It feels like he's been caught in possession in dangerous areas more times this season so far than the entirety of last year.
 
Lyon seem to target him in possession tonight and he repeatedly lost the ball, very poor
 
fernandinho doesnt need a back up but a replacement imo which is what jorginho would've been at 33 turning 34 by the next summer window he is declining and we have to move on.
 
We should have got someone in for fernandinho, he's been a great servant but his legs are declining, after we missed out on Jorghino, we should of just got Lemina from Southampton in, I feel this may cost us later on in the season.
 
Let’s not forget that teams understand just how important Fernandinho is to the way we play. Hell, Pep said he would like a team of 11 of him!

So, if he receives the ball in tight spaces, sometimes he is immediately surrounded by two or three opposition players trying the immediate counter. It worked perfectly tonight and they nicked a goal.

The problem is, as has been said, he knows this and should either play a one touch pass away from him, or move away from the position he is holding so not only he can’t receive a pass, but to create space for others.

Never been a fan of Ferna and Gundogan playing together in the middle, because I don’t think either one plays their best with the other stealing some of their operating space. However, the ineffectiveness of our “bolstered” midfield against a fast, pressing opposition is eye watering at times. Makes you realize just how well Stones and Laporte play at times, even if they make the occasional mistake that costs us a goal.

Love Ferna, but I’d sit him for a game or two. Give him a rest and come again in 10 days....maybe David Silva, too!
 
Terrible yesterday, which is staggeringly unusual for him IMO. Need to give Gundogan more minutes as the DM and allow Foden more opportunities in KDB's role. We can't struggle through until he's back fit.
 
Doesn’t have enough left in the tank for 3 games a week. We need to buy a DM in January.

Sloppy performance by him last night. Gave the ball away too much.
 
He looks his age. Not signing a DM to rotate with him could really cost us this season.
