It's almost like starting 14 league games in a row during the most congested season in history is a bad thing and to avoid injuries and another 18 month burnout we should give him a break?

Or it’s exactly like whenever Aguero was injured the in the past and regardless of Jesus’s form he’d be straight back in as soon as he’s fit. You think Bernardo Rodri Gundogan are going to continue being our primary midfielders and that Pep is just using De Bruyne to rest Bernardo?

Funny, because other such players like Mahrez and Sterling seem to play the same amount of games but never get dropped ‘for a rest’. Or not in our important games anyway.
 
Thank-you lovely rags - you just may well have done us a huge favour. The winning-run monkey is off of our back before things get serious. And more fundamentally you have reminded everyone that whilst we have a good side that can sweep almost all before them domestically, we are not ever likely to succeed beyond that level with this current group of players.

We need to revert back to the proven win formula.

Since KDB has come back we only just scraped past West Ham,and Wolves,and on another day could have lost by 4,5,goals today.

We have just had a huge wake up call.

KDB does not just look unfit, he is looking really shit, and is constantly giving the opposition the Ball for quick counters in dangerous positions.

He needs Benching, and brought on for a few minutes here and there when games are won.

No way we carry on with this, or we could end up losing more games.

He does not deserve to start. He does not even deserve to come on as Sub based on recent shockingly bad performances.

He has turned in to a huge liability.

We have won nothing yet.

At the moment it's one of Gundogan or KDB and for me it's the former. The balance is better without KDB, it sounds insane to say it but it just is.

Some players are naturally fit. Sterling has managed to play 3 games a week for all 5 years of Pep's management.

Bernardo was out of form for 18 months straight after being played to death in 18/19. I know memories are short but fucking hell have you completely forgotten how out of form he was from August 2018-December 2020?

I don't want to lose Bernardo for another season and a half, and if we lose a game here or there while he's rested, I'll take that if we have to.

Positives -KDB got another 90 min in his legs to build up his match fitness although he did have a poor game overall.Very flat performance but not that important after the run and lead we have in the league,reminds me of when we beat them 4-1,it’s their cup final and keeps the postman in a job until the end of the season at least.

No idea why he looks like he is blowing out of his arse right from the Kick off.

Just looks permanently fucked last 3 games.

A poster commented he is playing like he looks like he is 45 years old.

Whats the plan with him here ?

Sacrifice the collective good of the team just to try and get a player fit for Euros.

That is exactly what we are doing.

He is not benefiting us.

This guy is so far off the pace he simply should not be starting.

Hopefully Pep regains a sense of reality.

Even on 70 minutes and 2-0 down we had the ball around the half way line and there was not a single option except sideways or backwards. It had been that way for long periods of the game. Not a single option of an over the top ball in behind. No movement ,no threat. Everything had to go through their 2 banks of 4 . Awful.

That 2nd goal was the final nail in our coffin today with Luke Shaw sat on it. We were never getting out of it.
 
Fucking fuming. The line up was wrong and what happened thereafter was so predictable. An utter scandal that Bernie so no action today.

Well we recall things very differently mate. Based on the ground he covers I’d say Bernardo is our fittest player and I’d say he was out of form after a literal 3 month media campaign smearing him as a racist. With performances like today it’s actually Sterling, Mahrez and Kevin that need a 3 or 4 game break.

Its crazy how we have been vulnerable to counter attacks since KDB is back too. It's simply not working with KDB in this system.
Back to what we were doing best Rodders, Gundogan and Bernardo.
