Player thread: Fernando (2014/15)

[PragueBlue]

He is and always has been a limited player but he can do a reasonable job in a central midfield 3. Not suited at all to playing in a 2-man central midfield.

I can count on one hand the amount of times we've played a three man midfield

That's probably what's making him look worse than he really is.

Strange really because in his first few games he looked strong, good on the ball and a great reader of the game.

And time will show he is all those things. Just not a dynamic midfielder.

I agree, but it also shows what a completely bizarre signing he was

We would have been better off signing someone more like Fernandinho who can 'play' as well as press the opposition. Just not a £32 million version

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Fernando in the starting line up against Barca instead of Fernandinho is some kind of mis print.

 

[Andouble]

Which scout was responsible for this signing? F*ck me.

 

[blueinsa]

Had a shocker of a half there.

Gave the ball away so cheaply and was over run at will but thats not all his fault.

Muck...watching him jog around marking nothing and nobody, get close to someone and then doing fuck all. Useless player, Garcia could pass and marked space blocking off options, Barry covered peopes arse and could spread the play and De Jong hit cnuts hard if he got within spitting distance...this cnut does nothing, nothing. Where's everyone that said this fucker was the bees knees now?, utter shite player...Ousmane Dabo did more and was more use during his time
