Terrible deployment of him from pep today. He was pressing way too high for somebody playing basically in a midfield 2 and I cannot for the life of me fathom why his first movement everytime we got the ball was to move into doku's position. Rodri did the same on the right so I'm 100% convinced it was tactical.

That spin he did to release us on a break which should have led to something was utterly sublime.

Not a great game but completely not his fault.

Really? I thought he was brilliant. He was just asked to do far too much IMO.

In the sense of all our problems were in central midfield. Like I said, I in no way attribute blame to him for it, he did what he could in the circumstances, the tactics were just really shit and him and rodri following instructions caused us many problems.
 
Mentioned in the other thread how I came from the US to see the game today. My 13 yo is super into American sports but is indifferent toward “soccer.” I mentioned to my husband after the game how Bernardo is so slight in person and my 13 yo chimed in, “Is that number 20? Cause he’s the best player on the team. He is so small but so aggressive. Like an ant that keeps biting you.”

It was funny to see what stood out to him - as he literally has no knowledge of the game or players. But there may be hope for him yet if he picked out Bernardo!
 
I wish we could play him on the right and in central midfield against pool. Hahaha!

Can’t believe anyone thinks that performance from Bernardo wasn’t brilliant. What a fucking player.

We have lots of fans that are not capable of a tactical / technical assessment of a performance. I would argue Phil was slightly better but Bernardo was excellent. Defensively we were poor, individual mistakes and poor positioning/ decision making. Nothing more, nothing less.
 
Pep should give Bernado more authority on the pitch. He is the most senior and the best attacking midfielder when KDB is away.

Some players did not follow Bernado's instructions on the pitch.
