Fernando has turned it around

[thereWasATime]

Wow what performances has been from him. Three times in a week, massive cover for our back four.

 

[Brad mcfc]

He was outstanding today and was definitely missed when he was subbed off

Agree. A rock but I still feel he would suffer in a midfield two, but possibly among the best defensive midfielders in the league right now.

 

[kupest]

Its all about putting the other Fern on the right. That tweak and whatever came with it has changed us defensively and Fernando a lot ! Great game

 

[Thenumber1blue]

Had a great game,shame he didn't grab the winner when Mignolet saved.

 

[taleofbluehalves]

Thought he was excellent today.

 

[kismet]

He is now playing as he can. A very good player who naturally has had to adjust to a new league.

 

[kaz7]

He is always good when played correctly in a 3 not a 2
Well done kid

 

[mcfc_ms]

Seems to bring the best out of yaya and Fernandinho too

Keep it up. Always wanted these to be in a 3 man midfield.

 

[itisrising]

What a performance. Was a brick wall and his work on the ball is surprisingly pretty good.

 

[SamTheGuru]

I couldn't agree more.

 

[Clercqs]

Agree. He was outstanding today as he was against Kiev. So happy for him.

 

[Sergio Picasso Aguero]

Fernando - Fernandinho - Toure is the perfect midfield 3, hope we play it for the remainder of the season.

 

[BlueTG]

Excellent, we missed him when he went off!

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Now playing in the 3 he's most comfortable with..

Been excellent

 

[decmancity]

Shock.

Play a player in a formation that he was bought for and he plays well.

Honestly, we did the same with Javi Garcia. Shoe horned him into a team that didn't fit. I am not saying that we build a team around Fernando but we need to stop buying players that are comfortable and suit one formation and never bloody using it!

 

[jay_mcfc]

Pellegrini will be getting a lot of praise tonight, so it's perhaps not the time for this. But all season we have been crying out to get Fern, Fern and Yaya in the same team regularly and now we are seeing the benefits of it. Let's hope they'll all recover in time to play on Wednesday.

Senor Pelegrini, take a bow. You've earned it.

 

[Scouse Blue]

Also very calm and considered with his passing when under pressure. Something I have never really appreciated/noticed before.

 

[Neville Kneville]

Fantastic with an extra pair of legs, useless without. Yaya same.

Not rocket science.
