Player thread: Fernando (2014/15)

[bluefn]

He needs to quit the diving in. I know that much. I thought he was going to get himself sent off today. He scissor tackles and he went over the top of someone with one tackle, 2 footed stamp. Can't remember who it was. I was right in front of it don't think he even got a card. But he was on a booking whilst he was diving in left, right and centre.

Lets not be silly now.....he is a much better player than Garcia,he's the tier below top class and exactly what you get for the price.

I'm not being antagonistic, but what do you think he's better than Garcia at? Reading play, passing, movement, tackling, heading, pace, what attributes do you think he's shown for us that are better than Garcia?

He's arguably a bit faster, but that's rather like like saying the older Proclaimer twin isn't as ugly as the other one.

Other than his heading ability and a similar attitude,just about everything else you mention.

But Garcia was great in the air?

up there as one of the worst buys for many a year.

Yes,as I acknowledged,heading was his forte.

He simply isn't good enough for the level we are at or want to be.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Yep,i said that as well.....

Time will tell but with Sinclair as competition, it will still take some doing. To be fair to him today his midfield partner was equally as crap.

 

[Paul_Powers_Tash]

No doubt he didn't have a great game today and hasn't yet lived up to expectations but he's been better this season than Fernandinho who cost three times as much. The £35 mil we spent on Fernandinho is the problem and not Fernando.

Getting a lot of stick on here but ffs some people have short memories.
If Jesus navas had a final ball in him we would have won today.
Fernando has a job to do in breaking the oppositions counter attacks and I thought he did that well today.
