmancity]

Superb, seemed to win the ball back all of the time, never fussed under pressure and was pretty much always available as an option. Really top performance.
