He’s not necessarily better than Sterling but tactically he’s essential to City IMO.. without him they look much easier to contain.
I don't think he is to be honest. Sterling on the left and Bernardo on the right is our best combination. They're both very direct, tactically astute and difficult to deal with. I don't think Bernardo is appreciated enough, he's barely been mentioned in discussions for PFA PoTY but he's been as good as Sterling who has had a lot of talk. Shows it's a popularity contest as much as anything else.
