#25 | Fernandinho - 2021/22 Performances

[IrishBlueSince92]

Definitely a position that needs strengthened in the summer

 

[01cravend]

It happens to everyone, he's had an amazing career for us but it's here.

Arguably it's been the end since Pep played him CB.

Defo needs another DM in the summer. Feels like this season there were more and more games that Dinho's age started to show.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Fern worries me far less than some others. He’s basically at the club now to give Rodri a rest when needed. There were others out on the pitch tonight who are supposed to be serious competition for other players in the team and they showed next to nothing.

 

[Shaffer92]

Hes finished. Not sure why they extended his stay. Would be better off giving that midfield spot to levia.

at least we didn't give him the two years he was asking for

 

[rowarta]

biggest risk for rest of the seasons is losing Rodri to a injury.

It’s why Lavia should be getting opportunities tonight we might need to rely on him but knowing pep of we lose Rodri he would play Fernandinho every game Rodri misses.

The other alternatives all bring their own issues. Gündy would be a huge miss further up the field, same with Bernardo. Zinchenko is one of our three fullbacks so would also carry a major risk if we had to play him in midfield. De Bruyne doesn't really have the legs or discipline for it. Lavia has zero experience

Not a great set of options should Rodri miss any decent stretch of games

Gundogan would be by far the best option to replace Rodri. He was excellent in that position when he replaced Ferna in 18/19. Foden could replace Gundogan in CM/AM.

Lavia isn't an option at all. He's nowhere near being ready to play vs PL/CL teams. DM is a very difficult position requiring experience and quality, especially in a Pep team.

Gündy was great there in 18/19, but we had David Silva doing what Gündy is doing now. Foden can't really do that (yet)
