That I don't think he deserved Motm? If I was giving ratings to our players, Id have rated Raheem, Mahrez, David, John, Zee and Bernado higher.Astounded at this.

This is not to suggest he wasn't good. Just that he simply wasn't amongst the best. A distinction many seem to want to blur.
That must be it. For the longest time I thought it was coz I wasn't at the game to see the little runs he makes away from the ball when the camera wasn't showing it. I'm glad to know it's not that. It's simply my lack of knowledge about the game :-)Then sadly for you that you don't understand football. It was one of his best games I have seen him, won everything back and fast last night. So much energy and an absolute joy to have in the team.
Why do you believe so? What specifically made you conclude this?Fernandinho was better than all of them with the exception of maybe Stones & Silva.
You've gotten in this stupid argument about Fernandinho in the transfer forum and now you're doubling down. He was almost perfect yesterday, was pinging the ball all over the place, starting attacks, made a bunch of covering tackles in the few times we lost the ball and cleaned up everything.

The former might be true, but it doesn't change how I view the latter. Which is a factual analysis of each players performanceFernandinho was better than all of them with the exception of maybe Stones & Silva.

No, I'm not wrong.
He won the ball back as many times as Zee, 4 times each. Again, in a game we dominated, in which there was less to do defensively, I'd argue that it was those who did the most 'on the ball' that we'rNot even off the ball stuff because I would say he won the ball back more than anyone easily last night, he was immense.
Yes you're wrong.No, I'm not wrong. You see it differently. He did what is expected of a basic DM. Don't commit turnovers. He didn't. Help with the press. He did. Make a few long range passes. He did. With his great moment being the through ball pass for the fake penalty.
But doing the expected to me is not grounds for Motm considerations.
As for the highlighted above, well everyone of our players did this yesterday. So that can't be the basis for why he was Motm.
Objectively speaking, he wasn't.
