Starting to look a prem player

Played very well this evening. If Kun hadn't had a stormer of a game, Fern would have been a strong contender for MOTM, in my humble opinion.

 

[bluethunder]

fantastic pass to aguero. when has garcia, barry or de jong made a pass like that ? never !

 

[andrewmswift]

he's shit, overpriced, only passes sideways, barry is better, 30 million, wah wah wah

fuck off haters, this guy is pure class

 

[Lomas has a lob on]

Very impressive tonight!

 

[Marvin]

Excellent performance from Fernandinho

An all-round midfield performer. He's got everything in his game and showed it today

On the money.

One thing I liked seeing tonight was late on a few times he just opened his legs and carried the ball the length of the pitch, at pace.

His best game yet! Played Ferna

mammutly and blightee will be here soon to put you all in your place. :)

The truth is, he is a level up from both De Jong and Barry because in addition to the defensive dirty work (and he gets through a lot of it since Yaya has a tendency to slack off at times) he is quite creative and will pass through the lines and often bypass that awful slow sideways passing that we became accustomed to that made it hard to create chances in games like today's. His pass for the opening goal would never have happened if Barry had been in the team.

Quality player and consistently putting in good performances.

 

[BlueAnorak]

Class on a stick today. My MOTM just ahead of Aguero and Silva.

I thought he was superb, powerful, willing to carry the ball forward and his passing was top notch.

WHY WASN'T HE COVERING BEHIND HART WHEN THE GOAL WAS CONCEDED? CLEARLY HIS FAULT. GARETH BARRY WOULD HAVE SUCKED THE BALL AWAY FROM THE GOAL FROM 30 METRES OUT.

He's growing in confidence, establishing a role and relationship with Yaya and integrating himself as key in midfield. I think I made rash judgements because I struggled to see what his role would be and how he would prove beneficial to our midfield. I have to say I like him and he's growing on me. He's strong, fast and is a great passer. His timing is good and he is more than aware of the runs of play and he looks comfortable within the team.

I'm very sorry that I was quick to judge him. He is a very good member of our team

Love the guy, his a work horse. Just wish he would shoot in occasion instead of always looking for the pass he has a good foot on him.

Well said bob... humble and good on ya... what makes us blue fans the best in the world!

I remember fighting with blues on this forum about how good he was and his price tag was not inflated, as he would come good... some players don't hit the ground running like Aguero did, but Ferna is now coming together in our team and looking a little more like he did at Shakhtar, which got him the high price tag.

He will still come great and be even better as I think we are only seeing just over half his best... 2nd half of this season is gonna be a blinder, especially in Champs league!

clearly he is more reserved compared to yaya toure. i think that is what he's been ordered to do. its not like he isn't capable of doing more in that final third of the pitch.

Dribbling is one of his strong points so we aren't fully exploiting his ability, but it has to be that way as we'd be too exposed if he regularly went forward. You could see his ability going forward when he took it into West Ham's box and probably should have shot, but instead created a chance for Aguero's hat-trick that was well saved.
