I think some of our best performances last season happened with a midfield 3 of Gundogan-Rodri-Bernie and KdB as the false 9.It is so good to see Bernardo back to his very best. His form along with the great play of Rodri has played a massive part in our recent brilliant performances. I don't know what will happen when Gundogan is fit again but they should both definitely be in our first eleven on present form.
Better midfield controllers, and KdB is a great goal scorer around the box but can also drop deep and create as he does, also puts less onus on him to sprint back and defend as he is getting older.
Grealish can rotate in Foden's LW spot or Gundogan LCM spot.
Ferran can rotate with KdB when we want a real striker and is 9 years younger so has age on his side to develop his game in the center.
Edit: In fact last season when we won 2 out of 4 trophies and only lost to Chelsea who made us lose out on the FA Cup (in semis) and Champions League... in both games Pep moved away from our dominant midfield 3 that was destroying teams. We need that midfield dynamic back and we saw that today, I think Grealish can do the business in there.
