Re: Fernando
I know the rule is not to judge a player too soon, but there are worrying signs that your comments are accurate. I don't understand why MP is playing him over Fernandinho.

Re: Fernando
He is being played out of position. Ask any Porto fan what his position is and they'll say he's a specialist DM. His position is infront of his 2 CBs sweeping up behind the CMs. He should not be crossing the halfway.
Pellers is driving me insane sticking with him in CM. He's a brilliant DM

Re: Fernando
Problem is you could see where he'd be fantastic as the lone DM with other midfielders in advance of him. Him along with Toure in midfield by themselves has already cost us dearly.

Just why Fernandinho wasn't starting? Fernandinho was class last season and can make things happen with his passing also.

Re: Fernando
Needs time to adjust from the much slower Portuguese league - great breaking play up but with the ball at his feet he dithers when pressed. It will take time and we are doing him no favours playing him with a two with Yaya next to him. Hate to say it we missed Lampard today, which says a lot about central midfield this season. Next year he will be immense. Revert to Fernandinho and MD and let the Porto players learn the way to play at big tempo.

Re: Fernando
Fernandinho went off the boil a bit towards the end of last season and for me neither he or Fernando has started particularly well this season. When added to Yaya's indifferent start it doesn't make for a great midfield.

Re: Fernando
Decent squad player standard, for me.
Will be a good addition to the line-up when we need to play all three of Yaya Fernandinho and Fernando.
He, like Yaya, and Barry, is too slow to play in a two man midfield at the level we want to be playing at.
There's a reason he cost us about £14m when Fernadinho cost us £30+m and got into the CL team of the season the previous season to us signing him.
