#16 | Rodri - 2020/21 Performances

[kun]

I suspect it will take fans of other teams a while to cotton on to just how good he is, but we get to watch him every week. So, so good

It took them until he was 32/33 before they realised how good Fernandinho was.

He is everything that a modern day midfielder shouldn't be, shite

This guy is such a liability. I hardly post here but he offers nothing. Looked good the last couple of games when dhino was next to him doing his job. As soon as he came off today we looked like we did last year. Too often let’s players simply walk past him, and offers no pressure to the opposition in attacking plays!

Don't know what he does other than a 5 yard pass here and there. He's a liability.

I know the question was to someone else but my two penneth...he is no worse. They are both snails and neither of them can block off passing lanes, or make a tackle. I think Gundogan is a slightly more progressive passer at 6 but that is no great achievement over Rodri. I have not seen anything from Rodri since we signed him, which makes me think he was a good signing.

I rarely quote old posts but I was compelled to have a look back to the start of this thread.

In fairness I hold my hands up, I said the other week I'll never judge another player as harshly in their first 12-18months under Pep.

On the pitch I was struggling to see what he did but he was obviously doing something right along with training well because he's been brilliant this season.

He has improved though, ball retention is a lot better, defence behind him is a lot better and he's coming forward with the ball a lot more. That first year was obviously important in hindsight for developing him as a player.

Missing out on Jorginho is looking luckier and luckier by the game.

He's started to drive forward more with the ball I've noticed.

Took them till he went to Everton to give a 57 year old Barry any credit.

 

[mdj0520]

He's mastered coming back into our half and nipping the ball from behind the opposition when they are transitioning.

 

[Dax777]

I saw him chase down Brazilian do and Nick the ball off him. So much for being a standing post....


Anyway, can someone point me to the next thread. Coz the flapping here is about done.


3 down, many more to go :)

Dax777 and WallyA still don't know

If you look around 30 pages back, you’ll probably find a post from me saying WANK. Sorry Rodders, you’ve been class for this stretch of games. He still hasn’t completely won me over, I want to see this consistency continue, which I think it will.
