How would you assess Rodri's season?

[cleavers]

Mixed is my review, he's had some very good games, and a number of mediocre games, something I'd expect of a player new to the PL.

Has too much of the Javi Garcia about him for me, tall, slow but a better footballer for sure. I don’t think he’d boss a midfield and do the Fernandinho role

C+ plenty of room for improvement.

Any new player needs at least 12 months to settle in, I've seen enough of him though to see there's a great solid player in there waiting to come out.

One of our better players this season along with Sterling and Silva.Immense recently against the micky mousers and Madrid so can do it in the big big games.

 

[samarasra]

Very promising.

Give him another season. Hasn't been our worst defender.

Just seen this on reddit about ball progressions per player:



Rodri comes in at number 11 in Europe, ahead of Kevin in 16th and Jordan Henderson at number 78.

This is why he is in the team, he isnt going to be chasing opposition players back as well as Fernaninho does because he has a different role.

I think if you dont like the role it is unfair to slate Rodri as he perfoms well in it.

Underwhelming, but I didn't expect anything more in his first season. If he's no better next year then we may have a problem.

 

[Silva2021]

Definitely room for improvement, however sometimes he did just muscle opponents of the ball, moved the ball effortlessly and dominated the midfield.

A Kante at his best can cover the ground 2 players can in the pivot and TBH, I would like that kind of player.

However it can be balanced with the attacking 2 have more legs and helping back.

Next season we need the midfield 3 to click again, like it did in the centurion season.
