That’s what I thought albeit from a pitch side level at the ground. Moura running away from him a few times meant little to me as only Walker in our squad could stop him. Thought his tackling was brilliant as was his one and two touch play.

I don't understand why many complain about him !
He was not responsible for us failing to score 1 goal.

That matches my memory of his first half, think he tired a bit in the second which was understandable. He's still better than Rodri though I would have started both to give us a bit more cover with Mendy stinking the place out again.

Had a solid game IMO.
The vulnerability to counters is not the sole responsibility of Fern or of Rodri. The latter is regularly nailed as soon as we lose and it is sad to see Fern now suffering the same fate because we were beaten by a fast counter-attacking unit who defended deep. If we have an Achilles heel, it is that, and that is why the absence of Phil, KDB, and Kyle hurt a lot: they have the athleticism to help cope with counters and by pressing aggressively and stopping outballs beyond our central midfield. As it is, we gave the ball away several times because of a lack of sharpness and they capitalised. Had we put away our early chances, this would not have been an issue. A tough opening fixture for us, a few weeks too early but neither Rodri nor Fern are the sole reasons for occasional defeats like this: give the ball away when we have it and we are pushed right upfield and we will concede chances.

Zin stays at left back, I don’t ever want to have the pleasure of seeing Mendy in a City shirt again.The only reason Fern is getting any shit is because Rodri has not stepped up to a world class dm. I would give Zin a chance at dm. He has learned his defensive duties at lb and can pass and hold up the ball.

haven't seen us exposed in counters like that for a long time
Champions League final Vs Chelsea a couple of months ago. It's not really been an uncommon theme under Pep.
