Fernandinho - 2019/20 Performances

[ws01]

Fantastic athlete, even at his age his legs are as good as anys.

Nah mate, we need to bench him like Yaya. He's gone.

Give him the two year contract he wants , Rodri has done Ok but he's not at Dinho's level and never will be , he looks fit and still has enough pace and aggression to compete at the top level , and i cannot think of a player in the world who we could sign to replace him at the moment. Only Kante gets somewhere near his standard but Chelski will not sell him to us.

Rodri has already replaced him. That’s why he’s playing centre-back

At CB yeah, not at DM.

 

[BosnianBlue]

might have been his best performance at CB so far. Magnificent.

Dinho is playing centre back out of neccesity , Rodri will not be the preferred defensive midfield player when Laporte returns.

Interesting. Have you seen any performances that back this up, or are you just looking at his age and going 'Hey, he's 34 - his legs must be gone' ?

Great first half. Thought he gave the ball away too much in the 2nd half.

 

[cityboy1]

intrigued to see how him and laporte will work as a centre back partnership could be what saves us in the champions league and gets us to the latter stages

Surely he could play at DM for a match or 2 if need be (maybe not vs strong sides)
but we have seen in past years that he can't go DM intensity over a season anymore. No rocket science, at his age.

Great decision to use his midfield skills, experience and attitude at CB.
Surely he will stay a bit longer.

But look what it tells about Stones and Ota that (without Laporte) Fern is our best CB...
