After signing for £62.8 million last summer, showing huge promise for Atletico Madrid as an extraordinary passing midfielder and potential heir to Fernandinho, some Manchester City supporters were unimpressed with his performance in their 1-1 draw at home to Shakhtar Donetsk. 

Ilkay Gundogan finally opened the scoring for City with his bundled effort before Israeli international Manor Solomon equalised following a stunning move - with Rodrigo then making way for Phil Foden after seemingly having minimal impact going forward.

Despite what you could consider to be a sub-par performance, the Spaniard has still made a fine start to life at Eastlands since his mega move - fulfilling that label of 'the ultimate passing midfielder' which suits Pep Guardiola's philosophy to a tee.

So far, the 23-year-old has amassed an incredible 92% pass success rate in the league and has an even better percentage of 94.5% in Europe, as per WhoScored.com - highlighting his wizardry when it comes to distribution.

However, some sceptics argue that he isn't energetic or robust enough to fully take the mantel from Fernandinho as City's midfield anchor - with some shining the light on his Shakhtar performance as proof.

Here's what supporters had to say on Twitter.
