I thought NBC named him MOTM.. can anyone confirm that

I don't think they named him MOTM, but they did do a 2 minute analysis/segment on his performance and were very complimentary.

Yes, the similarities are uncanny.

He did alright last night , it was a good performance from both the player and the team , as a whole ....but in general we are still guilty of giving the ball away too cheaply on occasion ..... Newcastle were that poor they couldn't capitalise , but better sides might.

the tackle he made 30 yards from there goal which enabled dzeko to run at their defence was sublime.

I can only presume that you mean visually, from afar, like top of EL3, or even Mary D's.
superb start to his City career and whilst its prudent to note Newcastle's lacklustre display played a part in making him look good, his work rate and hassling for the ball, as well as a couple of inch perfect passes bode well for the future. More of the same and I'll be we'll pleased.

Great energy, but he gave the ball away cheaply at times

He and Yaya completed 171 of 186 passes last night.

That's more than half of Newcastle's total.

Just wait till they play more games together and ferna settles in further...

Could be something

Anyone read the rag ladynan's verdict on fernandino

" solid enough but is that all you get for £30million?
City have wasted enough money on brazilians like robinho and jo
And its time one came off. Not as effectve as compatriot paulinho had been for spurs
And was booked for hauling down goufran

Wanker. I through he was great last night.
