I wonder if we might try Sané on the right and Sterling on the left next season. Those two cutting in à la Robben and Ribery would mean Mendy and Cancelo (if we sign him) would be free to overlap rather than getting in the way. Would also mean more of Bernardo in the middle.
 
Germany have used Sane in a variety of positions in recent games and while everything has not always come off for him, he's looked a continued threat. He'll mature into a forward of enormous ability and we should hope it's in our shirt.

The thing is that Bernardo is more of a Robben than Sané is at the moment. The difference being Leroy has longer strides and more back lift to this shot. For a defender it's actually easier to anticipate when he'll shoot. Plus the fact that he's not as good at going to the right. If you watch the way Robben used to be unstoppable it's because you never knew when he was actually going to shoot. He could keep the ball close to him until he found the space to shoot. Bernardo is similar in that he has closer ball control and gets shots off quicker ala how he scored against the Rags and everyone blaming De Gea and Shaw. Plus Bernardo can go to this right if need be and get a cross off which makes him more unpredictable. If Leroy can work on some of these things then yeah because we know how dangerous he can be.

You are right but Sane played half the minutes Bernardo played and had more goals and assists I think than Bernardo in the league.

I'm simply stating why Leroy is not as good on the right and that Bernardo is a better option out there. Leroy is good on the left. I think that the absence of KDB is actually a big reason he didn't play a lot. KDB provides passes to him in space where he can do more damage. Without KDB we had to play a slower tempo which leads to opposition getting back into a low block. We needed to break this down and Bernardo was a better option at doing that.
