Fernandinho is the best midfielder in the English game, according to Graeme Souness.The Brazilian was outstanding during his side’s victory over Liverpool on Thursday night as City reignited the Premier League title race.2

Fernandinho was influential in Man City’s win over Liverpool

He has become irreplaceable for Pep Guardiola’s side and his absence through injury in December coincided with defeats toCrystal PalaceandLeicester City.Hailing his importance to City after the win over his former club Liverpool, Souness insisted there is no better central midfielder in the top-flight than the 33-year-old.“Fernandinho is easily the best central midfield player in our country right now,” he said.“The amount of work he gets through overshadows the technique he has as well. When he wins it and puts a tackle in, he gets his head up and generally makes the best pass.”2

Fernandinho is arguably Pep Guardiola’s most important player

Souness’ praise was echoed by former Manchester United star Gary Neville, who described his display against Liverpool as “sensational”.Fernandinho was also hailed by teammate Leroy Sane, the scorer of City’s first goal on Thursday.Everyone knows Fernandinho is important for us, the German said.He has to defend the ball, win the ball, pass the ball! He had amazing game and I’m so pleased he is back for us.
