Bernardo is more “complete” than David. I don’t think he’s better, per se, but he’s a more rounded player

I said it on another thread, the club better be looking at somebody else called Silva to replace Bernardo. We could have three Silva statues lined up next to each other. They could even make them out of....gold!

His second goal was absolutely stunning. The way he can move his body and manipulate space is unparalleled. He's a nightmare to play against. You can't stop him when he has the ball and you can't get away from him when he's chasing you.

David was superior in an attacking sense in terms of controlling the game and influencing things, but Bernardo is coming up fast and defensively is far better. Finding his top form at just the right time with this run of games we're in. Looking forward to him destroying the dippers in a couple of weeks. That performance he put in against them in the 2-2 a few years ago is still one of my favourites, never seen a player play more like they were one of us in the stands. He chased absolutely everything that day.

Goal 2 by Bernardo was the result of a long flowing move - Eddy to Ake to Julian to Doku to Walker back to Doku.
Bernardo started that whole move out even with Eddy back by the corner flag. chug chug chug chug chug goal

Wondering if you might mean the 2-1 in 2019 when Sane scored the winner. Bernardo was unbelievable that day (along with Fernandinho). One of the best performances I have seen by a player in the Pep era.

Yeah that's the one sorry. Unbelievable title race that one!

Funny thing from weekend - when Bernardo was rotating one way and t'other, sending defenders dizzy I thought of David Silva. David Silva could rotate on on one peseta piece and fox defenders. Bernardo does the same stuff but needs the space afforded by a fifty pence .

Majestic as always.

Looked a bit tired at times. He needs a break soon otherwise he’s going to start struggling. We are asking too much from him

I don't know if it was Pep told him to do but his pressing left us wide open and accomplished nothing other than leaving Rodri alone against 4 players in midfield.

In the big games he needs to play in the front 3 so he can press and harry like a madman. If he is going to play in centre midfield he needs to be far more disciplined in his positioning.
