2019/20 Bernard

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.
Bernard can’t stay healthy which has been another problem of his, so I’d agree that we’d probably see him starting most games where we have control and not much else. He and Digne are easily our best players in the buildup and I can’t imagine Carlo not taking advantage of that. Otherwise, I can see him being phased out.

I’m a massive fan of the player but it does seem the manager disagrees with my assessment, team selection on Wednesday could be fairly illustrative of where his future lies.
I think why he didn’t start yesterday was because he had suffered a knock in training and wasn’t quite ready, that is why he only got a few minutes yesterday.
 
I thought he was one of best players until he got injured in November. Ancelotti tends to move him inside more than Silva did. He may not be a regular so he will either remain as a squad player or we could make a decent profit on him. Personally i would keep.
 

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.
Pick the team most likely to win the game, not the one that would be kindest to the players.
 

I swear there has to be someone on here that understands and sees value in longer term planning.
No don’t try and come across like an intellectual now. The point was about giving iwobi and Gordon a game because they didn’t get to do much attacking last time. Like you’re coaching the under 8s at the park and one of the mums is kicking off that her kid never gets to score.

The main reason I want them to play is because I know Bernard is bad and has no future here. They still might.

Better?
 
Can't get my head around how people will slate Bernard but somehow think there's more to come from Iwobi who has shown absolutely nothing all season.

At least Bernard can keep possession and play some tidy football.
I really wish the weird stigma around stats would end
