#16 | Rodri - 2020/21 Performances

I’m sure he’s a lovely bloke.,

Compared to some, maybe.

He is overrated by many on here I would say. Someone commented recently how players in his role can look like they’ve had bad games against the better teams because they’re bound to get caught in possession more, but they can also look better against the poorer teams which has led to people thinking he’s better than he is. It’s probably dawned on him that the reason he’s played most games isn’t because he’s better than Fernandinho. Certainly looks short of confidence atm and can’t see him in the starting lineup for the final. Decent, but not the kind of player you need to spend £60m on.

Does he fuck. Nowhere near the player Fernandinho is.

Does he fuck. Nowhere near the player Fernandinho is.

Dinho will be off in 20 minutes with Lahoz in charge.

It was an unfortunate pass to Trossard but what frustrated me most was he just stood still watching afterwards. He could have tried to get back and make amends. Trossard took so long to shoot it could have made a difference? Bad day at the office.

Unfortunate? It was a blind backpass, that's just incompetence but you're right about him standing there and doing nowt after the event. He concedes possession too often for a player whose primary job is to protect the back line - Fernandinho should be starting in the Final, at the very least alongside Rodri but preferably instead of him.

Rodri starts against Chelsea in the CL Final.

Doubt. Especially after the performance Dinho put in against PSG in the second leg.

If Pep starts him, he's signing his own death wish.

There have been many games earlier this year when he has helped us win - during the run that effectively won us the league he was outstanding. I guess after playing so much for the last year it may have caught up to him a bit. He is probably a little fatigued more mentally than anything. He has played more games than most. I'm sure that he will play, as others will, at a different level in Porto. He has been poor for a couple of games but don't forget those contributions from when we were 8 points behind to being way ahead.

Pep will use him and Ferna in the best way to help win the match and I will be right behind either or both when we beat the Chavs.

Might actually be an important point. Rodri will have played a lot under Lahoz and Spanish refs like him.

2 pretty big mistakes in 2 games. i'll be honest, dont think he should start the final
