To me it was always pretty obvious he would get better with time. He is being coached in a position by a man who is in the books as one of the best to play the position. Never mind his early years being coached by Simeone.

Positioning, game understanding and off the ball movements get better with time.

He was only at Atlético Madrid for a year.

Did Simeone coach the youth team?

No, he didn't coach the youth team.
However, I am sure like Lavia and Palmer around the first team for us, you might have seen Rodri in some training sessions.

In any case, he spent a whole season with Simeone in the first team and you don't think Simeone taught him anything in that 12mths?

Imagine being that pedantic...

Lol. Imagine being that stubborn.

He was released in 2013 for being not physically strong enough and didn't feature for Villareal B team in 2015. It's unlikely he ever trained with the first XI in the circumstances you have highlighted above.

What you wrote was inaccurate, it's not a question of being pedantic it's just wrong.

I said he spent early years with Simeone, he was 21/22 when he was playing for Simeone. How young do you want him to be?
You think Simeone had zero impact on Rodri's development, it didnt end up with us handing over 60m or anything after barely a full season.

I can't even understand why you picked that out of my post, what is your point here?

Because early years implies more than one. I'm not sure why you are struggling with this.

It’s not a personal failing to make a phrasing error on an Internet forum, I honestly didn't expect as much back and forth.

In my mind it was 50/50 whether you already knew he was only there a year.

Calling someone out over a simple "phrasing error" when we are discussing how long he was Atletico is being pedantic, no?

My point was more he had spend time with Simeone. We all know it was at least one full season and he made great strides in that time because thats why we handed over 60m.

He wasn't particularly on our radar when he was at Villareal I don't think.

Anyway...

Get a room you pair of flirts.
 
Looked a bit slow at times but worked very hard and made a lot of things happen.

Decent game - shame that those chances fell to him and not one of the zillions of left footers we have.

First shot was a belter, just right at the keeper, but I know what you mean for the second one he scooped over!

Not a good day when your DM has the two best chances on goal!

I suspect he could chip in with a few goals in the future, it's just that there's so much pressure on scoring at the moment all the guys you'd expect to score <10 a season like Benrardo, Cancelo, Rodri, the CBs are snatching at their chances.

Once the goals start flowing again, the pressure comes off and those shots start going in.
 
Playing well this season looks more mobile and his decision making has improved. He needed abit of help and Bernardo is providing it in spades.

Fingers crossed!
 
Both goals certainly not just his fault as was already errors leading upto them by other players but He could of stopped both .. no attempt at sticking a foot out or sliding to stop zaha effort which would of easily blocked the shot and for the second goal he literally walks back and makes no attempt whatsoever to follow Gallagher who just runs right past him to score the goal
