Pete DonaldsonHOST
Go on then.
Pete DonaldsonHOST
Adam Smith, Alisson- Alisson? Um, Fernandinho, Callum Wilson, Chris Wood, Emiliano Martinez, Fabien Schär, um, Granit Xhaka, Harry Maguire, uh, is in the top- Okay ...
Pete DonaldsonHOST
twenty oldest players.
Pete DonaldsonHOST
James Tarkowski, John Egan, Lewis Dunk, Marc Bizzotto, and Matt Selmes.
JoshHOST
I'll not say any more about Elliot Anderson.
JoshHOST
But players like Fernandinho, instrumental in that team as well.
JoshHOST
Obviously, it's hard.
JoshHOST
He's not going to make top 10, but...
DaluHOST
All of a sudden, uh, I think, um, [tsking] someone got a red card.
DaluHOST
I think that was Vinicius versus Fernandinho on the right.
DaluHOST
All of a sudden, City sta- sta- shaking.
DaluHOST
But throughout that entire game, Madrid were like under the cushion.
CJ HookerHOST
I always know he's in the conversation for Brazilians, but I never sort of know how many games he's actually played.
CJ HookerHOST
Then we actually had Richarlison in third with 276, Fernandinho in fourth with 264, and then Alisson in fifth with 200.
CJ HookerHOST
I
BenHOST
was going to say Alisson.
CorbinHOST
I know Shakhtar Donetsk is a big club, but, like, come on, man.
RaheemHOST
I mean, back in the day, they used to be selling guys like Willian and Fernandinho.
RaheemHOST
And to go that to, like, Mudrik, who's been out for two years, sadly.
RaheemHOST
Coming back hasn't really had an impact at Tottenham and is injured again because he probably has lost his flow from the last two years.
David MooneyHOST
There was Ake at the Emirates when I think Laporte headed it over Edison and Ake sprinted back, cleared it off the line.
David MooneyHOST
I remember Fernandinho doing one at Chelsea, but then immediately ruining it by handballing it on the line for the follow-up and giving away a penalty and getting sent off.
David MooneyHOST
so there's been that's up there but I mean I don't think many of them have been called oh John Stones as well obviously famously against
KCGUEST
Liverpool all of that
Joey McKeownHOST
Yeah.
Joey McKeownHOST
But I think the thing that's different this time around, as opposed to when Rodri came in to replace Fernandinho, is I don't know that anybody was out there looking like...
Joey McKeownHOST
Because when we were replacing Fernandinho, it was so much...
Joey McKeownHOST
there was so much stuff about, Oh, well, Rodri doesn't play like Fernandinho.
Joey McKeownHOST
And I don't think I've heard that about Anderson doesn't play like Rodri or body doesn't play like Rodri.
Joey McKeownHOST
It's like, well, they don't have to, if they play the position well in their own way, then you're good.
Joe ButterfieldGUEST
I'm sure that he's done his fair bit over the years, but I think certainly in this last year or two, we've all looked at the side that we've got and thought that it has... lost a little bit of something on the mentality.
Joe ButterfieldGUEST
Do you know what you think about when it was like Fernandinho, Pete, Kevin De Bruyne, those kind of players were there.
Joe ButterfieldGUEST
Yeah, yeah.
Joe ButterfieldGUEST
They must have been horrible to play against.
11 MINS LATER
Steven McInerneyHOST
And when I start to think about the defence, I'm like, well, how much is it the midfield protection? I think a lot of it is that.
Steven McInerneyHOST
I think we're really open because he clearly wants Enzo Fernandes really high up alongside Schalke.
Steven McInerneyHOST
It's like, remember he used to play just Fernandinho behind David Silva and De Bruyne.
Steven McInerneyHOST
It's a bit like that at times.
David MooneyHOST
He was crashing around and winning the ball left, right and centre.
David MooneyHOST
I mean, we talked on the previous show, after the Coventry game, about how he was kind of Fernandinho-esque, just putting out fires all over the pitch.
David MooneyHOST
It's a very big...
David MooneyHOST
I mean, we've seen for years that Rodri's done it on his own when somebody else has come in to do it on their own.
David MooneyHOST
It's a gamble you can look at and go, it is worth taking.
Chris HigginbottomGUEST
Yeah, if anyone's going to do it, he's the man to do it.
Chris HigginbottomGUEST
I mean, obviously, we're going to make the comparisons with previous City players in that area, but he was doing very Fernandinho things and he was doing very Rodri things.
Chris HigginbottomGUEST
All over the pitch, because he had to, because there's more space for him to eat up.
Amos MurphyGUEST
But Toshani Reinders versus Enzo Fernandes, if that opportunity arises, you'd probably go and get the World Cup winner who's got... a few more years in the tank, and especially when Saudi, you know, doing Saudi stuff and offering you DAF money to take a player off your hands who's only been here a year.
Amos MurphyGUEST
So midfield recruitment has been a real issue for City, and it's kind of why maybe it's a false sense of security, but there is so much positivity around what City are operating within midfield at the moment, because I think, you know, Elliot Anderson, isn't Rodri by any means, but in terms of that ball retention and off the ball work, he's kind of like a combination of Rodri and Bernardo Silva, or maybe more Fernandinho is a better sort of representation of what he can do.
Amos MurphyGUEST
Enzo Fernandez, obviously brilliant in terms of his on-the-ball stuff.
Amos MurphyGUEST
You have to replace these players by a committee almost.
