If he doesn’t play we can’t score mate. He winds me up with his daft passing and falling over but he’s our most prolific attacker.
I do recognise his value to the team, but he is limited and he needs to continue cutting out his theatrics, like he seemed to today.
Best player at the club. Embrace him rather than slate him.
Not slating him, providing an honest and balanced view of him. Great goal scorer but not much else, and very frustrating player to watch with his wastefulness in build up play and his theatrics.
Controversial.
Some truth though. The further he is out wide the less effective he is. To that extent Bernard provides more from a wide role. But for me he's essential in this team no matter where he plays, as he is a nuisance for the opposition and arguably the only forward at the club who is a consistent goal threat.
Knew it wouldn’t be a popular opinion, and whilst I don’t doubt he has a role to play, I can’t quite work out what that role should be. Don’t like him as a striker, but equally he’s a very limited winger. He proves his worth by being in the right place at the right time and by having great movement in the box, which typically means the play needs to come down the other wing. Tricky one really.
