16 | Rodri 2025/26

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Superb. Hope he’s feeling okay, if Nico G is crocked, we need him for a lot of games.

 

[The Norfolk Blue]

Looked good to me, hope he gets a run of games now.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

In a different stratosphere to Gonzales. Nico has done well but I had forgotten what it was like to watch our number 6 play a forwards pass until Rodri came on.

 

[Jezza11]

Missed you mate x

 

[MCFC1993]

Forgot how good he was, dominated that 2nd half because of him, ridiculous how good he is at keeping possession.

 

[Doc_Testosterone]

He clearly showed he has far superior passing ability than our other midfielders. Only question is whether he can stay fit.

 

[Stelea]

Excellent as he was earlier in the season. We need to get him and Nico Gonzalez playing together to try and start controlling games. We are weak as piss in the midfield.

 

[ShaunMCFC]

Get that lad an ice bath and wrap him in bubble wrap till Sunday

 

[MCFCFanTX]

Missed him. Please stay fit!

 

[Brewster's millions]

Class is permanent and what a thoroughbred he is.

 

[Chak19]

Welcome back Rodders, hopefully it's him and Nico on the pitch Sunday, I don't want to see Silva anywhere near the pitch.

 

[Tyg3r]

The best. He dictates tempo and forces the opposition to defend deep.

 

[WallyA]

Crazy how much better we are with him, his passing range is world class.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Welcome back to the best midfielder on the planet.

 

[Danny Tiatto]

He’s going to win us the league

 

[Blue-Ghana]

A massive gulf in quality between him and Nico. Today showed that Nico offers very little going forward

 

[Manchester_lalala]

I really rate Nico, but an half fit Rodri showed us what we’ve been missing tonight. That’s no criticism of Nico, he’s got his own strengths but Rodri’s quick incisive passing is out of this world.

 

[01cravend]

We were just constantly losing ball around our box/just kicking it straight back to them.

Rodri comes on and suddenly we can play through a press. The confidence alone that he instills in his teammates is just fucking incredible. Everyone pinging it around rather than hoofing. Then we get up pitch and Rodri keeps us there.
What a player..

 

[City_Sean]

He's just absolutely amazing. Comes on and completely runs the game. His use of the ball is incredible. So many great passes between the lines.

Just hope he can stay fit.

Looked like he was playing a different game to everyone else.
