I don’t think Bernardo is the problem…..it’s the combination when he is paired with Gundogan against the better teams.We see Bernardo’s contribution very differently.
If we use these measures, he therefore had the unluckiest spell he has ever had for most of the season, so couldn't be blamed for being in that position in the first place. We can all play subjective bingo.That was the luckiest spell he has ever had in charge . Outplayed for the most part with other teams just unable to put the ball in the net . Crystal Palace at home an example. A circus . They should have been 4 nil up . Forest in the cup another example . Luck finally ran out in the final.
he's not worth your time!If we use these measures, he therefore had the unluckiest spell he has ever had for most of the season, so couldn't be blamed for being in that position in the first place. We can all play subjective bingo.
The match day threaders need somewhere to relieve their negativity needs in the close season. Don't go inthe matchday threads anymore but I'd bet some of the usernames match up.They're all on holiday. We are in July. Can't we save the moaning until the season starts?
Unluckiest spell ? What a cop out . It was on the manager and the club not investing . Being too loyal to players whose bodies were not able . Not signing a Rodri back up thinking he could play another 60 games etc .If we use these measures, he therefore had the unluckiest spell he has ever had for most of the season, so couldn't be blamed for being in that position in the first place. We can all play subjective bingo.
Been so long since I, or my adult kids, had to worry about school calendars, I hadn’t noticed. Thanks for pointing out his teachers weren’t keeping an eye on him!Don't know about over there bud but schools out here in Scotland with England & Wales running the clock down. You can always tell.
They both have roles to play. The question is whether Pep can afford those two as foreign slots next season.I don’t think Bernardo is the problem…..it’s the combination when he is paired with Gundogan against the better teams.
We can only afford one in the starting 11.
I think Bernardo has still got great energy and his ball retention is second to none.
For what it’s worth I still think Gundogan has a place in the squad but not as a starter.
Yes. Great start & he’s probably plotting more right nowWhat a start for him. New signings all shining today.
It’s mad to think we got Cherki, Reijnders and Ait-Nouri for the price of Wirtz.
Ooops that was quick - McAtee gone. Sad to lose him but he’s had a a couple of seasons on loan at Sheffield & hadn’t really been able to replace any of our existing players.Yes. Great start & he’s probably plotting more right now
It’s Wirtz it!What a start for him. New signings all shining today.

It’s a licence to lose money.The key management position at a football club is recruitment. Any idiot could be a CEO of a successful football club. It's a licence to print money.
Khusanov came on as sub vs Wolves and is learning, Reis is very young and has gone out on loan to learn. Nico G started vs Wolves and played really well.100% awesome additions.
I think questions will and should be asked regarding Khusanov, Reis and Nico G however. £120m or so worth of players there and none can get a game.
Of those three, one started and one came on as sub vs Wolves, so be amazed.Based on the last few weeks I'd be feckin amazed if Khusanov/Reis and Gonzales are still around come September.
For whatever reason Pep just isn't interested in playing them - so no sense them hanging around.
I wonder if there's a disconnect between Viana working on "data" signings (assuming he had input in January), and what Guardiola actually sees. If that is the case we're screwed until one of them leaves
Glad this post has been resurrected, superb day for HV yesterday and can see the quality these new players have. Positive.What a start for him. New signings all shining today.

Hugo is building his vision now and probably easier with txiki not around?
I'd say so, yeah.
At the end of the day, he's his own DoF, the club will have known that and likely interviewed a load of people interested in joining but were on board with Viana's vision above any.
It's exciting times. Again.
