Premier League clubs not failing in Europe because of their Englishness
Chelsea, Arsenal and Man City had five English players in their starting XIs
Fernandinho is not better than Ryan Mason even though he cost £35m

The mouth-watering prospect of the Clasico at the Nou Camp does put the Premier League into perspective in a week of European failure. On Sunday night we have Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema against Luis Suarez, Neymar and Lionel Messi.

Meanwhile our own version of a clasico wil be taking place at Anfield — but no club in the Premier League has a forward line like those in Spain. Increasingly we’re a stepping stone to better things, having lost Bale and Suarez to Spain.

What is obvious, however, is that the failure in the Champions League was not a failure of English clubs. It was a failure of clubs with owners from Abu Dhabi, the USA and Russia. In those Champions League games there were five English players in the three starting XIs.

And the managers were from Chile, France and Portugal. The Premier League may be failing but it’s not its Englishness letting it down. So now that even a huge influx of global thinking and talent at both executive and playing level at football clubs has failed, perhaps we can rethink the premise that we need to keep bringing in players and directors from abroad.

Of course, there will always be room for the best imports. But you can’t tell me Fernandinho is a better player and better prospect than Ryan Mason. They do a similar job, the only difference being he is a £35million transfer and therefore deemed worthy of a place at a top-four club.

It’s time to ensure that some of the proposals from the FA commission, which I sat on, come into place, not least the tightening up of work permits on foreign imports so that only the best from outside the European Union can play here. We’re failing in Europe anyway so the Premier League need to ensure we’re not forever looking overseas for solutions.



You know what, call me crazy but I think Hoodle might not like us.

Oh Christ, we've got another deluded twat that hates us. Why couldn't he have said Herrera whos contributed to absolute fuck all to United. You've really got to wonder how city went from everyone's second team to the most hated in the country. Well maybe second hated after United.
 
Thought he was one of our better players tonight. Would love to see him paired with a equally willing central midfield partner and given a run of games and then judge him. The amount of work he's had to do this season to make up for the lack of effort from the players around him would be enough to make even Lothar Matthäus look a bit crappy.
 
Pellegrini wants shooting for playing him in a two with Yaya its so unfair, get him a decent partner who's as equally willing to roll his sleeves up for the team ....

Watch him get dropped for Fernando against the rags.

that it was i think will happen tbh...you can bet that will be fernando-yaya MD for rags..anyway back to fernandinho it's just criminal by MP to put him next to yaya in a 2-man MD....he has to do the entire dirty work by himself just buy a MD in the summer willing to match his hard-working and we will much much better in MD...someone like koke
 
as the team has descended into a bit of a farce, Fernandinho has been one of the very few players to stand up and show he gives a shit, he played pretty well away at Palace and has been good in the centre for a few weeks now. He should play every game now and essential we keep hold of him.
 
Wish he'd cut out the stupid fouling. Contributed to an already tough task but at least tried hard to redeem himself and worked hard 2nd half.
 
Has been one of, of not the most, reliable players for us this season. A given starter until it's all over.
 
I feel sorry for him. He has to do silvas and yayas defensive jobs and of course your going to give away one bad foul. I can't fault him. He's one of the only players who gives a shit imo

You have got memory fade here pal because frankly for the first 3 months he was absolutely wank.
