He's not an athlete but he's a better footballer than Fernandinho

Well done prof

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.

You'd rather clash with Ferna than with Rodri. Ask Shaw.

Looking much fitter and quicker in thought and action,its working a treat.

Becoming the player we hoped for.

Imperious today but had a lot of space and time.

 

[Gumzy97]

He wins everything, even when it looks like he's miscontrolled the ball, he still gets a pass off.

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.

Immense. Ran the game.

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.
