Much harder to create than destroy, so defenders will always score lower for me. Struijk is much better bring the ball out and in front of goal, while being as good a defender and doing a really good job as captain, sees him out ahead of Rodon..
Rodon also brings the ball out of his defence, often threading accurate passes through the middle of the park to the likes of Ampadu, Kamara & Rutter. Joe has pace to burn & probably reads the game better than any other player in our line-up.
I'm not decrying Pascal as he has built up a great partnership with Joe, they seem to compliment each other & he went further up my estimation when he took responsibility a good captain should do by taking the penalty at Blackburn, but if it comes to either Rodon or Struijk playing alongside Cooper due to an injury, Joe wins every time for me!

Well as Struijk is left footed it's an unfair comparison ... We know Struijk and Coop can't play together. Struijk is the more complete player for me, one of the best passers at the club

All depends on which player your'e watching sometines, or which game, as we know, some watch a different match altogether, just opinions.
Strikers always take the accolades, but if people watch the whole game, especially how we lake, you'll see most of our moves start from Rodon, Struijk or Ampadu.

Again depends what you mean by start, a simple pass out is not starting a move for me... For me it's much easier to head the ball out anywhere or get a block in than it is to create chances at the other end. Tackling is a skill but Rodon averages 1 tackle a game according to the stats.

Please don't rely on stats
They mean notning, goals & points mean so much more.
