So gratifying too see the sorcerers apprentice blossoming so brilliantly, he’s going to be one of the best players we’ve ever had, he’s the new Silva in the making ... !
Thought much of the first half against Brighton passed him by, with the ball tending to go out to the left (Silva/Sane/Zinchenko) and Bernardo finding himself playing further forward and with his back to goal; perhaps that was the intention. Seemed to be much more involved in the second half, and that was a peach of a pass that Sane really should have done better with.
He's one of the most naturally talented players we've ever had and made a big difference after he came on tonight. I think he will have a big impact on Sunday if selected.

I said it elsewhere,Liverpool will have the greater physicality,we can do nothing about that,so we have to find a counter tactic.Playing the two Silva's will mean we retain far more possession,and dictate the tempo,we can then use our width/pace to wear them down and hopefully nullify their industry.
Bernardo is proving even better than i imagined.Its a moot comment,but i wouldnt sell him at any price.
