2018/19 Bernard

[BillBrasky]

Legit question - have you watched an Everton game this season?

Richarlison rolls about on the floor for most of the game, he's the Everton version of Neymar.

You’re right. Richy has rolled around a few times. However Richarlison’s version only appears to occur after hard challenges. Bernard got bumped two or three times today and was incapable of playing through.

He'll do until Vlasic gets back, whose more robust.

Some nice touches, obviously too early to judge him.

 

[Neiler]

Like this guy, he’s going to be a top player from us, quality and vision.

What I love about him is he is a little fighter, tackles he has no right to make.

Another time today Gylfi bullied off the ball loose procession, Gueye bullied of the ball loose procession, Bernard going shoulder to shoulder with a giant, sticking with it, giant looses his balance and offs skips Bernard with the ball.

Go on kid.

Pity his bigger teammates don’t have the same battleing qualities.

Thought that myself we were bullied all over the park, one player was even kicked in the head. Despise Atkinson reffing our games, he is truly pathetic. Not that I blame the ref for our abject surrender.

- Bernard: Plays his first game for the team, performs really well coming in from the left.

- fans: “quick, move him to another position!”

You’re right , should play both him and rich at LM

Seriously mate, you don't have a clue what was going on out there if your having a go at Kenny.
Him and Digne had impossible tasks to achieve.
His nature is to get forward. That's the type of player he is. He's picked as wing back not a right back.
Silva left him completely exposed when he replace Scneiderlin with Bernard and leaving Kenny with an outclassed Holgate for back-up.
Considering this he did pretty well.
He was shown up when he was up against fresh legs in the last quarter, but the guy was a beast and Kenny had done some serious miles by then.
It certainly didn't help that his inside man, Gana kept pissing the ball away constantly sending him back from where he came.
He would of done better than an out of form Coleman and there's no one else in a country mile of FF that you could say wouldn't have struggled in that position today.
Or to put it another way -
Kenny and Walcott provided decent attacking width and had Ricarlison been on the other wing rather than the absent DCL I'm sure we would have seen a couple more goals from the lads.
Given the circumstances and his age, I'd say he exceeded realistic expectations.

Left completely exposed when Bernard came on? You do realise we were 2-0 at home to Westham don’t you?

To early? I had already made my mind up about him during HT

 

[chippy1722]

Looked bright, I’m looking forward to seeing more of a him. There’s deffo a player in there.

 

[MikeH72]

Not afraid to get stuck in and clattered either, gonna win us a tonne of free kicks

Pity we don't have anyone to take them.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Looked good I thought

 

[evertonarntwe]

some boss touches yesterday, can't be easy coming on at home 2-0 down against a team of absolute big ugly yard dogs

Next time you throw cyber stones at me it should be 'old man' and not 'son' Its about 70 years since I've been called son. General concensus on here is that Kenny is out of his depth and therefore not good enough. A couple of good crosses when he had plenty of space but defensively...er...read the match threads properly and check the MOM stats...…….

See with my own eyes and our fullbacks were the best players in my view. Coleman has been average this season, especially going forward and crossing. Kennys crossing was excellent today. Of course scapegoats our needed in what was a disastrous performance. Kenny let no one down today, second only to Digne. Also special mention for Bernard, who looks a player.

Absolutely Mahermi, full backs both played well...cant believe the adulation Digne (who was very good) is receiving whilst Kenny is being slated for having a good game...not sure what he did wrong today tbh...

Steve -- Not sure what you mean by the 'general consensus'...the reality is that Coleman has been dire this season and Kenny played at least as well as he has done.

I thought Kenny was, bar a few crosses, pretty poor

Totally mystified here...

Appears to be a soft stereotypical diving/embellishing South American player. Unlike Richarlison who seems to be tough as nails and will play through contact.

Not sure you can be that kind of player and succeed here. We don’t get the Sky Six calls.

Bernard's not a PL winger. He'll get outpaced and outmuscled. But in the half spaces and through the middle he'll ok.

He was being booted, held back and yet fought for everything despite being tiny...hes a pint sized warrior.

Like this guy, he’s going to be a top player from us, quality and vision.

What I love about him is he is a little fighter, tackles he has no right to make.

Precisely...

Digne and Bernard really want to win...Richarlison has the same character...warriors.

In trying to solve one problem he created another one.
If he'd brought on Davies for Schneiderlin, moved DCL to CF and replaced Tosun with Bernard - yes against West Ham - we would've probably won, at least drawn, at least had a better chance.
Bringing on Bernard when he did wasn't so bad, but at half time he should have sorted it out properly. He didn't and we lost.

Stick richarlison up top. Can't be worse than tosun has been.

Or drop sigurdsson and play him in the middle.
