v Villa

[Neil Mcnab]

For those that care, Rodri had a statistically great game.

Currently the highest rated player by opta for all top European games today with a score of 247.

Very much an understated performer, me thinking hes not a patch on Fernandinho. Stats tell the difference, happy to accept them. Obviously not getting credit he deserves.

[Swiss]

I think for the start of the season he wasn't performing, and he's not a pacey, which means he can be exposed when the team is stretched.

He's also a player that should score a few more and I must admit, when him and gundog have sat and not ventured forward, we definitely invited too much pressure on ourselves. But with gundog being more dynamic, and with a settled defence, the whole team is clicking well atm.
