2019/20 Bernard

[everton fan number one]

Not a tough decision - jib Iceland off with his concrete boots.

He shouldn't be immune to dropping. Despite his awesome crosses yesterday. No need to just build the team around him anymore.

Oh look who’s here after a win

Love Gylfi's technical skill; however I often wonder how much his lack of pace hurts the squad in their heavy press.

With Iwobi on the wing; would it not be prudent to start Bernard at CAM when anticipating the boys may not have much possession; for example, the upcoming match vs. City?

Firstly you dont have to have bags of pace for a high press , have a look at that big galloot for Kosovo last night.

Secondly our main goal threat & top scorer aint getting dropped anytime soon.

Since he doesn't really play CAM, no.

I'd love to see him in that role. Obviously it would depend on what type of center halves he's up against but he could be very effective at 10 against the right team.

Our fans have this weird obsession with pace right now, same on the Keane thread

What's CAM please?

Cool. Have you seen him play that role? How has he looked?

nope, but I've seen him play on both wings, he's well able to trap a ball, has great close control, can turn away from players and thread a pass. He's also tough and determined. He's well able to drop in to the middle and help out. He'd be able to link the likes of Gomes and Kean. He's also fast so he'd be handy on the counter. He's obviously small so putting him up against huge yard dog defenders is a bad idea but that could also be said for playing him on the wing.
Sigs has a habit of disappearing out of games so when you get to the point where the full backs are passing to the midfielders to the wingers to the midfielders to the fullbacks and nothing is going in to the box, maybe it's an idea to see if he can unlock a defense.
It's hardly like I'm looking for Michael Keane to play 10.
