Paulo Bernardo

His form has truly dipped. Really poor again

 

Would play McCowan over him every day of the week.

 

Needs a * eternity to do anything don't get that time at this level.

 

No idea what's happened to him, was excellent early on in the season and his form has fell off a cliff

 

He looks really unfit and off it at the moment, he's regressed a fair bit. Was a few times far too slow to release it, one time the early cross was on and he hesitated and played it after another touch. Start of the season his passing was brilliant.

 

Honestly feel for Bernardo. Started the season so well and fell victim to Engels price tag. Thought Engels got a few good undeserved starts over him, also when he did start he was taken off pretty early for Engels while reo was dropping 2/10s and playing 90 mins. Almost like that might have an effect on your confidence…

 

Yep that early cross was on big time to the young lad in the middle . He takes three touches then a cross into the first defender.

 

Folk were desperate for him to get in ahead of Hatate not so long ago. It’s easy seeing why Rodgers has stuck with Reo. Pish again tonight.

 

Just doesn’t impose himself enough, in any regard. Kind of drifts along with the game without doing a whole pile of anything too productive (whilst not necessarily doing anything ‘wrong’). Needs to improve.

 

Not so long ago he was on fire as well and during good form and performances would be hooked, then miss a game or two and that killed his form.

Now he’s struggling but he’ll come back round to form, Hatate and Engels have picked up on form and deserve the start in they positions but not so long ago, McCowan and Bernardo probably deserved to instead. That’s the point of having a good squad, we have a tendency of snide comments when not in form like they never were. Bernardo is another one like Idah I think, confidence player, he has a tendency of getting a goal and looking top class for a run of 8/9 games, drops off plays within himself, then gets a boost again.

Last two has been him with Portugal u21’s and bagged a goal. Came back on fire.

 

I could never understand the want to have him ahead of Hatate to be honest. I don’t think he has been great at all this season at any stage. Even when Hatate was “shocking” in some folks eyes, he was still getting more goals and assists than Bernardo.

 

I've always liked him...

But he needs to be doing more, time to step up.

 

Did he come on last night?.didn't notice...

 

Think he's great. He's still very young, will only improve.

 

No issues with him at all. I won’t expect much from any of our other mids coming on in the second half last night.

Half way through the season and he’s already broke into the team for a bit. Don’t think he was bought as an instant starter. He’s young and only going to get better.

 

Lack of games and is always going to be inconsistent at his age. People forget O’Reilly had plenty * games for us in amongst the good ones.

 

Thought he looked a bit sharper and composed when he came on, had been a bit off it last few appearances.

 

I think we'll see the best of him next season.

 

Aye much better tonight. Hopefully gets him out his wee slump.
