Everton suffered their first defeat of the 2018-19 Premier League campaign on Sunday afternoon, with West Ham United recording a 3-1 win at Goodison Park.

It would be fair to say that a lot of Everton supporters were furious with a number of aspects of their team's performance.

However, many of the fans found a positive in the display of Bernard, who came off the bench at the interval of the Premier League clash.

Bernard joined Everton on a free transfer from Shakhtar Donetsk during the summer, with the 26-year-old snubbing a number of clubs to make the move to Merseyside.

The Brazilian made his Premier League debut against Bournemouth at the end of last month, before appearing for 45 minutes against West Ham.

The Everton fans now feel that it is time for Bernard to be handed a starting role, with many calling for head coach Marco Silva to make an important change to his XI.
