    Think he was on to Motm if he wasn't taken off, some of his touches were class, and his work rate is absolutely bang on. Folk been * on here about him not being a starter lol, he was immense. Headache for Brendan to pick the midfield at the moment, but we'll obviously need the depth as the season progresses.

    Hatate is just inconsistent, we know how class he can be so the bar is always set high for him. A lot of competition in midfield which is brilliant with all the games coming up.

    Good * headache. Bernardo has a level in him that’s exceptional I think, it comes out in bursts and when it’s not its very contained and just standard acceptable.

    He’ll be looking at it that O’Riley’s place is his to win even with £11m players being brought in.

    I said it when he first arrived, and I stick by it. He is a class act for someone so young.

    He will be a star for us.

    Good thing is he's still nowhere near getting to his peak level, he could go on to be proper top class by European standards. And looks like he has the mentality to get there.

    Said at start of the summer even 6 mil was a bargain, 3.5 is * daylight robbery. Another piece of phenomenal work by the club.

    In short... We need to commit to developing our younger players... Couldn't agree any more, 100% agreement... Other than that, I thought he was exceptional... Nitpicking to find issues with what he gave us today

    He’s quality. Brilliant today, brilliant last week and brilliant when he played last season. Seems so underrated by some of the support. Today will change that I’m sure.

    He might just be the signing of the summer to be honest. Oozes class. Does all the simple things well. Cultured.

    Never seen a player adapting so quickly (read - in no time at all) into the new team/system/whatever else...
    From day one he looked like he's been here for years.
    Exceptional.

    If it wasn't for being subbed off early, probably due to lack of match fitness, he was on course for MOTM. Thought he was absolutely superb for 60 mins

    Seems to have more aggression than O'Reilly did which I like, clearly a reason he is the under 21 captain for Portugal. He has something about him.

    Thought he was excellent today. The best part of his performance though was him sprinting off the bench and down the line to celebrate when McGregor scored :57::56:

    A coming of age performance today, had a bit of everything.
    Could turn out to be the best bit of business from the window. Very encouraging and hope he kicks on from here.

    Scored a banger against them last season .
    Set up Idah at Ibrox with a real quality pass.
    Skins a couple and bangs one from 20 yards leading to cup winning goal.
    Bossed it today .
    Hunskelping apprenticeship in full swing .

    We are absolutely spoiled for quality options in midfield. I think it would very unfair for Bernardo not to start the next run of games after his last couple of performances, particularly today. I said it in the match threat, he was man of the match by a mile.

    His willingness to take the ball in tight spaces, hold players off and pick the right pass is a joy to watch. He was also an absolute terrier without the ball - lost count how many times he won the ball back for us.

    I think he will be important for us throughout the season and I think he will get the nod for Champions League games away from home. He’s more box to box than Hatate which will be needed.
