Bernardo narrowly edges it from Rodri for me

 

[ChicagoBlue]

If he somehow passes the drug test Bernardo.

I know, right?!

I’d love to know how much ground he covered today…and how many touches he had. He was EVERYWHERE!

As I said at about 90 minutes, “Bernardo, I fucking love you!”

Rodri MASTERCLASS as a DM, with Bernardo playing as a “free DM” alongside.

Had to go with the Energizer Bunny, though. Best midfield performance of ANY City player in a long time!

And, let’s not forget THE CITY FANS, who were MAGNIFICENT the whole game! You’d have thought we were the ones with 40,000 in the stadium!!

I doff my cap to the traveling fans.
BRILLIANT!!!

Bernardo is made for the deep lying play maker, Modric, role for us. Modric was last decade’s top player doing that; Bernardo has always been superb doing it for us (Liverpool at home, Arsenal away, Leicester at home, today… over the years) and that should be his position ongoing.

 

[Petetheblu]

Berni was mint today, Rodri was fantastic and Laporte was difference at the back.

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

I could have gone with Bernardo or Rodri as they were both brilliant today. Bernardo just edged it for me.

 

[TFC]

Special mention for Dias, there was a reason Lukaku stayed away from him as much as he could.

 

[burning blue soul]

Great team performance, but Bernie just pipped it for me.
But, take nothing away from the rest, pretty much flawless everywhere.

 

[Petetheblu]

Special mention for Dias, there was a reason Lukaku stayed away from him as much as he could.

He got short changed by Laporte to.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Bernardo a masterclass of midfield play , one of his best performances in a blue shirt , and he has had some great games, apparently he doesnt like the climate , buy him a sand pit and a few sunlamps and a nice new contract.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Special mention to Dias absolutely not fucking about with two minutes to go and taking the most beautiful yellow I've seen a City player take since PSG. Makes you wonder how May might have gone with Rodri. As with last year, some talk on Blue Moon of City's demise has been greatly exaggerated! A point at Anfield and we are really cooking, but regardless now that's a good week.

 

[herrock]

Bernardo wins, but Rodri was the outstanding holding midfielder on show today.

 

[PaleBlue]

Actually agreed with Cancelo, but a great team performance, all were excellent as were the subs and the manager.

 

[Robanompivenov]

Bernardo, Cancelo and Rodri were all absolutely superb, but Silva just edges it.

My exact sentiment.

Just think where we could be now had Bernardo left the club in the summer. Player of the start of the season for us without doubt.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Bernardo Silva performance should be on Pornhub tonight.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Not the greatest fan of the lad but that was the best Rodri has ever played. Fucking excellent performance.

However, still not as good as little Bernie.

A total midfield performance from the man.

 

[TFC]

He got short changed by Laporte to.

Prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt due to the injury, but agree. Dias is some boy

 

[Vienna_70]

Didnt think Kev was, but Bernado, Mr perpetual motion, MOM easy for me.

Yeah, Kevin’s passing wa poor at times, but in his defence, he’s still getting up to speed after injury.

 

[chickaroon]

I went for Bernie, the man was everywhere. It was a complete team performance. Just brilliant. Also, as everyone has said, Rodri was outstanding a figure of complete calm in the middle of the pitch.

 

[bondsman]

Outstanding to a man for me but Bernardo genuinely looks back to his best, his work rate wow. That said entire midfield superb and the 2 cbs aggressive and resolute come on city

 

[Sky Blue]

Rodri unsung hero. Little Bern was immense though.
