He is not the sort of characted you want in the team despite his class from dead balls and decent goalscoring record but the clamour for Bernard makes no sense to me.

Like Sig he is very much a homer. He is a massive defensive liabilty and gives the ball away far more than Sig.
 

In defence of Sig and DCL and Kean we really aren't set up to score goals or create chances. Sig in particular has produced all his best football for us with Walcott in the team. The reason is simple Walcott makes runs in behind the defence and Sig is the best player at the club for picking them out.
As things stand currently Richarlison is stuck out virtually on the right touch line all game and iwobi/Bernard come inside all the time so the only creative option for Sig to pick out is DCL or Keam neither of whom seem to try to go in behind often.
When Sig drops off another midfielder needs to go beyond to give him an option and that never happens. Why we don't have Richarlison learning how to make the runs theo does I have no idea.
At Swansea Sig looked great because he had 2 quick wingers running behind and creating space but at the moment there's none of that. As a result it does feel like Sig should be dropped but I'm not sure that helps. I don't think anyone else can change things while we have no forward players or midfielders tying to make runs. Presumably this is also why we resort to going wide and crossing yo no-one all game long. We just don't have the players to interchange or create space in the middle. It's all slow and predictable but we don't have the players formation or manager to fix that.
 
was alrite last season when the team was playing well but he is a disgrace

for the money we paid the performances we have got out of him this season is frightening, spineless coward who vanishes when it gets a little tough

starting to really despise him, then again as much as it pains me seeing him start every week, it's down to silva to drop him

Silva is terrified of him because he cost £45m and is one of our highest earners. He’s also probably terrified of getting it in the neck from his employers for not playing their record investment despite the fact he is clearly our single biggest issue in the final third. Terribly weak management.

lol

By the way, Bernard defensively is boss, that’s why Digne looks twice the player when he has Bernard in front of him.

Should be benched for the good of the team, iwobi needs to be in the middle for his energy and enthusiasm, playing himon the left to accomadate this passanger is ridiculous

He needs to be benched purely because he is not playing well.

I don't really see any issue with having a player of his quality on the bench and hopefully coming on trying to prove his point and work his way back into the starting 11. That's how it's supposed to work.
