At the ground yeah. According to WhoScored he was our third best player on the day.
But say he was our best player on Saturday, are you happy with one good match in six in that position?
If Pep is happy with him playing there then we're good for defenders and don't need to buy another CB.

There was only 2 of our players who performed in that game IMO and that seems to be verified on the MOTM for the game on this forum. There's only Fern and Kev it could have been.
Seen Match of the Day when i got home and they raved about him as well. i agree with you that we miss him in midfield but he's still performing very well at the back.
it's definitely not 1 good game in 6, for a midfielder he's out performed the established centre backs since Laporte's injury.

To answer your last point though, i would far rather Pep bought a CB in Jan.

According to the stats it was Mahrez, Kev, Fern in that order.
I'm happy to re-look at any game you think he's played well though apart from Saturday.

Thought Mahrez was poor other than the goal but it's a game of opinions.
You tell me a game Fern hasn't played well in or a mega mistake he's made or a goal he's given away.
Now if we do the same with Otto, I could mention Bournemouth away- the chest down to their guy in the 6 yard box, Norwich away, the 3rd killer goal, Wolves home- the constant diving in.

Just because you don't make a mistake doesn't mean you have played well. If you can't give me any games as examples that's okay.
I agree though. When he's played Otter has been poor on the whole. Not sure what that's got to do with Fern staying at CB and not returning to his position even when we have a full list of CBs.

You're the one who said he'd played 1 good game in 6.
I don't agree, I think he's been consistently good. That said I'd rather Laporte was fit or we had another centre back. I think we should give Garcia minutes but I can't think of a bad game Fern has played. Enlighten me.

Loathsome Ladyman in Mail says Pep will have an asterisk against his achievements at City due to his failure in the CL. This kind of nonsense is beyond satire, it really is

I don't think these pricks understand as fans we don't give a flying fuck about the Champions League! We've literally won every major domestic trophy in one season - most of us thought we wouldn't see City win one trophy in our lifetime!!
Don't get what this obsession is in the media with the Champions League. It's a cup competition!

It is the only on-the-field stick they have got to hit us with, Mase.

Don't normally watch other CL games but I do remember last season (or it may have been the year before) I watched the start of Barcelona v maybe Juve at Camp Nou. The booing during the UEFA anthem was deafening, puts ours to shame.
Any mention by commentators or media?
Nothing at all

Perfectly put, TB. Came to the same conclusion myself. Hope we win it soon just to fuck them off, then trash the trophy "accidentally" on purpose!

I think it does in the case of centre backs, and it certainly does in the case of our centre backs ATM.

It doesn't. Against Watford we won 8-0. Did our CBs have anything to do that day. Would anyone see that and say "the CBs played well!"

Didnt even show a repeat of KDB's goal on MotD. So far, the goal of the season. Incredible
