I disagree on Rhodes

I think he's a quality player and usually shows it every time he gets sone decent service, which has been very rarely.

Yesterday he was hit up with quite a few long balls and he did well to compete given that he's not a target man. Won a fair few but no one was making runs.

One of the very very few times he had the ball at his feet he played one of the passes of the match from deep to send Pukki through who should have got there before Rudd.

Also, every time we got forward (which was very occasionally) Rhodes was there getting towards the 6 yard box. We had no one doing that last season which makes us a lot harder to defend against now and opens up the space for a cut back to the likes of Pukki
