#16 | Rodri - 2020/21 Performances

I guarantee that if he starts the final, he is the player that Chelsea will target. He has had a good season overall but his speed of thought at times against the very best sides catches him out.

Why was he the only midfield player in the side at the start of the game. We went from a team packed with midfielders, to having only one. When he got pick pocketed the first goal he had no one to pass to.

I thought he was our man of the match today up to that horrendous fuck up.

Agree. He was mostly on his own in midfield. Pep was mad with the front runners for not giving him a forward outlet in the incident and of course once he lost the ball other mistakes happened before the ball went in the net.

Easy target for opposition at times. Pep left him high and dry today to be fair to him.

I agree that Peps line up was a disaster in the making and players should have shown for the pass but he has to do better with that situation.

He was exposed today but I don’t think he’s good enough. When ever he starts I worry. Hoping we replace him in the summer.

Rodri gets a lot of unnecessary criticism, but performances like that are exactly why we need to play Fern in the final

We started the game with 1 midfielder. That won't happen in the final.

He was isolated in midfield ,he had two/three Chelski players around him every time he got the ball and he had no outball to a midfield colleague , really poor selection and tactics by Pep , after 15 minutes you could see he was struggling.

All the moaners out in force today.......if Pep played an equally stupid side with Dias the only defender, Dias would look shite ;)

 

[samarasra]

How the fuck anyone can hang that on rodri, he was a one man midfield, ridiculous team set up, ridiculous penalty, I'm fucking fuming

100%, but the naysayers are out of the traps like March hares already.

He plays for the foul in really dangerous areas. Mistake waiting to happen. Today wasn't his fault as he was on his own but he really does worry me at times.
