Fair. Even if the fat racist has been dead years. Would still offer more than Iwobi

What?! Work rate on the defensive side of the ball is one thing that is absolutely certain about Bernard. I assume he didn’t start because we needed some extra height to deal with VVD and company on corners. Bernard is similar to Pienaar on the defensive side.

If I was on a wind-up I would.

Looks like you're on the wind-up mate.
Running around a lot is not necessarily being good on the defensive side. He doesn’t keep shape and likes to drift. He’s also easily brushed off

He is not caught out of position any more than our other wingers and he is a better tackler than Iwobi (who isn’t a strong defender btw). He is probably the best defensive wing in the side bar Richarlison.

Carlo also shifted Richarlison to the wing seemingly because he didn't want to rely on Bernard at the end.

I'm not on about his effort mate, it's more positional discipline. Just think it was interesting that the decision was made to put Richarlison on the right and play Bernard in front of the 2 CMs.

Would expect he starts on Weds though....

Bernard being a midget is the main reason I can see him getting phased out by Carlo. He is a super negative on set pieces. He is also older than Iwobi and hasn’t come in on a price tag, so he is expendable. I don’t think it has to do much with Bernard on the defensive side so much as he isn’t the type Carlo is looking for.
Iwobi has talent, but for me, it certainly isn’t in his current role on the wing. He is better off anywhere else along the frontline.

Think you're right for the most part there, think there is a very good chance we will see Bernard move on in the summer. Big wages, not vital to the team despite being at least as good as anyone else we have in the wide positions, and will fetch a decent fee which will be entirely profit as far as FFP is concerned.
We shall see though, don't think the team will be too different against Norwich but could make the case for either Iwobi or Gordon dropping out for Bernard on Wednesday.

Honestly, after having Iwobi and Gordon essentially play as wing backs for the entire time they were out there Sunday, I think it would be very tough to drop either for a game where they will presumably see the ball up the field.

Definitely puts the yards in.
However, hasnt it been commented by Ancelotti thar Bernard cant play away from home (which is where defending is more likely)?
My guess is that we see him move on in summer with Iwobi and Gordon competing on the left.

It was a very physically taxing game for them though, Bernard may come in purely for fresher legs and the fact games were we have the ball more suit Bernards strengths.
