Vital Football Legend
Consistently inconsistent is probably a fair description. He's either brilliant or awful with very little in between.
That was a real piss take.
Under no circumstances should we be getting rid of this guy, he has quality and his output hasn't been bad. Definitely questionable about him being a guaranteed starter next season but I think he'd be a hell of an option in rotation and off the bench.
Biggest problem he is totally left footed, and defenders know that.I’m not the biggest fan on Bert overall, his 1 good game in 5 ratio is no where near good enough at the moment. He’s a wonderful technician though, he’s the first player you’d pick on a 5 a side pitch with those feet.
He was playing higher and narrower versus Everton and getting into the spaces between the full back and centre back, rather than 20 yards away reverting to a flat 4-5-1 effectively which is how some games have panned out.
Promising performance, as always with Bert I think you need to judge him over a longer period as you can easily yo-yo between “shit” and “quality” on individual games which I’ve maybe been guilty of.
He’s another player we need to play to his strengths, and if a game doesn’t suit him such as Citeh, we should just bench him. I don’t think he’s be that bothered if it was tactical, because tactically he is one dimensional.
He must be pretty pleased with himself putting one over the Chelski 'machine' that sucks in so many players and then spits them out as being no good after a few years.He scored an incredible goal and won the penalty yesterday to win us the match and not a peep in his thread?
Great first season. He'll be better next season too, no doubt about that.
