Denzel Zanzibar 6,972 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Also let's not forget that there's only really a couple of good teams in La Liga. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,301 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Isn’t Bernardo regularly making team of the week in La Liga? Some players just suit certain leagues better. Link to post Share on other sites
richmfc 41 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I think the vast majority of fans watching him every week could see he didn't have the attributes to play as a wide man. He wasn't fast, he couldn't cross or go past players and he stifled our creativity down whichever side he was playing. He scored a lot of goals in and around the box. He read the game game well, could strike a ball well and wasn't afraid to work hard or get physical. Everything you need to thrive as a Championship striker. How many games did he actually play for us as a forward. I do remember seeing him up top and he didn’t look anything special Link to post Share on other sites
Changing Times 12,343 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Brentford at home in the Championship he did and scored twice although one of them might have been when he was out on the right as he got moved in the second half as I remember correctly. He was sort of up front in the Spurs home game last season for a bit in the second half with Rhodes but even then he was still kinda over on the right hand side. I seem to recall him playing up front in a couple of away games last season? Did he play there at Palace maybe and somewhere else as well? Link to post Share on other sites
BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 He started up front against Oldham in the cup and scored twice. Link to post Share on other sites

Against Watford at Vicarage, we played 2 up front in a weird 3-5-2 thing when Gaston was 'injured' in January. I seem to remember him having a couple of good chances and (I think) a good goal wrongly disallowed. But it was few and far between, yeah. Link to post Share on other sites
