Spurs fan here ("For My Sins") and I'll be honest, I didn't used to think much of Fernandes. But I was at the recent game at WHL and saw a different side. I have to say, Maddison did a bit of a number on him, in the first half at least. And a number of Fernandes' passes went astray etc.
But as the game went on, he never hid; on the contrary, he worked his socks off, in all areas of the pitch, and you could see that he cared. And that's not something you could say for all his teammates
