Which player will improve the most this season?

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Several players will be as good as last season or there abouts and will be regular starters. Some need to improve to start games as the competition has never been higher. Foden Diaz Delph Danillo will need to take their chances to impress, Mendy Sterling and even David Silva too, such is the high competition of just getting in the match day squad.

But the player who I see making the biggest improvement in his game is Bernardo. Easily MOtM Sunday and if he gets more game time in central midfield he could be our POtS.

Roll on Sunday: )

I feel it's B Silva too. Maybe just off his performance at the charity shield so it's fresh in the memory. But he Never reached the height I expected Of him last season. Not totally his fault, as it's his first season here, almost always starting from the bench and the direct competition in the squad that is breaking almost all PL records along the way to a title. I feel his close control and dribbling is superb and right up there with anyone else we have in the team. This season he will show us why we paid so much for him. He will improve the most imo.

In all honesty there are probably other good candidates like leroy and gab. Maybe sterling too but he was already producing at a insane level last season, improving on that would surely put him at world class level so it's gonna be difficult.

Bernardo for me. My pal slated him at times last season, whereas I was more of the thought he needed a season to bed in. I think he will be one of the stars of the entire league this season.

And Mendy. Like a brand new signing.

 

[richards30]

Laporte for me with special mentions for Bernardo Silva and mahrez

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

Thinking Bernardo but hoping Sane. He's got everything he needs to be a £200mil player, just needs to be more consistent and score more. If he progresses like he can, he's a 25 goal a season player.

 

[Indaparkside]

Mahrez will be sensational

 

[Blue Til Death]

Bernardo for me, already looking imperious in midfield and can see him getting better as the season progresses..

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Stones is a player who could improve the most, it really is difficult to say, But any slackers won't be giving too much game time. We have no one going through the motions like yaya did last season.

Mahrez has the class to rediscover his form when he was a key player in Leicester winning the league.

I really am looking forward to Sunday.
Come on City!!!!

Sterling needs to add one more thing to his game - clinical finishing, he can get over 20 goals a season for us I'm sure

 

[baggy]

Gundogan.

Big season for him needed. Got a feeling he may see much more game time this season and will make an impact.

 

[BigOscar]

Depends if Pep actually plays Bernardo centrally or if he's kept out hugging the touchline. If he gets plenty of time centrally then he can be the best player in the league.

I think Mendy will be huge though if he can stay fit. To go from Delph, who couldn't really attack at all, to Mendy, who is full on rampage, will add a completely extra dimension to the team. Can't wait

 

[lightning Rodri]

Leroy Sane.

 

[domalino]

I think it'll be Aguero.

A starting striker in a team this good, scoring this many goals under Pep should be getting 50 goals a season, and with his knee fixed up and better than ever, I think Sergio will do it this year.

Sterling's great return last season, Sané's recognition as YPOTY and the addition of Mahrez should help as well, more time spent focusing on how to stop them will mean less attention of Aguero.

 

[urban genie]

Don't think Bernad need improving much he was a class act when we signed him and his first touch and close control is some.of tge best I habe seen in a blue short already last season, but does need more games in his better position inside rather than out wide.

Foden naturally to progress amd I think Laporte will gradually become the player his potential promised to be 2 years ago.
Jesus to imporve all round game also

 

[mccity]

I think De Bruyne.

I don't truly believe he's a real CM yet. Every now and again he'll still do something that's a bit questionable and you realise a lot of it stems from how he's not much over a year gone from being a wide attacking midfielder.

As last season went on, even though his performances dipped due to fatigue, he did seem to play more intelligently.

I think there's a ceiling higher up than we think with this guy.


Failing that, Walker or Aguero. Walker's had a lot of work to do to adapt this last year, also didn't benefit from being a bit overplayed and playing in an asymmetrical full back system all the time.

Aguero's got his knee fixed too. That could be big.


I suspect if we have another good season there'll be a lot of players improving in all honesty. I mean, who didn't improve last season to some degree of the players who featured last season?

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

if the top 3 aren't Sane, Jesus and Gundy they and we have an issue

 

[g2aham]

John Stones
I think his confidence just looks sky high
Didn't get the credit he deserved for England in the summer as the press were wanking over Maguire but I thought he was much the better player.
Having the backing of Pep to play his game and not be slated for the odd mistake has really seen him mature
We saw it last season before his injury and I think this season we could really see him come of age
His reading of the game has improved and he just looks like he has an air of complete control and a supreme belief with the ball at his feet
The heir to Vinnie's throne

I can't disagree with any of that mate. I can see him being played in Fernandino's position as well and looking like he could even be the heir to his throne. Whatever, Stones will be a natural captain in the future I think.

 

[Aytoun]

Laporte for me. Already he is looking like something very, very special. If he continues to improve as he has done working with Pep & the team so far, then watch out!

 

[doobyedoobye]

The fact that so many players have been mentioned on this thread shows how much better we could (will) play this season compared to last, which is frightening..
