Fernandinho - 2018/19 Performances

[Thomas Hearns]

He’s started all 7 league games and played the full 90 in 6 of them, it’s ridiculous. Why did he play 90 minutes at the weekend for example?

I’ve been saying the same thing most of this season. Inexplicable

That's literally not possible given the information the poster is relaying.

Needs a rest, him and Gundogan don't work together and it leaves both open to flack from the fans, more so Gundogan than Ferny.

This is absolutely true.
They cant play together, the lack mobility and speed.

One or the other.

At least he'll get a rest during the international break, but Pep needs to be managing him more. I don't think he needed to play on Saturday, he looks shattered.

I think they're going to play Fernandinho as much as possible until January and then get a defensive midfielder in.

IMO Instead of thinking "We've got to make him last a whole season, only play him once a week", instead they're just thinking he's got a 4 month season, and then come January when another player comes in, he can just take a month off and recover from it, recharge before the business end of March/April/May when he'll be vital again.

A less extreme version, they might just be doing the same kind of thing but only until KDB comes back, and once KDB is back he'll get rested and Gundogan/Delph will pop into midfield.



Another thing that is worth remembering is they track everything about the players, from distance covered in games, number of sprints, sprint speeds, heart rate in training, cortisol levels in saliva...if they aren't resting him it might just be because all of the tests are showing he's 100% fit to play, and when his performance metrics drop, then he'll get a break.

Are you expecting the same for Sane?
