20 | Bernardo Silva - 2024/25

[Alan Harper's Tash]

He's a player opposition fans hate because of his niggly fouls, but who cares, the little man has been a legend for City. Whilst he has dropped below his usual standards this season, it will be a sad day when he leaves.

I certainly don’t. We need more like him, not less.

 

[Stelea]

Excellent today but that shouldn’t paper over the cracks

 

[Delphinho]

Brilliant performance, love how he dropped deeper to help out Khusanov right after his mistake

 

[YatesA]

Sensational today, back to his older form, was everywhere, get rodri back and bernardo beside him no worries.

MOTM in my opinion

From a 4/10 to a 9/10 in three days.

 

[McfcBibby]

Welcome back Bernie

 

[Frankie lad]

This bloke is statue status.
Love the way he came back to aid Khusa in the first third of the game.

 

[Keeper!]

Rolled back the years with a magnificent performance and made me wonder if we are making a mistake if we move him on in the summer.

 

[BlueMoonAcrossThePond]

Great job from Silva today. Perhaps Khusanov's terrible start contributed to Silva's excellent play - knowing that he'll need to cover for a young defender, lacking in confidence from a terrible first few minutes of the game.

 

[Stelea]

Back to being Bernie yesterday. Brilliant

 

[normskih]

A great performance and I have never written a word against Silva on this forum.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Fucking brilliant yesterday. Proved beyond doubt that he is a central midfielder (deep lying or further forward, or both) not a winger. Those who said he should never play for City again, INCLUDING ON TWATTER, can hang their heads in shame

Imo, Bernie is as good as David and has had more big game performances than David. David was better in some respects, Bernie is better in other. He was our MOTM in many big games vs the likes of Liverpool, Bayern, Real. In terms of big game performances he's up there with our best players ever.

Anyone still on Twitter in general should hang their heads in shame

Just for anyone who didn’t see it, the most famous special poster on here said Ederson Bernardo Lewis Akanji Nunes and 2 others shouldn’t play for City again. I am shit on twatter X but can’t find it again but I was disgusted

Its one good performance in the probably the last 18mths, lets not get too carried away.

Playing him deep to set us going was a masterstroke and one we need more of imo.

He ain’t any use on the wing. Anywhere central or deep is where Bernie comes into his own linking up play.

No more wing pep.

Yeah exactly, let’s not be positive let’s always accentuate the negative. If you think Bernardo has only had one good performance in the last 18 months you’re as fucking daft as I think you are

He’s never been a natural winger, but does what he’s asked to do for the team. An absolute fucking legend of Manchester City
