Bernardo Silva: “Something has to change. You learn who you can go to war with, first of all"

IF there are any cunts they will be gone in the summer and it won't matter how big they are.
I just don’t know who exactly would be the trouble makers in the squad. Maybe some differences of opinion but I just don’t see a repeat of the Scouse v France cliques we had in the 2000s. Surely if there were problem players we would look at who hasn’t been playing but really Grealish? Gonzalez? Khusanov?

I’m at a loss.

I do wonder if Pep is playing Kev full time to prove a point though.

Genuine question.

Pep picking KDB because he wants him to stay? Wants us to see how much his form has dropped off? Wants the hierarchy to know we need a younger world class replacement as we are woefully short of a creative player?

I just don’t know but he shouldn’t be on 100% for every game. He was clearly tired halfway through that second half and started missing the most basic passes.
 
The dressing room is rotten. Not a leader in sight, half of them knowing they are done at the club, and the other half not good enough. When one of your most experienced players says it’s rotten it might be good to listen.

When you have your highest paid player on a 9 year contract and is suddenly too terrified to take a penalty it’s quite obvious which players you wouldn’t want to go to war with.

The last paragraph is spot on. I’m still in shock he didn’t want to take it. Unforgiveable.
 
Think there's a few players in our squad that think they've made it because they play for City, and perhaps aren't really putting in the work to continue to progress and have the desire to win trophies

The problem is, the players that fit that mould, have either gone in the last few years, or are coming to the end of their time here

Bernardo, Kev, Gundogan, Walker etc leaving is the right thing to do, but it's quite frightening to look at the lack of winning mentality without them, and the lack of experience and potential desire

The likes of Foden, Dias, Gvardiol, Haaland should be carrying that mantle, but I'm not convinced it's in their nature

First thing we should do in the summer is make Rodri club captain

My guess is that Pep has a strong bond with the players who've performed for him consistently over the years and have played a major role in his success.

Bernardo definitely falls into that category and even though he's talking a good game, he's played in the vast majority of our poor performances this season.
