Fernandinho

[kunaguero10]

but he doesn't make too many tackles

Only Zabaleta of all the squad regulars makes more tackles per game.

I'm surprised about that, obviously well off in my judgement too! I tend to think of him as someone who gets in the way and intercepts passes rather than full on tackles like a de Jong type player (sorry to bring him up again)

If you're a City fan and you're not happy with this signing then you're not right in the head.

Well, I think he's a bit more subtle than De Jong. De Jong went sliding in as the song goes, Fernandinho doesn't really do that much and often tackles in more of a face to face situation.

Getting better every match.

Absolute quality today !

Have I missed something or did you just get really, really pissed on Saturday?

What about those who are happy with his signing but are still not right in the head?

I think alot are too proud to admit they was wrong.

He is just getting better and more confident with every game.....he is also beginning to make some great runs out of defence.....almost Yaya like.

 

[der-bomber]

He is looking nicely settled now and starting to put in the kind of performances he did at Shakhtar . Fantastic engine and great fitness levels allied to a great attitude .

He's even learnt the lingo in double quick time .

 

[gmckennasell]

probably our most consistent player , does the dirty work , so the likes of yaya,nasri,silva can play , how lucas , ramires and willan get in the brazilian squad is a mystery , scolari has even recalled robinho to the brazilian squad , that has got to be the final insult

 

[trotsky]

A real grafter in a more subtle way than Nige. He is improving game on game. I predict he will become as important as Komps, Yaya and Merlin by the end of the season. Vital in allowing the rest to play.

 

[BlueMo']

I thought he was brilliant tonight for the half he played.
Hope he's not out too long.

 

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

Fernandinho is absolute class. Goes about his business solidly and quietly. Centre mid is in safe hands.

 

[Heart.net]

Hope its just precaution and nothing serious.

Why did he go off?

 

[El Mago]

Pellegrini said he is injured, hopefully he will be ready soon.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Brilliant tonight,he's becoming pivotal to our play.I hope him going off was more precaution than genuine concern.

 

[dctid]

Pellegrini said he is injured, hopefully he will be ready soon.

To be honest i think Milner is excellent also in the centre midfield have no issue with either of them but Dinho i think is the more complete footballer

 

[bandwagon]

the failed interception led to a goal. other than that he had a good game.

i was suprised he was taken off and replaced with milner. i thought pellegrini was punishing him or something. it turns out that he has an injury.
