Perhaps just for one game (or at least one half) we switch things up a little bit with Kdb playing deeper and closer to Rodri while Bernie plays the advanced role. Anyway I believe transition to a deeper role would happen naturally as Kdb is the older player and wouldn't have the legs to keep driving forward all the time.
I think that would work much better,its criminal that we blunt such an attacking and creative genius.
 
Don't talk daft,we are the best team in Europe,CL favourites every season,and have a manager 99% want to play for.

Icklecityitis is strong in you.
Big team, big coach, big money, but we've not established ourselves as a really big club yet. We'll get there, but it will take time.

As they say, Real Madrid wasn't built in a day.

Pep's successors will have the job of maintaining and improving current levels. That's the test.
 
As long as people (fans and media) keep saying that KDB is our best player, Bernardo will feel undervalued.

We may be regarded as the best team in Europe, but like it or not, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and to a lesser extent Bayern Munich, will always be regarded by players as the best clubs in Europe. Clubs where players seem to have the best chance to win the Ballon D'or. Sad but true.

We're years behind those clubs in terms of trophies, numbers of fans, size and quality of stadiums. We're the new boys, just like Chelsea. We haven't got anywhere near the level of history or credibility around the world as RM or Barcelona.

The world of football is well aware of the emergence of City as a potential power, but they'll no doubt be watching and waiting to see what happens when Pep moves on.

Don't be fooled into thinking we're as attractive to European / South American players players as the Spanish 'elite'.

Bernardo Silva would be a superstar at Real or Barcelona, and if the terms were right, he'd probably walk there to play for them.
And yet Haaland. (a future Ballon D'or contender) has chosen us over every other "big club".

On the basis that Pep stays, and the ridiculous wage package of course.

Mark my words... if he maintains current levels, Haaland will be a Real Madrid player in about 4 or 5 years. It's virtually every top player's ambition.

Enjoy hin while he's here. If he actually comes that is.

We are a big club, that's why the media houses and the other clubs in England and across Europe are worried!
There's a reason why outside the UK no one really cared about the QPR project, same can be said about the bundesliga, except for the Germans no one really cared about RB Leipzig "ruining" football but with us we had Platini, UEFA, Laliga, Bundesliga and the PL/British media against us, that's because they all know we are an attractive option, a big club that has undergone and is still undergoing a phenomenal transformation.

Now if you had said we were a sleeping giant in the past then yes I might have agreed with that but to say we are a small club, nah!

There are plenty of world-class players that haven't had their heads turned and gone to Madrid. On your basis, that every player wants to play there, they would have the strongest and best team in Europe.. they haven't.

I never said we are a small club. We're probably bigger now than at any point in our history. We're just not as big a club in world terms as the long established 'elite'... yet.

As I say.... the real test starts when Pep leaves. Give it another 10 years and we can start strutting around a bit more.

The real test started when Bobby humiliated the rags twice! we have been doing well ever since and we would still be properly managed when Pep leaves. Don't forget the brilliant youth set up also. Everything is in place to ensure success, I would bet that in the next 10 years we would win at least 7 pl titles.
