Bongs was clearly a pen that's why they didn't analyse it.
He will be lucky to keep his place in the side after that performance as will a few others.
AJ needs to start v Spurs, and having Bong behind as a more defensive minded full back will get him the nod.
Bernado will get in the side soon enough though.
One of CH’s strengths is keeping faith with players after a bad game. Most of us would have made changes after Watford but CH kept faith, apart from Bernardo, and look what happened. Personally I wouldn’t bring Bernardo in against Spurs as Bong is generally pretty good against wingers, his crapness at crossing in attack is over ridden by the requirement to be on his game defending against what will be a good attacking side, imo
Bernardo strikes me as a bit casual on what I’ve seen so far, I’d bring him in against a lesser team.
