Fernandinho

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Just proves that he he sooooo much better than than Fernando.However I am one of those who will always give the benefit of the doubt,in the hope that Fernando will come good.

No Oak, it proves nothing, fernando has 10 prem games under his belt, he's superior to dinho in every aspect defensively, he's merely finding his feet.... The reason the 442 is persisted with is once up to speed, you will pretty much have a one man wrecking ball, he's that good....

Oh, and fernandinho should be succeeding yaya imo, he has all the attributes to play that role and play it well!!!

He's not as fast, and he doesn't read passes like Fernandinho does. I wouldn't be surprised if Fernandinho intercepts more passes per game than any other player in the league.

Your measuring him on his city performances as you can't of seen him previously if you believe that!!!!

Fernando was stupidly good for Porto. He was an absolute wall. His ball-winning attributes are amongst the best in world football. Once he's up to speed he'll be phenomenal for us. He looked like he was on his way against Bayern.

Makes sense, we'll need him in Rome.

Glad we came through that with the 3 points then! Fernando/Fernandinho midfield in Rome then by the looks of it. Maybe another? No Aguero no Jovetic throws spanners in the works up top.

I always feel more at ease with Dinho in the team,however,youre right,and so was the boss.

His replacement stepped up very well tonight.

Lampard obviously.

They'll both play on Wednesday imho.

I think we might see an interesting team selection, with Sergio out, and Silva not really ready, but we've plenty of differing attacking options without Sergio.

Why no Jovetic? has that been confirmed?
