When has he been brilliant? When he was getting suspended for half the season?

We look far, far superior when he has not being in our midfield set up. I've never seen a player live off a former reputation more than he has. Yaya came in for him and took over and we instantly looked far more solid. Stones looked better. Otamendi even looked better. Suddenly Sane and Sterling had free reign thanks to far faster movement of the ball. All of this stemmed from taking Fernandinho out of the line up. That's not coincidence. Right back is the only slot I have for him right now, and when we buy a RB, and hopefully buy in Fabinho he slips even further down the pecking order.

Feel free to prove me wrong, but results and the general look of the team since he was moved out of the middle say I'm right.

I'm starting to think that Fernandinho follows a regular pattern every season. He has a good first ten games, but then the intensity takes hold and he struggles. It's why signing a Fabinho is so important.

He had a fantastic first season, and like everyone else he got a pass last year. But when you look at him this season, I can't see what he actually adds to the team. We're torn apart when he is in there in front of the defence, he doesn't get assists and doesn't get goals. It's just a ton of running around really. If he can convert to RB then fine, keep him there, but he's nowhere near good enough in our middle.

I'd just like to point out that for much of the time Yaya was out, Sane also didn't feature regularly. I think it is only since around Christmas time Sane has featured in every game so we didn't always have two prominent fast wingers to stretch teams efficiently with. Our last game featuring both Yaya and Dinho had Yaya struggling whilst Dinho was solid at both RB and then CM. I do feel Dinho will be a utility player next season, filling in when required if we sign Fabinho and Isco/Dahoud but he has performed like most in the squad this season, up and down.

I guess Kante is of no use to Chelsea then. Assists and goals are irrelevant to a holding midfielder. Like I said in my previous post to you, he's performed no different to most this season, up and down and he will be a squad player next season and what a fantastic player to have fill in.
