Kevin and Bernardo both play on the right Side, Aouar plays on the left side, Foden can play both sides.
Gundogan is awful as an 8 and and just alright as a 6.
Unless he wants to spend most of his time on the bench, like in the first part of the 18/19 season, he will be sold.
Pep is definitely biased toward Gundogan, it's pretty much his adopted son at this rate. Gundogan is very smart and great technically, but he has nowhere near the required intensity and physicality for the PL. Hopefully Pep realises this. Europe Gundog is a different breed, he's not suited for PLhopefully gundogan will be sold - flattered to deciece - maybe cause of the injury but thats football - he aint suited to this league and doesnt have the intensity needed -
No idea about Aouar - just seen the youtube vid's but always wary of them
Is that code for “Gundo is fucking wank”?Pep is definitely biased toward Gundogan, it's pretty much his adopted son at this rate.

It's the code for Gundogan can't play as an 8 in the PL because he's too slow and unmobile. He also lacks intensity required for the PL. But in the 6 role he becomes a different player, much better. However he definitely needs to be shielded by his teammates because he can't defend counters. Gundogan would be a star in the Serie A or La Liga where it's intensity and pressing, but more focus on tactics and football iqIs that code for “Gundo is fucking wank”?

Looks great. Maybe time to slowly integrate Doyle and Bernanbe at the 8 positions as well like we did with Foden. I think Bernardo left and KDB right has potential as well, we become a lot more direct in attack with Rodri and Gundogan more than capable of dictating tempo from deep between the CB'sFernandinho won’t be playing midfield and will be a squad player helping out at centre back / play cup matches in his last season , so in effect we would have lost 2 midfielders in fern and silva .. so we will have 2 defensive midfielders in rodri / gundogan who can play there , Bernado and Kev play on the right of midfield and this lad who plays on the left of the midfield and also can play deeper and there is also Foden ! What a fantastic midfield 6 that would be ..2 for each position it’s a long old season and pep isn’t bad at rotating as the trophies he’s won have shown !!

It's weird how reluctant Pep is to play Bernardo as the left 8, I think he'd do great there. When KdB and Bernardo have played together in midfield it's been more of a 4231 with KDB as a 10 and Bernardo in the double pivot. I mean it has worked great but why waste Bernardo's world class attacking qualitiesyep gundogan for me plays a lot better when he’s on his own in that holding midfielder role , he was immense playing there when we won the last 14 games in a row to win the prem , watching him and Rodri together is painful tho and needs to be one or the other I agree Been suprised we didn’t see more of Bernado and kev together in midfield this season , don’t think pep likes Bernado on the left , this is where this lad from Lyon would fit in perfectly .

That's true, he's world class as the right 8 almost every time but that's KDB's position. Hopefully Bernado can transition into David's role. He definitely got the feet, vision and creativity to do so. His ball carrying skills could be very nice from the left, his delivery from the left has been good tooI agree about Gundogan but we need to get rid this summer and bring in a younger deputy for Rodri. Gundo will turn 30 in Oct, with a 3 year contract left. Once Rodri adapts I doubt gundo will get much game time at CDM, like last season before dinho broke down in Jan
Bernardo is more comfortable/effective on the right side of midfield(so is Kevin) where he can cut in more frequently. So quite simply they both love to occupy the same space.
He is one player not going anywhere while pep is at city .Pep is definitely biased toward Gundogan, it's pretty much his adopted son at this rate.

He has contributed a whopping 2 goals and 1 asisst as an 8 this season from 21 PL games. Hopefully he plays as a 6 next season or we get rid. But Pep has a known fetish of playing him as a left 8He is one player not going anywhere while pep is at city .

Pep loves to stick to his slow ball playing midfielders, even when it doesn't seem to work. It could almost be considered self destructive behaviour at this rate if you look at some big games where he has persisted with Gundogan as an 8 and Rodri. I'm suprised we haven't seen more of a David, Gundogan and Rodri midfield. I love Pep but some decisions he makes are hard to graspA "fetish", hopefully just a rumour.

Not meant to say it in such a negative manner. But Gundo will have to compete against potentially 6 people for the CAM spot, and Pep has shown that Rodri is the first choice DM.a lot of people saying get rid of gundogan need to have a look a themselves, wouldn’t have won the league without his influence, im yet to see what what rodri does
