4 starts (?) this year, hauled off after 60/65 minutes in two of them for contributing little, got an assist in his 3rd start, unfortunately for Copenhagen. Did okay in the 1st v Palace on Saturday but fairly anonymous in the 2nd half. Needs to do more when starting to make Pep pick him over others. I’m still not convinced about him, very very skilful, obviously, but seems to drift in and out of games.

i think this is overly harsh. 7 starts, played in 22 games, got a goal in the league and CL, an assist or two (admittedly not many minutes over 11 league apps). Seems to be a good 1st season for a young player. I dont think he would have featured that much if Nunes had hit the ground running and Grealish had stayed injury free. I think he's had a commendable season.
 
Been one of our best players every time he`s stepped onto the pitch in my opinion. MOTM for Norway in both games during the last international break, well ahead the likes of Ødegaard and Haaland. With another pre-season and a good run of games I genuinely think this guy is good enough to be a regular starter on the right next season. I think he`s at a very similar (or even higher) level than Palmer was a year ago, who`s now a PL POTY contender as soon as he got regular gametime

It is, but I don’t think he is quite as two-footed as Kev or Phil, which puts them in that category.

Actually think Rodri’s left is a lot better than Phil’s right foot. Foden will have a swing with his right now and then for a shot. Rodri can play 40 yard passes and dinks with his left foot.Shows a genuinely good weak foot to be able to do that.

He’s absolute quality. Showed that in the first half against Palace. 2nd half the ball went down the other side far more, no fault of his he wasn’t in the game more. The lad always wants the ball
 
He's so good. He's got far more bite to him than Foden(who's my favourite player) defensively as well.
 
I always thought Palmer wouldn't make it. Too lazy without the ball, not as good at dribbling. With Lewis I have always had my doubts. I was certain McAtee would never make it with us. But Bobb will, he has it all. Good brain, great dribbling, generous, great at pressing...what a future!!
 
An increased game time will see him sharpen up. Things are just different on a match day compared to the training pitch. He won’t have that consistency due to his age and also his sporadic games but I’m hoping that he’ll be more involved next season.

You know you’ve got a player, when there’s a buzz in the crowd when he comes on. Fantastic player and needs to starting games next season.

Exactly, we all love a bit of Oscar Bob Bob Bob!

Wouldn’t be too surprised to see him start in the FA Cup semi.

Think Pep will rotate his squad on this one, possibly more then people would like.

He’ll definitely rotate but with everyone coming back to fitness he could still put a very strong team out. No way it won’t be starting to enter Pep’s head that win these next 2 games and it’s on again! Which frankly i can’t fucking believe. If the the unthinkable happens again 2 years on the bounce then every debate about greatest ever manager and team in England is completely put to bed. Think the genius would quietly absolutely fucking love that.
 
As long as foden is in the locker room he will be the goal for young players with promise but little game time.

I'd be more than happy to see him start. I've got no doubt he can be trusted in big games and we simply have to rotate. It's one of the few games we can rotate in. We'd have wanted an extra day to prepare and would have preferred Coventry so we could have been more confident in the result, but with the games coming thick and fast it's one we just have to make changes for. But that doesn't mean we can't still win the game. Chelsea have a few injury issues as well.
 
Fantastic and exciting player - probaly makes defences nervous when he comes on. Seeems to do better of the bench than when he starts - hopefully his concetration and energy levels will improve over the entire course of a game. Wish Pep would use him a bit more in games and bring him on a bit earlier - can certainly be a difference maker if space is tight with his lightening fast feet.
