Fernandinho - 2017/18 Performances

Ederson will be the number 1 going into the World Cup!!

I'd hope so, but Allison hasn't done anything to merit being dropped, and like I said Tite doesn't mix things up.

As I was told in another thread, Tite doesn't tend to mix things up with his teams and goes for players he knows best. Given how they're playing it'd be brave for him to change things up now. It's for the same reason Ederson is unlikely to make the first team.

I thought he played their last game?

It was a dead rubber tbf, he just wanted to give him a go as he deserved a game.

You can't ignore his stats, it would be insane to, however tite has been dropping hints to the change since the beginning of the season!!

Well he is in the first team then isn't he

Not the real starting XI though.

Look I want to be proven wrong here I really do. Same with Fernandinho

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

I had it in for Ferny a bit last year. Poor form, played all over the place and I thought he looked finished with us.

I was so very fucking wrong.

I am happy to gorge myself on a huge slab of humble pie.

Only question worth asking now is, where will we find another like him.

Fernandinho has agreed terms with Manchester City over a new one-year deal and will sign imminently. [Sunday Mirror]

Pep: "Right now Fernandinho is one of the best, best, best three holding midfield players. With his mentality he gives us a lot."

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Tremendous news and a contract extension he thoroughly deserves.

But Jorginho was not called to the nt.
In Brazil 4-1-4-1 Fernandinho is bench and Casemiro starter.
Tbf the game that Fernandinho started instead of Casemiro against Argentina, Brazil won 3-0 and was the best performance of the nt in years.

He will certainly be hoping to oust Casemiro over the next few months
