He's no longer a wide player. Has lost his ability to dribble and beat a man.

Taking off Savinho and putting Bernardo wide left me dumbstruck. All he did was slow the tempo, edge forward, turn and pass back to Khusanov.

He can, but he needs players nearby to under lap as he’s not a crosser of a ball.

Someone like Nunes would work well with Bernardo, but we took him off.

It used to be KDB, but he can’t do that much anymore. :-(
 
He looks like he would rather be anywhere else than on the pitch. The buzz and energy had as well as the guile to slalom round players and get involved in intricate moves around the box have disappeared. Genuinely looks like hes not slept for months.
 
Refuse to write him off but he needs to be benched for the rest of the season. Used off the bench like he was at spurs when we need a bit of control.

Just looks absolutely drained.

He looks in bad shape and condition for a normal bloke in the street, let alone a professional footballer.
 
Bernardo has been a great player for us, and key to our success. The game has changed, and he has not. He is increasingly marked by two highly athletic players and he has the ball nicked from him far more often than ever. He has, possibly as a consequence, become more conservative in his play and is holding possession for too long. I believe it to be the end of his era, but we should celebrate what a player he has been.
That is not allowed here, it is more about getting cheap digs in

Those doing the digging would not last 5 mins in a game at the level these lads play, it is why they dig partly.
 
What happened today?

Came on, strolled around at low speed, then went off.
 
When he got injured he was struggling immediatley, but kept hobbling around, bending over, lifting his leg etc. He should have just sat down and stopped the game. Wasted over 5mins and then when Pep kept trying to get his attention he kept ignoring him and hobbled around. Even when he went off he stood in the sideline raising his arms whingeing about something. Can't understand the naivety of our players at times. Sit down, stop the game, get treatment or go off. Its not rocket science.
 
This thread really sums up our pathetic support for our team and players. Bernardo is one of our greatest ever players and I hope he stays after this season.

No other player plays with the intelligence he has. No one slots in at right back without being told. His performance in the champions league semi against Madrid was utterly outstanding, City’s greatest ever performance.

The disrespect shown on here is so unfair. He’s not made of glass and hasn’t been missing for any significant period and actually earned his wages. What a fantastic professional he has been for City. Maybe he’d have been appreciated more if he’d have gone on a summer-long bender after winning the treble?

He’s not had a great season but no player has. I’m convinced he’ll be back next year.
