Bernard should get the stick Deulofeu gets. The lad's blowing for tugs after 55 minutes.

Hes just come back from a major injury and ran the show for 60mins odd before he was shattered

Yes, and Moyes has been our best manager for many a year.. coincidence?

11 seasons = zip.

Thanks Moysie.

I don't think Silva had them fit at all.

He definitely didn't. Same as martinez The last few pre seasons have been a Shambles. Need Ancellotti to get them to klopps standard

Still the best we've had

In his defence, Bernard does an awful lot more than Deulofeu did

He was our best player by a mile today.

Hmmm. I'm not so sure. Deulofeu could tear any opposition a new one on his day.

Read somewhere once they Moyes had them running up a mountain every day during a preseason in Austria...

I imagine some of his key players from back then would've relished it too.

Although there's some obvious downsides, there's some key positives: you find out quick who's not willing to follow orders, fitness, morale and resilience are likely improved.

Imagine getting the likes of schneiderlin doing that!

Fitness carried over from the Moyes era is possibly why we did so well in Bobby brown shoes first season.

Agree. It'd be nice if he can contribute more though.

I meant in regards to tracking back, putting himself about, generally defensive work

 

[wainy]

Coming back from a knock I suppose. The rest could learn a lot from his intensity.

 

[DaChunk]

Bernard is returning from injury so isn't fully fit even by the Silva level.

 

[bullybeef]

Let’s get on the Liverpool Juice.

It’s working for them... even though it might not be fair or entirely legal.

Oh yeah. He reminds me an awful lot of Pienaar in that respect.

He has talent. I've always said so. He needs a permanent place in the No.10 position.

Pity his days were like leap years
