That’s rubbish. What’s so special about this team is that anyone can slot in and out of any position and we still keep up our level of performance. Bernado has been brilliant but so have many others.

Two points separate us from being top to being third. The team is special however we are top because of Bernie this season.

True..

Who don't a-knowledge this - I think don't understand the football in overall and especially Pep`s football..

Then let's ask counter question to those, who think that it's not true.. (Please re-watch Tottenham game, were we lost and ask yourselves question - why..)

Please name the player, who could play Bernardo`s position and influence the game - like he does now..

I know who you are thinking about, but what Bernardo does in small spaces - HE ISN'T ABLE TO DO and when you can't do that, then whole midfield is under constant pressure and you loose ball more frequently, which means that opponent possesses the ball more, your defenders have to defend more and etc. and etc.

Just rewatch Tottenham away game. Bernardo wasn't there, but he was and we lost.. Why ? Because he isn't as good for Pep`s philosophy like Bernardo is.. And without Bernardo, we could have easily lost against Chelsea, against Liverpool, those PSG games and in the end that's how you get out of top four - simple as that.

Yep, we had that midfield in 2019 / 2020 - why it was the worst season under Pep ? Because no one could do the stuff - Bernardo is doing..

And what's more important Pep agrees on that and that's why KDB had to play false 9 - whole playoffs last season..

Without Bernardo - this season was destined for failure and that's the fact. Like for example without Rodri we were destined for failure or without Ederson. That doesn't mean that team counts only on Bernardo or only on Rodri or only on Ederson - but these players are ideal for Pep`s philosophy.

Joe Hart was great keeper, but Ederson suited Pep`s style better. Play Joe Hart instead of him and you are out of top four, because that's how Pep`s system works.

Same story applies to Bernardo. We should just a-knowledge his importance, like we did that for Ederson..

You need Bernardo or someone who plays like Bernardo. Right now, in the midfield - only Bernardo possesses that specific style of play..

Fucking hell, I agree he's important but you're being ridiculous. If we sold Bernardo we'd have bought someone in to play that position, he wouldn't be as good but we'd still easily get top 4. West Ham are currently 4th ffs.
 
Not sure any sort of post can do this man justice.

Just have to sit back and enjoy the show.

That’s not what you said. You said we wouldn’t be in the top 4 without him. That means we would be at least 12 points worse off. Absolutely no way would that be the case with the quality attacking midfielders we have.
