I don’t understand why people are so focussed on stats.

Can people not just see when someone is a good player?

Have people forgotten how to judge players now?

Or is it just people who’ve never really played the game other than online or 5 a side and don’t really know how to judge?
Stats are absolutely not the be all and end all of football but they can give an indication of a player. In this case it simply confirms a weakness in Bernard’s complete lack of composure and finishing ability in front of goal which is backed up by watching his performances.

Ultimately I do think he is a good but severely overrated player who can still contribute to the squad but shouldn’t be a starter for any club pushing for the top 6

I blame "football manager" and kopites with their pseudo intellectual wham that they chat.... Three cheers for this post hip hip.... ;););)

We may as well fold now then

Whew. Bernard is a creator. I can't imagine relying on Squawka or whoscored to judge players.
 

Lol there are posts from me on this website & NSNO way before he joined the club. We argued for months before he joined.



Pogba scored the same amount of goals except he took 10 penalties while Gylfi only officially scored twice from the spot.

Yes he has 3 more assists than Sigurdsson, and we all know you blame him for that & not Walcott or DCL for having poor finishing.

Gylfi has an xA of 8 while Pogba has 6. Saying he was 'as effective as Gylfi this year' is about one of the dumbest things you've said on this thread, and that says a lot.












This is why stats are rubbish.
 
Literally the only player who can do something a bit different in the entire squad but apparently there aren’t any stats for that.

Some of you are so so weird.
We live in a world where Donald Trump and Boris Johnson poll millions and millions of votes. the world is awash with blurts mate, drowning in them. The fact that that are some on here coating off the only playmaker we have shouldn’t really shock or surprise you?
 

First touch, movement, vision, passing range, positioning, work rate.
That's a good list. I think we overrate Bernard in a few areas though. First touch is great no doubt. Positioning and movement are decent but as a forward he doesn't get in the box or the areas between defenders around the box enough for me. Work rate obviously good but in his position not overly important. There is a minimum requirement obviously but going over that doesn't do as much as it does for a central midfielder. Passing range feels to me overrated. I think he plays it simple mostly which isn't always bad but also prevents him from making more telling contributions.

Yeah, and if you completely disregard the numbers you can still see he’s far from an elite creator, as I said good player technically but his impact is overrated

And for all the people on this forum who back him to death honestly what top 6 side does he get into? You could easily make cases for the likes of Richarlison, Gana, Digne and Siggurdson but who seriously would Bernard start for without bias

Totally agree. Maybe United if they decide that Martial and Rashford both aren't wingers but still probably not. Jota probably holds his place for Wolves too so none of the teams above us last season.
