Player thread: Fernando (2014/15)

[Cheadle Blue]

The game passed him by completely, it was embarrassing. He looked like he was literally strolling around, no pace, no physical presence whatsoever

Gash...

To be fair putting him with milner was a gaff by pellers,he is not being played in the position he is good in

Doesn't matter what position you play him he should still be able to pass a ball, he panics when he has possession and just hoofs it, look at the first half when he passé it back and Suarez got on it. At least Garcia was comfortable on the ball, this guys like a rabbit in headlights

He had a higher pass completion rate than anyone else on the entire pitch. If you're going to criticise him, at least make it about something that actually happened.

Do those figures include the ones to Barca players then, look the guy is dire, he's always on his back foot and has the turning circle of an aircraft carrier.

A good game from him tonight.

How many chances is this guy going to get?

I was all for him getting more early on in the season but it's 6months in now and he's been an utter flop with a couple exceptions.

It simply does not work when he's there especially if without a dominant attacking partner. Milner's not really that man and I'm not sure why he was chosen over Dinho tonight.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Watching him try to get anywhere near iniesta was like watching my nan chase a dog round the garden. Starting him over Fernandinho insane. Astounding from pellegrini

 

[pudge]

Complete and utter wank

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

First half he was poor but I thought second half he was much better.

Milner on the other hand was just poor.

 

[Holden onto a hero]

I'm beginning to feel a little sorry for him as he is clearly out of his depth, whoever sanctioned his transfer to us needs replacing as well.

A football pitch is no place for an octopus.
