that type of performance should help him get back in the national team picture.
I`m thrilled Marsch has seen fit to switch to a 4-5-1 (or 4-2-3-1) in order to get Bernier on the pitch along with Felipe and Warner. It`s a testament to Bernier`s class and ability IMO
....and right after I type that he is substituted out the 60th minute against Chivas for the ever-useless Justin Braun and the Impact go on to concede and lose.
I know, that bugged me. Player of the Week out, elephant feet in. He was also subbed out of the game before, after THREE assists.. Braun was actually involved in Chivas winning goal.. Braun clumsily jumped up to head the ball away, missed by 10 feet, and Angel was standing behind him and headed it in.. Marsch plays one Canadian and treats him poorly..
Bernier had something of a dominating presence in the game. Even the Houston jobber play by play guys were aware of it early and mentioned it. To be fair, the Houston play by play guys, although not great, were not horribly annoying. Later I watched LA vs Van and RSL vs SJ ... LA p-b-p is horrible over-the-top homer .. it's like listening to two evangelists of the Donovan Temple ... RSL is bad because the color guy is oppressively explaining the game in a high squeaky voice (the other guy doesn't really call the game so there's lots of time to fill). As well as he's always saying 'look at this' ... I am looking, ok, I'm watching the game, that usually means I'm looking. lol
As I said elsewhere, Bernier made 75 successful passes vs 5 misses. Although Bernier foul leading to the 2nd Houston FK goal could have been decisive. He got over-ambitious reaching with his foot trying to steal the ball. Felipe looked a bit worn out, but Bernier took up the slack.
Yeah, Bernier has definitely been beast mode lately. JDG better watch out because at the rate Bernier is going he might not only get called up, he might be starting ahead of JDG. Serious. But then a month of play is no indicator. Either way it only bodes well.
Yet another strong performance by Bernier as he leads the Impact sans Arnaud, Felipe, Rivas and Ferrari over the Crew in the first comeback win of the season. He now leads the team in scoring.
