2018/19 Bernard

[The Penalty Box Dancer]

Am I the only one who doesn't think he done too badly yesterday? Got into some good positions and provided some dangerous balls into the box. What are people expecting? If he buried that one on one we would all be singing his praises. He's a class act who had an alright game.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Drop him and you have to put Calvert-Bambi or Tosun in up front and shift Richarlison out wide.

So no.

No idea why people beg for us to give the likes of Davies time but are already asking for Bernard to be dropped.

Richarlison has to go out wide, he's wasted up top.

Unfortunately we'll have to wait until January to bring in a top striker.

 

[Sir Alan]

Hope nobody is writing him off yet.

 

[Nymzee]

He’s barely played since like March lads.

 

[BillLovesRoo]

Excellent logic but he was good against Leicester that won the league after Man U so maybe we should keep him ?

Im so confused now!
Personally i think our best option would be to bin off and sell anyone who played any part yesterday!
Get Everyone else into the team!
Then when they lose a game, bin them off and sell them!

Cant be sat around all day waiting for these players to play themselves out of slight dips in form, if they are not a 9 out of 10!
Sell them1
Dont care the window is closed!
Just sell them!

what is wrong with people

last year we got annihilated 4-0 at old Trafford

this year we probably deserved at the very least a draw

stop being negative

Quality player - missed an absolute sitter which can happen however in these big games they will always cost you more often than not.

 

[Papa Shango]

It’s not doing him any good being thrown in the deep-end, is it?

He’s pint-sized and needs time to adjust. It has been too easy for the opposition these past two games with him there.

The Brazilian and Ukrainian leagues are littered with yard dogs who will just boot a Bernard in the air the first chance they get. I don't think its an issue and I don't think it has been so far.

If he scores yesterday everyone would be praising him. These are the fine differences with fickle football fans.

Totally agree mate, at 2-0 we were wobbling a bit, but I thought we responded well. In recent seasons we would have lost from that point by 4 or 5, same at Arsenal. Things wont change overnight, but the green shoots are there for sure.

Of course people are.

 

[granter79]

The lad is a class act and we need to keep him in the team to get him 100% fit.

Poor again

No he wasn't. He didn't play as well as he did against Leicester but he was far from poor.

I don't know why people expect teams like Man Utd to just lie down and let us walk over them. Yesterday we created 14 chances, 6 on target, away from home and Bernard was a big part of that. The only team to have created more opportunities against them this season was Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

I agree he should have done better with his opportunity. To miss the target completely from that position was poor. But his overall contribution was decent.

Hope so however he did cost us yesterday but he also won us points at Leicester, swings and roundabouts, he looks class, even if he did blunder at OT

Very true, Gary Neville even said during the commentary "this could end up being 4 or 5 now", may be wishful thinking on his behalf but was far from it at the end, in fact I think Jose was pretty glad to hear the whistle go!

In my opinion i thought he was poor vs Palace and United as were the front 4 in both games tbh
