But he's got an house, Fernandinho.
He's been around, he's played in so many big games and he copes without any real problems, doesn't he?
I think what's so impressive about it is just the way he checks his run because he realises, he checks his stride, he knows the ball's coming over my shoulder, you've got a couple of seconds to think about it.
It's not always easy because as it's coming over so slowly, the pass was incredible as well by Raheem Sterling because he hasn't really got anywhere else to go.
The only thing he can do is dink us like a lovely soft flighty ball in and it's a lovely finish.
I think you described it perfectly.
Which is a killer from Roy Hodgson's point of view.
You want to stay in the game.
They start this really sloppy from their point of view, never really comfortable on the ball.
And then when they lose the ball, just sitting in transition, just move it so quickly.
But I love what David Silva does here.
We've just highlighted him.
He pops it off, and you're thinking there, most midfield players are people like this, they back up the play, maybe if the ball comes back out, we'll keep it simple.
But what he does is what I love to see a midfield player do.
He has desire, he thinks, I can't get the ball there, I'll run without it, and he gets his just rewards.
And it is a brilliant finish, as Clinton rightly said, and an incredible footballer that we speak about.
When he first comes to the Premier League, he was very good technically, but he gets in the box now and he scores goals, and that just adds more to his game.
I think what he's alluded to there, and he makes a lot of sense, he says about we're in our shape.
And sometimes what happens when you're...
When your tactic is to sit back and let them have the ball, sometimes no one really wants to go out of position and go and press the ball, make them feel uncomfortable when they have it.
