Had an absolutely superb game against the Rags and the media can only concentrate on why he doesnt get booked , he's a defensive midfield player who is combative and will get bookings over a season and no doubt at least one suspension , but that doesnt detract he is one of the best in the world in his position. When Mascherano , Busquets , Vieira , Keane , Scholes and others did the same they were considered clever players who broke up opposition play , Dinho is in the same mould but doesnt get the credit he deserves. Watching City over the years we have some hard midfield players , Doyle , Gow , McMahon , Barton , De Jong and a few others but Dinho is archetypal iron fist in a velvet glove and that is the reason he doesnt get booked as often as the others mentioned.
He’s highly unlikely to rack up enough yellows for a ban. He’s only been booked 3 times in 16 comidtetive games this season.
He fouls at less than 2 fouls per game over the last 5 seasons.
The media are desperate to plant this seed, blues shouldn’t be falling for it.
If someone told you Fernandinho scored 20 goals a season you’d question it wouldn’t you?
He averages less than two fouls a game, so don’t be falling for the shit you’re being sold.
Before believing, question what you’re being told.
Hope this doesn’t come across as being arsey, it’s not meant to. It just pisses me off when tired fallacies are believed.
