Don't see the value in bring Fernandinho on, Rodri didn't play last game and he isn't moving out of the centre circle anyway, keeping the 35 year old dinho fresh should be the priority surely?

Keeping him fit is also a priority.

Muscles atrophy much faster at that age, and that is often a bigger contributor to injury than overexertion (impact injuries cannot be avoided unless you just never play at all).

I think Bernie know @SebastianBlue is on for a grand and the pressure is getting to him.

Keeping a bit of rhythm to his play.. coming on 3-0 up and playing 25 mins will do more good than harm and keep him sharp. Risk of Injury is really the only threat but the minutes probably justify the risk.

Mysogony? Isn’t that a rice dish?

I was just about to say that. Strange one, we need to be using Fern sparingly, given his age and importance to how we play.

Minutes in legs, keeps him ticking over
