He is just a top player. We dominated the midfield and he was an integral part of that.

Agree, 2 of their midfield should have been sent off. We broke the lines time and time again and they didn’t have any answer.

We didn't dominate midfield... This game wasn't played in midfield. Our Cbs were the fulcrum of our forward play.

Okay.

[ninjamonkey]

Very good today after a few sloppy games. Had the edge back to his passing. The way the game was played, with the midfielders finding themselves everywhere but midfield very often does not lend well to his stronger qualities and can highlight his lack of mobility but he handled is excellently. Needs to maintain that level now.

Okay.

I mean he's right. Midfield was vacated for large periods of the game, intentionally I must add. all their threat is from the wings, they leave the midfield open and so our midfielders had to go with them, there was no midfield battle to dominate.

He did a really good job of keeping our tempo in check. Which is vital in how we keep control.

The midfield may have been positioned differently to normal, and both teams tried to bypass it when attacking, but Rodri was an integral part of the game and played well. In addition, Thiago definitely should have gone and Fabinho definitely could have, and that was primarily because they could not deal with our midfield movement.

Because of his role in the team I don’t think he’ll ever get the recognition he deserves, but we are extremely lucky to have him and I hope he spends the rest of his career with us, winning everything there is to be won.

I think most people recognise his contribution and, fortunately, Pep clearly does.
