Fernando

What a fucking colossal performance from him, and actually the same has happened at Kyiv and in Paris, apart from that shocking mistake (he lost the ball again tonight before Cavani's chance, which was probably their only real goalscoring opportunity, but boy, he as fucking everywhere and tackled everyone throughout the entire game).

Having that said, I'm having a hard time imagining him in Pep's team (he never really had a 'specialist' DM in his squad in his entire coaching career, and got immediately rid of Luiz Gustavo, who is one of the best players in this regard), so that's sort of the same nice swan-song for him in the CL as it is for Pellegrini.

I'd argue Xavi Alonso is one of the worlds best. Back on topic Fernando has been outstanding, the more he plays hopefully he'll get better.
 
  1. "We can still finish third if Arsenal lose to Aston Villa so we must forget about the draw and just go for three points."
  1. "If we fail (to qualify) we can't class this as a good season - if we do then I think it's been a reasonable season overall."
This lad has become a firm favourite of mine,i always knew he'd come good and his attitude is spot on.Whether Pep thinks he can use him i'm not sure,but I think he's proved worth every penny of that 12m.
 
A decent but extremely limited player. If Pep does not want him due to his obvious limitations then it begs the question why did we sign him? The same goes for all the players signed from 2014 onwards.
 
He's playing better but that's not saying much. Like his attitude clearly gives you everything he's got just not sure that he impacts on games enough.
 
I had high hopes for Fernando but they were never fulfilled but he works bloody hard and through that he's stood out this season when he has no right too. One last game for you to show what you're worth Fernando! Maybe Pep might see something, I doubt it but makes no sense to not give it your best shot.
 
Has come good the last few weeks but some leagues are just too quick for some players? Seems a decent fella though and tries hard unlike some!

I agree. I hope that I'm not being too cynical in thinking that he upped his game only when he realised that he needs to catch the eye of other clubs to get himself sorted for next season.
