You look at Grealsih and Mahrez they are unique for a pep player that they have a position on the pitch and never move to either side! You look at Sterling Jesus foden and now Alvarez they can play either side, so when you ain’t pulling up trees in the only position you play in a pep side it’s inevitable you going to be subbed or benched..

Also Grealish buy was city thinking Silva will be sold already and looking at option city though Grealish was thee option and why we spent 100m on him..
I agree the club thought Bernardo was leaving hence why we bought him but it was a strange choice of a replacement, the difference is like chalk and cheese.

Bernardo has magnificent technic and a work rate that is simply incredible added to amazing versatility, Grealish is very good technically but work rate is questionable and so far we have only see him play in one position.
 
I don’t think we’ll see him at his best until he’s played deeper, so we might as well get used to him being a valued player in Pep’s system but doing nothing spectacular for the time being. Must be frustrating for him but looks like he’s carrying out instructions to the letter.
 
Guardiola tasks players to hold the wing, at all costs, and thus create width, which the other midfielders then have to exploit. It’s little wonder, then, that the players who are historically criticised for their apparent lack of work rate are those same players who are told to stay on the wing; even Bernardo is much more subdued when he starts on a wing compared to when he is given the freedom to roam.

" Bernardo is much more subdued when he starts on a wing compared to when he is given the freedom to roam."

That's simply not true, even out wide his work off the ball is insane.
