Fernandinho - 2018/19 Performances

[kaz7]

Can't even be upset at his performances, it was inevitable. He turns 34 next year & is fresh off another World Cup disappointment. His levels were bound to drop.

Txiki simply should've sealed the Jorginho deal instead of haggling like an idiot. He walks into our team.

Did you not follow the transfer? we can't make a player come here

No chance he'll be rested against Cardiff. Gundo could play in his position but he's too soft in a deep lying role against teams like Cardiff that tries to bully opposition's more talented players. Unless Pep plays Zinchenko at LB and Delph slots into DM role.

He definitely needs resting for Oxford. It’s time to put the LC on the back burner now. Play the kids and anyone who needs some time. Leave Fernandinho at home with his feet up.

 

[Delphinho]

Should play Gundogan at DM and Merlin and Bernardo in front of him against the dippers IMO. Don`t think Dinho can deal with their high press

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Very, very worrying. He looks like his legs are shot and his confidence with them, and Pep is running him into the ground.

It's October. Gonna take some doing to get him to January.

Very poor,he simply isn't the force he was.If Delph is fit,i'd play him against the Dippers.

Gundogan is such an enigma as a player though. I don’t see that working. Fernandinho is dallying on the ball too much now though. Liverpool will target him. I think attack is our best form of defence in this one.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Doesn't help that he's the only midfielder defending when Gundogan and Silva still around the 18 yard box

 

[Edwin Edwin]

Simply,an accident waiting to happen or already happening against any side with attacking ambitions..Not rocket science to figure out why he is like this and how as a club we are in this situation.
Should stop over reacting though as he is a centurion and was amazing last season!1!1!

 

[Afterthefact]

Just think he needs a speedier friend nearby (like foden) to give him options or to have gotten in better position to have gotten the ball instead in the first place (aka, kev obv when he’s back). The biggest problem isn’t his defensive work, it’s his strangely slow decision-making on the ball...but I think he’s in that spot more now because of kdb’s general absence.
