#25 | Fernandinho - 2020/2021 Performances

[Gaz1105]

Has there been a more consistent performer in the glory years, players understandably have off days but I can’t recall a game in his time where I’ve thought he’s been missing or poor. Absolutely worth another year, if only he was as good as Paulinho like Jamie Redknapp said .........

I understand your logic, however don’t agree that Dinho is at ”that” place yet, he shows no signs whatsoever that he couldn’t do another year, ffs he’s practically man of the match every time he plays! I don’t recall too many times, if any, that there have been post match threads about him not being good enough anymore, do you?

Agreed. He's not going to be playing every game, even he realises that, I'm sure. We can prise another season out of him without either party regretting it.

He’s still got the minerals

Give him another year,obviously can’t play every game but still has a lot to offer,absolutely bossed that game yesterday with de bruyne and Rodri,made some telling interceptions as well ..

Best thing as well is that he can regularly do his “Dinho tactical fouling” without fear of picking up a ban as he doesn’t play enough to rack up the cards now, lol.

Sadly he is going as things stand, someone I know who does some external work for the club is already preparing stuff for his end of season departure

Hope not , I think he would be fine for another season

In managed minutes, well spaced out he looks great. But, I can guarantee be you an injury to Rodri and Dihno has to play 2ice a week? We'd quickly find out what playing at 35 looks like.

I think Pep has done a phenomenal job using him in spots, and we've been quite lucky with injuries this season in that position. So managing his minutes has been easy.

I suppose if Rodri picked up an injury, Pep would probably just go with Gundogan and keep Dihno at spot duty.

Personally, I'd rather start grooming his replacement now.
