[fuskarn]

Deary me, a few bad games and some want him sold.

few bad games? how many good games has he had since the treble?

Very few

He dropped off a lot since that season. I mentioned it a lot last season.

He's barely creating anything. Often he's slowing our attacks down when were breaking because he just cuts back on himself because he can't beat too many for pace.

He seems to look a lot more dangerous playing with KDB though. They're often able to find each other with little passes around the box, even against Spurs.

Coincidence that his form after KDB was out 6 months and hasn't really has a sustained run of fitness?

 

[samuelyeboah]

i think it is a little sad how he has transformed from one of the most exciting players on a pitch in any given game to one of the most boring. just plays boring. there is so little risk taking in his game there are players in this team you buy a ticket to see and bernardo used to be that, but now you feel your blood pressure going down when the ball goes to him.

 

[Keeper!]

Burnt out and broken.

We have run the little fella into the ground.

Time to say goodbye and thank you and for him to get back into the sun and an easier league.

 

[Richie Rich]

At least he showed some kind of passion unlike the rest of the players.

 

[striver]

in the 2nd half we had the chance for counter but he stopped so spuds players could track back at fucking 0-3, it just sums up his game for last 2 seasons

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Been dreadful this season. He tries his best but the spark has long gone. Compare this Bernardo to the one we had in 2018/19 who stepped into Kev's shoes. Its night and day.

 

[youngbob]

Yeah, has absolutely been run into the ground over the years. The one thing he's had above all else is stamina but that's gone now. Gets outpaced and outrun pretty frequently by opposition midfielders and it's been this way for a while.

 

[skillman]

Goodness me. That was painful.

 

[Gabriel]

He was a hair’s breadth from an assist to Grealish. The fact that that hair was on a bald head rather sums up our luck.

 

[city warrior]

The only thing he offers is a good cross when he is 1v1. No dribbling (at least not a meaningful that doesn't end in a pass back), no goal threat, zero creativity, zero vision, barely any good pressing anymore (not his fault, he is getting old).

I would play him because we barely have players right now, but as soon as we have full squad, I hope to never see this Bernardo starting a tough match...

 

[OrigamiNinja]

He’s really getting on my tits now. Had so much credit in the bank but he is using it up at an incredible rate. Doesn’t attack. Doesn’t defend. Doesn’t do much at all.

 

[decmancity]

Been shit for two seasons, he needs to go for probably his own sake and ours.

 

[Bluewonder]

Like a number of players, he is way past his best.

 

[heslops barnet]

He’s really getting on my tits now. Had so much credit in the bank but he is using it up at an incredible rate. Doesn’t attack. Doesn’t defend. Doesn’t do much at all.

Another one we’ve kept to long……freebie to Portugal next season

 

[Blu1]

Sell asap. Love him but bye

 

[Chak19]

If you watched him only this season, you'd think he won a fan contest to play for the team.

 

[RayCTID]

Sad to see Bernie's decline and I don't like saying it but he is similar to Walker in torching his legacy. The way he is performing should be part of the first phase of the move out.

 

[Brewster's millions]

Shit. Has been for a while.

His tracking back for their third was frankly comical.

 

[chris85mcfc]

Pains me to say it, but he was abysmal tonight and has been largely for 18 months
