Fernandinho - 2018/19 Performances

[blueparrot]

Who wasn't suitable/available in the summer who suddenly will be in January? Simply we put all our cdm eggs in one basket and someone pinched that basket.

How would I know, but having 5 months to work on someone is easier than 2 or 3 weeks after we lost Jorginho. I'd be very surprised if no one comes in, in January. Neves and De Jong are 2 names mentioned but there may be others .

My point was that we dropped a bollock rather than anyone not being suitable. Plenty of options out there, depends what Pep wants i guess which judging by Jorginho is a metronomic passer, comfortable under pressure and who is defensively intelligent. He wants a regen of Busquets.

We're in that brilliant position at City where 99% of players want to play for us, "so for the love of God" go out and buy a fcking DM in January, because we fcked up over the summer. And find a way to give fern more rest periods, jeez these things aren't fcking rocket science, I swear to god man.

Has he played every game of the season so far?

I recon Jorginho would have killed us stone dead.

We need someone who can at least do some of what Fernandinho does, so that Fernandinho doesn't have to do it, every single game, if KDB or someone gets injured.

That someone, imo, should be able to run & recover. We can sign another flicky Fancy Dan as well if needed.

Horrendous performance, hopefully he's got that out of his system now we won't see a repeat.

He's struggled to get going this season,i'm not convinced.I'm beginning to think he's suffering burn out.

I really hope not, he's key to what we do.

I think it's a no brainer that he should be rotated with Gundogan to keep him as fresh as possible.

I appreciate that Gundo's typical performance isn't as high a standard as Fernandinho's however the shortfall for the team in general isn't as high as when Gundogan plays in Silva or DeBruyne's role imo.

I'd play Delph or Zinchenko before Gundogan.The two Silva's in front.

Their passing game and their press resistance isn't of a high enough standard. I think Gundogan is actually more press resistant than Fernandinho, where he falls short in that role is recovery pace and aggression.
