No, they aren't. Rodri's critics were pretty clueless from the beginning. They couldn't see his potential and thought he would never be good enough, even after we won 21 games in a row with him starting most of those games! Pep dropped him in the CL final because he lost form (due to being overused by Pep himself), not because he was abysmal over the season. Rodri was mostly excellent in 20/21 bar the last few weeks of the season. Same with Cancelo. The CL starting XI wasn't a verdict on the quality of the players on the bench, just on their form at that moment. In 21/22, Rodri, Cancelo and Laporte played the most minutes and were among our most reliable players.

Rodri will be going nowhere unless the lad himself requests it.
Barca can offer whatever,it will make no impact on the above.
I genuinely don't currently see another player that can play our system as well as him.

A calf complaint says Pep and too severe to risk today incurred in the last training session.Is he injured?
Hopefully short term maybe 2-3 matches not sure though.

To win that game in that manner, without Rodri was even more impressive.
What an squad we have.

I would wager that if Rodri had played on Sunday United likely wouldn’t have scored 3. Perhaps 1.
He is so good at keeping up our energy, regardless of the score.

Yeah I thought he was superb until he ran out of steam in the last 20 minutes. Lovely assist for MahrezSouthampton really tried to do a number on him today. He handled himself really well.

I don’t know how to describe him, but he’s just stays in the centre area, shields the ball away from a player pressing him and lays it off to a player in space. The amount of times he does that is staggering. Normally you get Bernardo running circles around him, it’s great to watch. Them two have so much chemistry in the middle of the park.
