I think he's had a decent season and there's a lot of potential still.
He's one of those players who rarely be MOTM but he keeps the ball ticking over, never loses control or makes a bad pass. He's always available for the ball and links up the play. He can make interceptions when needed and gives us height on set pieces. Can't fault the guy if our corners are useless though.
If course he's not quick, but come on where will you find 6 foot 4 speed merchants who tackle like Fernandinho and pass like Silva?? Play him with mobile players and he will be a very good player.
Overall a B from me and I do feel next year he will kick on and dare I say it could be a future captain?
It’s thoroughly depressing. He’s an incredible young player getting up to speed in a difficult position.I have to say, some of the posts on this thread, and across the whole forum after the Lyon game, stink of rag-like arrogance and smacked arse syndrome. Players not given a season to settle. Everyone who isn't deemed good enough for us is mediocre or shit.
Since when did we give a fuck about a record signing? Are people seriously expecting even more from Rodri just because he cost 3 million more than Mahrez? It's such a non-factor.
People falling over themselves to point out how they were the first to call a player shit. Embarrassing, attention seeking rubbish.

Youre doing a disservice to De Jong and in particular Barry but see similarities to Fernando and Garcia.He’s no better than Barry, Javi Garcia, Fernando & De Jong for me. He’ll never cut it here as he’s not mobile enough and too cumbersome. To think he cost more than what we sold Sane for. I was genuinely surprised how poor he looked the first time I saw him. Granted he’s got some boots to fill but very limited compared to Fernandinho.

He’s a young player in his first season in the Premier League in a difficult position. I have no doubt he will be a fantastic signing.
Will people ever learn to give players time? Do you remember how off the pace Fabinho looked in his first few months?
how much did we pay for Rodri?
As some have said, similar to Javi Garcia and Fernando, but I would state a wee bit better. His role is to protect our back 4. Has he done this game in game out? I would say hes tried. But the blame is the tinkering of defenders rather than him not doing his job. He's tried. Our back 4 has been terrible and hes been exposed.
