Even if Fern plays vanilla CB...When Fern plays CB (which he will), that’s exactly the role he’ll play, I agree. So many times the opposition will just sit their striker on our DM to disrupt our build up. So if we have another DM coming out from the back 4, we get the extra man and can deal with it. It’s also a huge weapon for us to have Ederson in the build up as he effectively plays as a sweeper and can compensate for Fernandinho leaving the back 4. It’ll be brilliant when it’s a well-oiled machine with Fern in that role.
By playing Rodri and replacing a CB with Fernandinho, you basically add even more intelligence, press-resistence and footballing ability to the team, without taking much of a hit in the airforce department.
Add a fit KDB and the notion of chasing shadows will take on a whole new meaning for the opposition... Brutal.
