Bernardo & singling players out

Postby PrezIke » Sat Oct 24, 2020 9:07 pm

Some of usl want to keep finding scape goats but no one wants to talk about this man.

1 or maybe 2 good performances in almost 1 year.

Sterling has done so much more for us for longer, and carries this team far too often, but gets blamed.

I am a massive supporter of his, but why is he not being singled out in the same way then?

Btw, I think things can change, and the real point is singling 1 or 2 players for our problems I find to be short sided.

When Baldie will actually play Bernie in his normal position we can judge him.

On the right wing instead of centrally? I agree.

He had a poor game last night, but he was against a bank of 4 with 5 behind and expected to be our sole creative midfielder since Gundo and Rodri don’t move us at all. On top of that he was aiming for 3 static players up top.

Get him next to Kev with only one holding player for a few games then let’s revisit this topic for me.

Possibly the most sensible post of the day, possibly the week.

In other news, Mahrez has been quoted by French press......

"Paris is my City, I'm under contract to Manchester City but if PSG knocked at the door I wouldn't close it" (or words to that effect)

Poor Bernado has no idea what he is supposed to be doing in Einstiens system.

His form has nose dived because of Pep obsession with playing inverted wingers,and playing players out of postion in it

Why the fuck does he keep signning players we assume to play in their natural postion..Then point blank reuse to play them there with us.

Sterling another example. Week ater week same old,same old.

14 shots and 1 target.

18 months of rinse and repeat,And it is getting worse.

He is not learnning.And that is worrying.

Trying to get him to give Foden an extended run in his natural postion,would be easier getting teeth extracted.

Pep thinks i can not do that,one my Favourites will lose a place.

lol. Mate i have defended Gundo. You are correct, yet it was not that he was without flaws, but that he has qualities as well. Surrounded by others who can cover for his weaknesses then he can have his value. His assist ability has dropped significantly and lest we not forget he had some serious injuries.

That brings me to Sane. Who also tore his ACL. That's the same injury that Gundo, Mendy, and now VVD have experienced. Players who rely less on pace, from what I have seen, can still be similar as Gundo has, but even he is not the same player he was before the injuries.

Leroy may show some quality but let's see. Meanwhile Sterling was playing brilliantly for us for a long while, and his finishing was being credited as improved, yet some want to say it has not.

To me sports fans love to find scape goats when things go wrong. It's natural, but also we have to check our emotions.

I react strong to defend criticisms of players, but do not mistake that for not criticising them either.

Sterling can problematic as well. Don't get me wrong. I see it, yet what is going on is also we have no striker fit to play,.

I watch YouTube videos with CityXtra whinging on about Delap not playing.

No one I read who says this ever seems to take into account the hierarchy of a team made up of "nice guys" but still with massive egos.

Managers have to MANAGE that. It isn't fantasy football like fans want it to be. These are real people with emotions that can impact the entire squad.

You drop Mahrez, who may be a bit tempramental, or whoever else has been as key players during title winning seasons, and think of themselves as great, and aren't exactly shite and then drop them so easily. See what happens. Where is any players' faith that the manager will back them when they are struggling? They may decide to not stay and that causes other problems in the changing room.

I NEVER HEAR ANYONE WHO WHINGES ON ABOUT PLAYER PERFORMANCES AND MANAGERS EVER MENTION THIS REALITY.

Geeeeeez, some fellas will never learn.

The issue isn't the players, you can single out various players, there are one or two that are utter shite whatever position you'll play them, they're still shite and need moving on.

The problem is Pep, formations, tactics, stubborness, motivation, commitment.

I've been saying it for a long time, the main issue isn't the players, referee's or VAR, we can go in circles and just keep kidding ourselves.

The only way we can move forward, Pep changes, commits himself for long haul, adapts new ideas and that's not over tinkering. Otherwise it's time to move on, new coach, new ideas then we can genuinely assess all the players

Agree. We have good players.
I have a very simple view on football.
Good players need a good manager and a good manager needs good players. Two sides to it and both sides must be at it 100%.
At the moment, our manager is not performing well enough and is letting the players down.
If he cant sort it it's time for a change.
And I dont want him gone I just want him to do his job properly, but it's not looking good.

I hear you but a large part of the point was whoever you are more biased against is who gets singled out.

I'm not saying it's all his fault of course, but he has arguably been a far worse contributor for a longer period than Sterling, yet there's radio silence from a lot of fans.

I'm saying some want to point fingers, which I think can be misguided, but if we use that logic why is he not being given the same hairdryer treatment?

And those saying Bernardo should be played in his position to defend him argument...

ummm...

How about Sterling as well??

All of these arguments are flawed and some of us don't want to admit anything ever or acknowledge being wrong or anything other than yell at everyone and blame anyone who disagrees as a blind fool.
