For me, Bernardo Silva is still adjusting to the physicality and refereeing of the P/L.
On several occasions I've seen him bullied off the ball (needs to adjust to physicality), and I've seen him go over expecting a foul and yet not given one (needs to adjust to refereeing).
And he seems a bit rusty still, misplacing a pass or two unexpectedly.
Once he adjusts to the P/L, B. Silva is going to be truly awesome.
He's already in the top ten in the league for pass completion % so imagine what he'll be like when he doesn't unexpectedly miss a pass.

Don't think I've ever seen a player who can so quickly get the ball under control and turn in such a tight space.
He's still acclimatising to the physical nature of the game in England, but once he's adapted, he's going to be a joy to watch.

Gundogan, my favourite player, has a wonderful touch and beautiful balance, especially when running with the ball, but Bernardo kills the ball effortlessly and can seemingly turn 180 degrees without actually moving the ball. It is disconcerting to watch from afar, so it must be bewildering for anyone trying to stop him. We're so very fortunate to be able to see such players.
Why would we bother when FIFA 18 is coming out next week?Reading through the posts I doubt anyone of you have played football in your lives..Stick to FIFA 17 boys.

I can see Bernardo starting v Shaktar on Tuesday.

As can I. Partly because I don't see him starting at Chelsea.

I'd consider starting him instead of one of Kev or David, to rest them for Chelsea, and play Bernardo in the centre v Shakhtar. He needs a boost in confidence and it's too easy for the game to pass him by out on the right. I want him in the middle and on the ball as often as possible.
Agree I want to see how he plays in the Silva role too. He still adjusting to the pace of the premier for me a bit like Silva did, champ league he knows what its all about.I'd consider starting him instead of one of Kev or David, to rest them for Chelsea, and play Bernardo in the centre v Shakhtar.

Champions League suits his game while he adjusts to the Premier League. I'd expect he'll start tomorrow instead of Sane

Great today even though for only 10 minutes.
He deserves a shot at playing in the middle. Tired of Pep playing him wide, he'll never prove himself there.
Shame.

Great impact but who do you drop? Nobody out of KDB, Silva, Jesus or Sterling deserve to be on the bench.

Not saying as a starter mate. Even when he is subbed on Pep usually plays him wide.
I'm thinking when Silva or KdB are subbed off maybe he could replace them, or when either are rested. I don't know. It just pains me a lot to see him so close to the line so often.

That's his position though. Played pretty much his whole career out wide.
