lazy **** :-)He's just been on holiday for 3 months...
Bernardo has basically zero pace. The reason he is being pushed out to wings is because of his ball retention and his dribbling, along with his defensive work.
but Bernardo's dribbling is sorta like Kevin's (even though Bernardo has a better close control) It is not like Mahrez's.
please answer my previous question:
How would Kevin perform if he was rotated primary on the wings for the best part of 1 year and a half?
Bernardo Silva told ManCity.com: "You have some areas on the pitch where you feel a little bit more comfortable, but me I've played almost all my career on the right side as an offensive midfielder, or number 8. That's where I feel more comfortable.
I don't get the point you're trying to make? You've literally just quoted Bernardo saying he's comfortable playing in a number of positions? And now you want me to say playing in a number of positions has affected him?! You want me to directly contradict Bernardo's own words?
Also, some players are more versatile than others. Bernardo is likely more versatile than KDB, as by his own admission he's been comfortable playing a number of positions throughout his career. Also, fwiw, I think KDB would be fine if asked to be on the right and whip crosses in, but once again, a weird comparison that ignores the fact that everyone is unique.
Bernardo was excellent out wide last season. I watched the games. I saw it with my own eyes. As did we all.
Wing or midfield?
which is his best position?
You've gone back into FIFA mode. The role he plays on the right of our front 3 is almost identical to the one he played on the right of the 442 at Monaco.
I remember an interview from a few months ago where he admitted that they 'gave up' on the title race too soon. That could maybe indicate mental fatigue or apathy once he (and perhaps some of our other players) accepted Liverpool were gonna win basically every game.Yeah I agree. As I said though, it was a vaguely legit one that could be argued. Certainly can't anymore though.
Personally though I think most of the team started to look defeated after the Norwich and Wolves losses... Just speculating, but maybe the lack of confidence in the defence + the pressure Liverpool were applying affected him more than a lot of the others. If you're already underperforming, and you look back and see Otamendi sliding about on his arse and Mendy giving the ball away about 10 times a game while Liverpool aren't dropping a single point, you're could, whether it be conciously or subconciously, start feeling a bit defeated.

The guy literally says that he has played all of his career at:
playing RW in a Pep team means being isolated by the touchline for long parts of a game.
Bernardo's dribbling + his close control is the main reason Pep puts him on the RW and not Kevin.
Kevin's position:

we do not play the same way as Monaco you know that right?You've gone back into FIFA mode. The role he plays on the right of our front 3 is almost identical to the one he played on the right of the 442 at Monaco.

Ezzy mate, get back to your football manager games lad because real football and real facts is obviously not for you.
Bernardo said in the interview you quoted he is comfortable playing on the right offensively and in the middle of the park as an 8. He said both are where he feels most comfortable. He had barely if ever played central midfield before coming to City and his best time in a City shirt, the 2019 run in, he was playing 99% of it on the RW. He is a very good central midfielder. He is a very good attacking midfielder ON THE RIGHT. Like he said in the interview you quote.
If you want to keep ignoring this, thats fine, but maybe this forum is not for you.
