Rodri can be better than prime Fernandinho. Fernandinho is a proper legend of the club, incredible person and player. He deserves all the love he gets. But he couldn't take and move the ball like Rodri did today or at Chelsea. Rodry's a deep-lying playmaker and a destroyer in one. Top quality.

Pep should use him more carefully this season. Last season he was arguably over played and lost form in the final 5-6 weeks.

It's always worth noting how young Rodri is compared to prime Fernandinho. If he improves his game as much as Fernandinho did in his later years then the sky is the limit.
 
Looking much fitter and quicker in thought and action,its working a treat.

Becoming the player we hoped for.
 
Not really my motm mostly because it was rather plain and easy. But very good nonetheless. Think he improved second half, Pep was absolutely laying into him for not upping his distribution by picking diagonals to wingers high and wide. He did that and we started creating again.
 
His only downside sometimes is playing a safe pass or taking too long to release the ball. I think it's easy to sort it, not too difficult but happens with experience and time. He's already a miles better player than when he joined.
 
Brilliant. Didn't have Bernardo holding his hand today after being pushed further forward and you wouldn't have known it. With the back 4, completely shut down any hint of a break from them.

Not as good as against Burnley, though! Haha, just having a banter :)

At the risk of poking that particular snake pit again, United played very similarly to Burnley (and Chelsea) long balls in to Ronaldo with 2 off him, Rodri's dream game.

We forced them and Chelsea to play so, partly due to Rodri's brilliance at destroying attacks and passing the ball. To force Chelsea and United to play like Burnley at their own ground is a praise enough. Liverpool didn't look much better in the 1st half at their ground either, but we missed several chances to make our dominance count.
