Why is Mahrez hated but Bernardo isn‘t? Bernardo is offering nothing. He had 1 good season in 4? Mahrez at least can score which Bernardo doesn‘t. Yeah he Bernardo runs a lot but he is no threat right now - neither in creativity and neither in front of the goal. He plays too vertically.

Are you actually taking the piss ?

The tone's unfair, but he kind of has a point under it all.

It's clear to see why Mahrez gets a lot of stick, but in general he does create chances more than most and he's a direct goal threat. His general play is very questionable though.

Bernardo is a great defensive asset. He presses really well from the front and always gets back. But his general play is uninspiring and his direct goal threat is not great, despite the fact he has the ability to be better. But in 3 seasons he's had 1 great one, 1 ok one, and 1 quiet one with the odd good game here and there. There's obviously reasons why Bernardo may have difficulties that plenty have spoken about. I'm extremely hopeful both he and Mahrez can get back to their best.


But I say as one of the 7 out of 72000 members on here who doesn't hate Mahrez, it does seem odd that he gets so much more stick than Bernardo does.

Personally I'd rather neither got the level of vitriol Mahrez gets. I think it's poor form for any City player to be treated that way by his team's fans.

I think come the end of the season, the Jose's band of Spurs will be challenging for the title more than the Dijk-less Kloppties ... if we’re still there or there abouts come the business end ...

For starters, I just want all our players to come back from the internationals with no injuries and perhaps after having played the least minutes and getting some good rest over these next two weeks.

There is three games in two weeks , one a friendly , it is fucking stupid, they wont be rested or uninjured

Agree 100% Kaz, managers should be kicking more of a stink up about the international fixture list rather than using only three subs.

Bruh. You really following thru the whole forum eh? Well now I will give u an answer after 20 attempts.
Go to the Mahrez Thread and see if I never criticized him.

I am just wondering why one - who is creating changes at least is not liked while the other one basically doesn‘t even create - gets a pass for a long time now.

She’s not your Bruh ... for starters ...

Re: Mahrez v Bernardo ... Bernardo did enough in one game alone (THAT Liverpool game) that Mahrez hasn’t done in all his time here ... Bernardo was Player of the Season that year as well, Mahrez has (off the top of my head) never been player of a month let alone ... if you really want to critique then maybe quantify what period you’re comparing ... his last two games or four games vs the other ones same period then people might consider ... sweeping statements like that won’t get you anywhere!

I think if the best you can up with to dispute a guy's point is saying "UH no actually he's not played 4 seasons, he's played 3 seasons and 6 months" then you're struggling.

We are 7 games into this season and Bernardo has started only two of them (partly due to injury). In those two, he was excellent against Arsenal and very good against Sheff Utd. So 1 out of 4 is wrong even if for some mad reason you count 7 games as a season.
