Bernardo is way better as a Kante-type midfielder than a creative midfielder imo. I think he's wasted on the wings actually.

I agree, I think that Bernardo enjoys that role. Much more involvement, getting stuck, breaking the lines with his skill in tight situations.

Been at CIty since the age of 8 and is a top, top prospect, IMO. Promoted to U18 at 15 and captained the side last season.

Thanks.

I said it after the Club America game, and saw it again this morning, but Kev looks really sharp and as lean as seen him in a few years.

Bodes well if he can stay injury free.

Thought Jack looked noticeably sharper/fitter as well.

Slightly concerned that we had 22 goal attempts but only scored once. How many minutes did Thor play?

Ah, me 'n Rico have summat in common. We've both been at City since we were 8. That's where the similarity ends.

Me too since aged 7. My ball control is better than Rico’s, but my shooting is more Raz like, so City turned me down. I could have been a contender, Charlie.

Can one learn to spell his name right now, so one doesn’t look like a plastic in print?

Many have spent the last 5 years mispronpouncing Jesus!

1-0 doesn’t really reflect the game,20 odd shots,a goal disallowed for offside,hit the post,should of had a pen.Bayern didn’t have a shot on target.I know it’s a pre season friendly,but I thought city looked pretty decent,the kids that played looked quality

Agreed mate, though they did have a decent goal chalked off.

Played the first half then Alvarez on for the second.

He also scored another that was correctly ruled out for offside if I'm remembering rightly and the late night didn't get me confused.

I've had a view for a while now that Bernardo has grown into the role that Modric has played for years with RM. Ball retention, vision, tenacity, space awareness, availability when others are in a tight spot and ball stealing (which used to be called tackling!). Agree he's wasted as a regular winger but that's where Pep puts you when you're still developing your knowledge of how he wants you to play (ref: Berny, Jack, Phil, even Raz and Gabby maybe) Really hope he stays to the end of his contract.
