#25 | Fernandinho - 2021/22 Performances

[hilts]

Guy is a legend that is all.

 

[Gabriel]

We can’t play with Fern at the back next week, it’s just asking for trouble.

Cancelo Mbete Laporte Ake

That defence at least gives me some sort of confidence.

If Ake couldn’t play today, I suspect he won’t feature next week either.

If Ake couldn’t play today, I suspect he won’t feature next week either.

A week is a good amount of recovery time, he played some minutes against Wolves and he didn’t look unfit .

He should only play final minutes next week if we’re comfortably winning.

If anything, to protect his legacy.

Cancelo Mbete Laporte Ake

That defence at least gives me some sort of confidence.

Would rather Egan-Riley, a lot more composed than Mbete. Mbete is the unit though. I just trust the former with the ball at his feet a lot more.

A week is a good amount of recovery time, he played some minutes against Wolves and he didn’t look unfit .

Managed 30 minutes but that begs the question why he didn’t feature at all today. Fernandinho looked as if he was struggling from the off, and Zinchenko can be preyed upon by teams with a height advantage. Hope you’re right and that he’s available next week.

Time to be put out to grass. Been great. But not anymore. A complete liability.

 

[B\connellblue]

Sadly you can't beat the clock.
Ake has a week to recover hopefully he makes it

 

[samarasra]

Blimey, that was a hard watch. I admire him for putting his body on the line time and time again, but the club should be asking questions about how it has come to this.

Yet many posters thought we had no need to have 4 CB's earlier in the season, so what questions should the club be asking ? Why didn't we spend £100 million on 2 more experienced CB, just in case the 4 we have all are unfit at once ? Not a practical question.

 

[samarasra]

Exactly, also they’ve got young centre backs on the bench for who it is their natural position. I understand they’re inexperienced but if you don’t trust the don’t put them on the bench

They actually get experience being on the bench, not as much as playing obviously but we fill the bench to cover as many eventualities as possible even if only 3 get on. We have had senior players on the bench recently who have been nowhere near match fit, but we don't have to boost our opponents by sticking them in the V.I.P lounge.
