Collosal. Hes so much more than just a 6, but sacrifices himself for the team just as fernandinho did.

Kovacic in there allows him much more freedom to get involved and when he's going forward hes reminiscent of Yaya without the pace.
 
Immense today. Helped with suffocating them in the second half.

He’s got a proper mentality on him too, seems to take offence if we’re not winning and does everything he can to put that right. Not just doing his main role but everything else too.

Best in the world at what he does.
 
Absolute masterclass from Rodri today. Press resistant. Made a number of passes that cut through Newcastle lines to find our AMs. Looked dangerous every time he carried the ball into the box. Unlucky not to get a goal today — took a great save from Dubravka.

Today’s game was another proof point that Rodri is levels above other box to box CMs like Guimarães and Rice whom the press love to talk up.
 
Hats off to him for calming down at HT after being shafted by the useless ref and coming out with a no nonsense imperious 2nd half, topped by his pass to Kev for the 2-2. Just wow.
 
Another booking today.
We are going to miss him when he gets the 2 match ban for getting to 10 yellows
 
Rodri is 50 games unbeaten, yet we've lost all 4 domestic games he's not played. I thought it was unjust him getting a yellow for his first foul today. He's on 8 yellows and will receive a 2 match ban when he gets 10 yellows.

We will have to manage his missing games carefully, atm we have no adequate replacement against the biggest teams.
