16 | Rodri - 2022/23 Performances

[21MCFC21]

I know you haved banged the Lavia drum for a while, just a shame we couldn't have kept him the kid looks the real deal.

Thankfully we still have that buyback clause

 

[jollylescott]

He didn’t rate a mention in the match thread, but his close control and excellent passing kept us ticking all game. There’s not a better DM going around.

 

[DTKOAG]

Should give him the player of the season now

 

[oldius]

He was utterly immense today, totally dominant.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Looked great,dominant and strong.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

All the bullshit around Casimeiro and we have the best DM in europe quietly going about his business and under the radar , he hardly puts a foot wrong and controls the middle of the park , vital we keep him fit or the rest of the season.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Surprised he is not getting more praise but I suppose his role and work often get overlooked.

He was a vacuum, a rampart, and a metronome.

Arguably our most important player.

 

[lightning Rodri]

Arguably our most important player.

Genuinely interested to know the argument there. He's only one player we cannot afford to not play, everyone else is replaceable by another player or system.

What argument are you looking for exactly?

People never know how important his is unless he's not on the pitch.

 

[Deleted member 77198]

Superb performance. My MOTM today.

He was just the boss in the middle of the pitch today. Bossed the game, made their entire midfield look a level below him.

Best midfielder around in any league. Top class!

Player of the Season

 

[skillman]

Strangely thought he was quiet today but not in a bad way. Did his usual cleaning up and brilliant under pressure but the fact we looked for vertical passing between the lines meant he didn’t see as much of it.

Which I’m fine with as long as he’s there to mop up.

 

[walker_is_faster]

He absolutely dominated midfield they couldn't take ball of him,watching it looked couple of time he will lose ball but he retain it.Amazing performance.

 

[lightning Rodri]

I guess I didn't phrase that right.

"Arguably our most important player."
I was trying to say, there's no argument there, he's the most important player right now.

 

[toffee balls]

I was sat with a Mackem and an Aberdonian at the game yesterday.
They couldn’t believe just how good he is.

 

[Saddleworth2]

I thought he was particularly good yesterday as particularly in the first half he was having to help our back 4 move the ball forward. Newcastle were marking him and blocking passing lanes and he was still immense.

 

[CatMan]

This fella is the epitome of professionalism. There are few left in the image/money driven modern game. No bells or whistles, just complete composure and focus, in every game he plays. Ake, with perhaps Diaz and Bernardo are of similar mindset, but nobody even comes close to this chap.

He’s really been great for us especially as he had so many people in his back the first season and a half. Good job we sold Plodri. Anyone know who bought him?
But, with a glass half empty just like Kev he will end up being overplayed and worn out. Looks like he will have to play 3 intense games next week as not sure Prp will trust Phillips even against Burnley but hope he does.

 

[Goater=Legend]

He was a monster today, breaking up their attack and driving forward, looked lile Yaya out there.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Per usual, very, very good today. At points the only player trying to push us forward.
