This lad is going to be a superstar no worries about that,when you get ronaldo saying he's the best Portuguese player he's ever played football with then you know there's something special about him.
 
Today maybe wasn't ideal. Burnley were up for a scrap and in this weather it can be tough.


Once we took control on the hour mark he came into his own.

It'll take some time but once he's up to speed his dribbling will tear a team or two apart.

Maybe it isn't high risk for him particularly. Dribbling is his comfort and do notice he takes out 3 players with the dribble. Had he passed it would only remove 1 player.

Every club needs a dribbler. It's going to be the dribbler that breaks down these serried ranks of parked buses. By the time the pass reaches its destination the buses have fired up, moved to new parking spaces in the multi-storey, but the dribbler gets behind the presser, it opens up, and the remaining buses start shitting out of their exhausts.
 
I saw how much happier he was when moved into the middle late on
He's touted as the next D Silva so that's his style
You think D Silva would look the player he is if he played on the wing
Don't panic this lad will be class for us
 
An odd thing I noticed today was that it actually took him over 4 minutes to get a touch of the ball. I think every outfield player had had multiple touches before he ever saw it. That rather set the tone for his first half, and it was interesting that throughout the game his best moments came when he drifted centrally. He will destroy teams in the spring.

His strengths don't include wide play. He is much more effective centrally where he will go directly at the defenders' penalty area!
 
Still needs time to adjust to the physicality and pace of PL football. As well as his teammates. A few times he was dwelling on the ball far too long. And struggled to find his teammate a couple of times.

Clearly a classy player though. Today was a good learning experience for him IMO. I have no doubt he will be a star for us.
 
Handy player to have. His quality is without question - just a case of getting up to speed with what’s required from him.
 
You have to give credit to Burnley. An incredibly organised team that have rightly been praised for their ability to reatrict the opposition. Bernardo is going to replace Silva and play centrally. Wasted out wide because he does not have the pace but he has such technique and guile to beat a few players and thread a pass.

He is such a quality player. With him and gundogan we can replace Silva and De Bruyne without suffering too much of a drop in performance and those two positions are key. The rags are showing with their lack of quality that in this league you will struggle without creative options.
 
thought he was really good in second half
technically amazing and contributes to the control the team had in second half , i prefer him in a central position
have the feeling in a couple of weeks he will be at this top
