Bernal played well. Yes some shaky moments or passes here and there, but overall liked his game even without the goals.

Bernal our Paulinho regen. Scores a lot for his position and yet kind of shows to be ok at the rest.

He is nothing like Paulinho other than the box crashing ability. He is closer to Yaya or Rodri. Bernal is actually good at long shots, dribbling/conducting/progressing the ball with his feet and passing, he just hasn't shown it yet due to age and lack of experience, keeping it simple after the ACL.

At 1.93m (might be even taller at this point) he will be a massive weapon in the box, true. When he develops his physical and aerial sides of the game he could always be our Fellaini backup plan.

He actually shows more offensive quality than defensive quality. In the double pivot system, Pedri is more like the pivot while Bernal pushes high and attack the box.

That was only really the last game when Atletico were camped in own defensive third really.

More or less gave up on pressing the DM and made sense to switch them as Pedri better on ball.. bit less running and Bernal better in box.

Atelti set out not to concede 4 rather than do much with ball..got away with it... just.

I can see the talent for sure. I disagree about him not being a very good passer. Most of his errors are due to overconfidence imo, they are proper wtf moments. He's very gifted imo, but DM might not end up being his position at all. Seems to me he has the tools to be a box to box player.

4 goals already in the little he played is quite something, and 3 of those were not exactly sitters.

In short, a Frenkie replacement in time with serious potential to be better. I still think we need a DM, but we are starting to be overcrowded in AM and box to box positions.
