A lot of people saying Bernard is a worthy back up at the moment due to some promising performances in the cup games. I just think it suits him when he gets time on the ball. That can happen in some games but all of our midfield now and partly the forwards are very good at taking the ball under pressure. Gomes, Allan and obviously James particularly. Bernard loses the ball too much when under pressure and I think this is why maybe CA doesn’t fancy him in the prem games. Saying that, he brought on iwobi and Davies against Palace, maybe that’s because they offer something defensively?
