Nothing like blind confidence.
To me, Fernandinho so far seems more akin to Garcia than Yaya - the player he was advertised as resembling the most.
You know what mate you use to be a really good poster back in the day imo but now your just another wum or know fuck all. Hes played 2 fucking games not 10 not 20 but 2, 1....2 and in 1 of em you could argue he was motm.
I say what I think. So far Fernandinho has looked far more similar to Garcia than Yaya. He has not impressed in either game, nor did he in pre season, and, regardless of the price tag, if he doesn't improve on Saturday he should be on the bench for the derby. I'd far rather start that game with a fired up James Milner than give Fernandinho another run out to see if he can step up.
I'm not writing the guy off, far from it. But if he needs time to settle in/adjust or whatever, he shouldn't be doing that as first choice on the team sheet. Let him adjust in training and have game time as a sub and in cup games.
