Fernandinho

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Still think it should be 6/7 games before we can judge properly. Early signs are not great and similar to Garcia when he signed. He hasn't got any better but hopefully Fernandinho will.

If he doesn't then he needs to be dropped and Milner or Rodwell given a chance.

I am not sure we can afford the luxury of both Silva and Navas in games with the midfield we have.

I would expect to see Milner in against Stoke and I would line up with him and Fernandinho holding with Yaya playing further forward.

Nasri and Silva supporting Negredo up front.

Aguero and Navas making way for that game.

I would choose a one legged Aguero over Nasri for any game. Ever.

Honestly, Nasri in the team in place of Aguero. Heard it all now.

Well maybe not Nasri then but Aguero has been poor so far and against Stoke we can't afford 2 forwards the way we are playing.

In fairness Nasri has looked better in the glimpses I've seen so far this season, including his work-rate which was often questioned...

As for Fernandinho, I'm not convinced yet but I think he deserves a bit of time. However he was treading thin ice with his fouling again today and I think he has to watch this aspect of his game. No harm in alternating him with Milner & Rodwell (whom I both rate) whilst he beds in, as they equally deserve a chance.

I got laughed off here when I started the thread "no more Brazilians was the cry".
Gut reaction is he ain't up to much in the League. Hope I'm wrong but with having Robinho, Jo and co take the piss previous I don't hope for much. Fucking Owen taking the piss giving him MoM too?!

 

[carlos tevez is a blue]

To me he's a slightly faster Barry. Not seen much dribbling from him but that'll come.

Too early to make a final decision.

I get the feeling though, that a Yaya-Fernandinho 2 man pairing is like that of Gerrard -lampard. In a 3 man with someone protecting the back 4 (a de Jong or Barry sort...) they'd be quite fearsome.

I honestly think the system stifles both Yaya and Ferdandinho.

Don't you just love BlueMoan? We have played 3 games.
Hart - makes mistakes, including England, can't distribute well. Zab. had a 'mare' at Cardiff. Clichy the same - got benched today. Kolorov is the 'butt' of all on here. Lescott - useless in possession!. Vinny - legend. Nasty - glad he is back after injury. Our midfield is over run - 2 players usually will be outnumbered by 5. Yaya is a' lazy donkey'
I feel he should be played forward more. Where is Nigel De Jong when we need him. Fernandinho - 'not worth £30m' .Dzeko blows hot and cold. Silva - not on form. Aguero not 100% fit. Nasri has been slated on here.
Navas and Negredo will do for me.
So, what is our problem?. We are slow and pedestrian in possession. I think room should be made for Milner.- playing right of midfield. Teams like Cardiff , Hull , Sunderland ,Stoke ,West Ham , will outnumber us in midfield.
I think we should forget "a back 3" and play a back 4. Which means that Zab. and Clichy do not have to 'bomb' forward.
A middle 3 -possibly -Milner , Yaya , Fernandinho.(although he is right-footed)
A front 3 out of - Navas , Negredo , Silva , Aguero ,Dzeko , Jovetic(not seen him play)
I realise this team is unbalanced. So I give up and leave it all to Pellegrini. He has got good references.

I'm reserving judgement whilst we don't have Vince behind him and Yaya as he looked much better in the barcodes game.
