I hope he gets a chance tonight. Eric's flaws in midfield have come to light and we shouldn't play our best defender there. Casado seems to be in horrible form so this boy is probably our best bet until Pedri is back

Physically reminds of Nico G who was dead after 60 minutes for us. He also had a big frame early on but not using it effectively. Bernal is lankier but still needs to learn how to maximize the use of his body since he's bigger than most players on the pitch.

Nowadays Nico is chaining multiple 90s in a row for City so it's far from the hardest thing to improve in football.

Yeah. Nico spent 6 months on the fringes of Conceicao's Porto adapting physically to his demands.

If Bernal pushes himself in the same way here then we got a player.

But Nico was always a more offeneive player naturally. Bernal seems a pivot through and through.

Trust in Flick. He wouldn't play him if he didn't have clear potential and if he doesn't do things well on the field already.
