guess he's still adjusting, seemed to be on a slightly different wavelength and it's early, but I hoped he'd be much more influential.

Hopefully the game time and getting used to his team mates and all the nuances of our attacking movements will see him flourish.
 
too many touches at times. that slows himself and our overall play. Bit Nasriish at times. he's obviously extremely talented player so he should come fine with time- after sane's first few months when he looked much worse, I'll never write off such talented players too early.
 
Great technical player, but I said in the match thread, that he was too busy! Seemed to not give ilkay and Yaya any space to work, will come good but I think if he plays centre again he needs Kev or Dave besides him to direct
 
He drifted wide too often for me, to the extent that in the 2nd half Sterling ended up almost as a central midfielder at times - which he isn't. In that line-up Bernardo needed to be the chief creator in the middle and overall he was disappointing given the opposition - however well Wolves played they are still a Championship side and didn't play a full strength team.
 
He needs to do a Sane and toughen up to the premiership requirements. For large periods of the game seemed to pass him by as it did for Sane and Merlin when he first arrived. Give him time and I am certain he will come good.
 
Nowhere near direct enough right now.

Thankfully we're in no rush with him, he can take his time to adjust.

This time last year Sane was still finding his feet, so all will be good given time.
 
Pretty underwhelming again for me. I suspect we'll start to see some adjustments and improvement within a few matches. A little bit of a worry of mine is that he's caught in no man's land regarding his position. Is he an 8 or a winger? He's best suited as a 10 or RM in a 4-4-2 but I have no doubts Pep and Bernie will figure it out. It's just taking a little longer than anticipated.
 
Needs to be the creator centrally. Doesn’t have the pace to be running on to passes. He’ll be fine.
 
I’d wager he hasn’t had a bad start but not a great one either. Good thing he’s young though! Young players need consistent game time and unless Pep rotates Dave a bit more, it’ll be pretty difficult for him to get game time, at least for this season.

IMHO, he is yet to impress.
I haven't witnessed a significant contribution from him just yet.
Still early days though.

Not played a huge amount but he has scored a goal provided at least one assist and held the ball well under pressure.
All significant contributions in my opinion.
But he's a young guy getting to know a new country with new team mates and a new system of play.
 
Very tidy but just not as effective as Sterling in our system, doesn't seem able to beat his man on the wing, keeps the ball well but has little end product at the moment. Imagine he'll be more suited to the role being played by Silva/De Bruyne currently, just doesn't quite have the pace/delivery to be a winger in our system for me.
 
Still settling in. I think Pep clearly bought him to play in midfield.

Right now doing a job on the wing because at times there was no other option.

Sterling and Aguero both played 120 minutes so they were tired therefore Pep played Bernardo instead. If we had Sanchez he would start, hope we get him in January and then I’m pretty sure we’ll see Bernardo played exclusively in midfield.
