Got to be this team. A perfect balance of pace, power and class. Barca have got pace and twice the class as us but can't see them matching our powerful players.

While I agree that Barça has more class than us at the moment, I wouldn't say they have twice the class of us. We have some very classy players in our squad and I just can't wait to see us up against them.

Really surprised me how good he his . We have got a real gem in Fernandinho .

 

[Damocles]

Did he pass you on the street wearing trainers?

I'm afraid Zin that you said something so clever that about 6 people on the forum got it, but to be fair that's 4 more people than usually appreciate your humour.

Incredible stats.

 

[adrianr]

Knew he was our most important player, though I didn't think he was quite that important. That is a truly ridiculous difference.

Also completely misleading. Correlation isn't causation.

Did you know that the amount of fires in a city increases at the same rate as the amount of Chinese restaurants?

It doesn't mean anything. I saw a similar statistics posted that schoolboy masquerading as a reporter, David Lynch concerning our win rate with Lescott in the team being much greater than without.

Stats don't tell the whole story but they do mean something. We really don't look the same without Fernandinho.

With regards to Lescott .. It's true that our defence is stronger with him in the side. We conceded only 1 goal in the capital one cup because Lescott gets to play in that competition. In the league we conceded dozens of goals because there's no Lescott.

Correlation isn't causation.....

but it's a start and everybody knows Nando improves the team

Just to clarify, my conclusion that he is our most important player wasn't based off that picture, we obviously haven't played that many games without him. Though it's always interesting when you see the numbers, even if only a little, support your hunch.

I should also clarify that I think he is our most important player for the way Pellegrini wants us to play. We could use the other players to set up differently and still be successful, but the whole 4-4-2 gung ho method really needs Fern.

The Chinese are pyromaniacs and Fernandinho is mint, case closed.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

Serious news.

The Football Brain is back.

I'd deploy fern as a holding midfielder for this one. Just behind silva Toure and nasri.

2 better displays I have never seen (shaktar v Chelsea) by anyone in that position.

Totally dictated the whole of both games from that position.

Our chances of winning have just improved hugely.

He had sat deeper than yaya all season (after the first couple of games) and will definitely play there, clearing up and covering as yaya pushes on.

 

[andrewmswift]

Was absolutely awesome tonight. Surprised no one giving him credit.

 

[Cosmin]

I love this guy

 

[FantasyIreland]

Awesome.

 

[cockneyblue]

Awsome.............!!!!!!!!!

 

[Manx Blue]

Some cock on R5L(Phone guest- "City fan") doesn't rate Fernandinho...there was stunned silence from Savage and the host, which is saying something!

 

[1970IrlamBlue]

Played well tonight - great to see him back.

 

[RandomJ]

Just came back from injury and played like that. Immense. I feel sorry for players like him, Silva, Kompany who played out of their skins but were let down by MDM.
