Fernandinho - 2017/18 Performances

[quiet_riot]

Dont be too hasty pal,you still have your wit and good looks.

LOL

Poor but we need quality to replace him. Having Yaya who can't run is forcing us to play him every game.

 

[super_city_si]

That's his first real poor game in god knows how long. Shame it had to come at that place. Hopefully, wipes it from memory and continues as normal next week

 

[Dax777]

Unusually for Dinho a lot if misplaced passes that enabled the Dippers to put us under pressure , seen a few defensive midfielders play into their mid thirties but my guess is Pep already has a replacement lined up , maybe a couple of games on the sidelines will recharge the batteries , he can't be written because of one bad game , and he's plenty good enough to get us through this season

It's not that unusual to be fair. You can check my analysis of his game. He is not very comfortable in the press with his back to the opposition.

It just cost us this time. But it happens more often than not when he is pressed.

Absolutely class player, so underrated but like Sterling, is always shite at Anfield. He doesn't demand the ball when it's not going well, unlike Yaya for example, who wants the ball all the time. That's why he doesn't start for Brazil despite his obvious talent. Needs to stand up and be counted more when the going gets tough.

I’m glad I’m not your kid. Ferna has been 8.5/10 consistently this season, his best ever. He was OVER RUN today,, because we kept getting our pocket picked going forward (Gundogan main culprit) and they were immediately on the counter as we scrambled to transition.

He is not a machine, he only plays like he is for 35/38 games per season. His blind pass was a bad mistake. I have a feeling he already knows this.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Yep,he had a shocker.

I'm hoping it was just that,but he looked every inch a man approaching 33 out there today.

[becomes depressed as he will be watching City v Basel from SS3 on his 34th birthday]

I agree that he's been class for the majority of this season, but that doesn't mean there weren't countless times today when he could have received possession and didn't want the ball. He was the same in the 3-2 against Liverpool in the 13/14 season (probably his worst ever game for us) and there were glimpses of it in the second half of the 1-0 win against Newcastle. He needs to take a leaf out of Yaya's book and demand the ball.

I disagree.

I think there’s a fine line between Fernandinho being his usual self and being rubbish, it’s simply the fact that he was completely over run by the lack of outball to silva and gundogans unfortunate performance.

 

[Sir peace frog]

I don't think we can say such and such was poor, imo in the 2nd half we started bossing the game until 3 brain farts by 3 very dependable players for us this season ,we were by no means at the top of our game ,think a bit of tiredness has creeped into our play ,however a nice week between games should reenergise us.

 

[Deleted member 81382]

He's got 5 days to rest and recover. He will be back to his best against Newcastle.

 

[kaz7]

doesn't really click with gundy,at 2-1 if we had put dave on we wouldn't have lost control

Again, this is that trick of blaming others for a liked player being poor. Gundogan had nothing to do with Fernandihno's loose passes. I've severally pointed out this very weakness in his game.

With or without Gundogan, and regardless of how well he is playing, Fernandihno is generally not very comfortable under the press. Especially when his back is to the opposition.

 

[Charlie Chuck]

I shuddered when he went down. If Fernandinho gets injured we'll not be anywhere near as efficient without him. Delph is only one anywhere near to deputise, but he can't do that when he's out injured.

Get Fred.

Another controversial opinion here. But I think Gundogan would actually fill in comfortably. And I suspect the team would be better if he does.

 

[Neville Kneville]

Took pretty much all the aerial pressure off the cbs, allowing them to take up a completely different position to the one they would need if he wan't there.

 

[uwe rosler 28]

Am I right in thinking diniho is 2 bookings away from a 2 game ban?

Yes. He managed it quite well the last time when he had 4, so here's hope he can do with only 1 yellow up until April or so... Or win all the games in the league until he gets those two extra yellows to give us some comfort. :)

I'm worried he'll be banned for 2/3 games against arsenal and Chelsea
