I'm sure I'll be accused of bashing Bong by default but I thought Bernardo took his chance today. Surely his shirt to lose? Although, I appreciate it was "only" Huddersfield.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

2 or 3 staked a claim for the shirt today bissouma and andone will be hard to shift now too
CH needs to stick now with the team at the time we scored. Conservative by nature, shirley he will. Perhaps with Ali.

Bernardo is far superior to Bong. Time for people on this board to take their Bong spectacles off. Bernado is the future at LB. Hopefully, he can stop getting niggling injuries and play till the end of the season.

And Ali J, who definitely deserves another start

Bong is great defensively and still has a role to play...Bernardo adds pace and attacking threat and is also extremely honest for a South American player. Always tries to stay on his feet.
Bernardo.... no. 1
Bong...good defensive deputy

Well I for one hope that Solly is back next week to put Zaha is his pocket again. Horses for courses and all that.
No, And one should be first choice with Murray as sub

Better player than Bong, it really is as simple as that.

Bernardo and Andone I agree but not convinced about Bissouma despite his obvious promise. Would also add Janhakanbahsh.who gave his best performance today
Bernie inn this team is great.
Andone changes the dynamic of the whole team and in doing so brings out the best in players like Bernie.
That said had Bong put in one 'cross' that Bernado did today, the melts would have melted this place.

Bong has stepped up this season, but the bottom line IMO, is that he is simply not as good as Bernardo....
Remains good cover though.

Would be wrong to bench Jahanbakhsh after today.

Think you all know what I'm going to say but Bernado is better in every aspect. He has more pace, can attack, won the ball back on numerous occasions and his positioning is better. Bong might have a strong tackle but is too often out of position. He also stands off a wide player by too much allowing crosses. Oh, and Bernado can head the ball. Bong is where he should be, on the bench.

I don't suppose it's possible that Bernardo and Bong have different strengths and weaknesses, a bit like Bissouma/Gross, Murray/Andone or March/Knockaert?
Nah! You're right, one is brilliant, the other is crap, just need to decide which is which this week

Very true but some players are better at home than away. I am thinking Glenn and Knocky. I still want to start with Solly but Chris knows best.
