Elano Off - Fernandes on?

[Anonymous]

Let me have a little guess............................

Elano fucking knackered maybe.

There you go, not really very hard if you have a little think before posting.

Fresh as a daisy according to some mate. I can't say as I haven't been able to watch the game.

Fresh as a daisy according to those that didnt agree with the substitution...

;)

P.S. He was fucked.

Cheers :-)

as with Thursday he was utterly knackered but still the best player on the pitch.

I dont have an issue with him bringing him off but bringing Fernandes on is clueless at best. We already had two DM's on in De Jong and Kompany and didnt need a third. What we needed was someone to be able to make inroads against them and hold the ball up when necessary. As such Petrov should have been brought on then and Robinho pushed forward to partner Studge in a more central role.

If you were one of the numb nuts booing the decision to take elano off for a defensive midfielder against west brom you really need to sit down and have a word with yourself. Its the same substitution any one of the top 4 managers would have made. Winning at home, your light weight play maker is run into the ground, West Brom are throwing everything at us, its absolutely 100% the right substitution. I heard a few sat around me say Petrov should have been the replacement... seroiusly?... Petrov (even though I admire his wing play) is an sulking luxury... he hardly ever tracks back... what we needed was a bit of steel in midfield. Granted I'd rather have seen Mascherano come on instead, but Fernandez is what Hughes has got to work with this season isn't he?

100% right decision. End of.
