#20 | Bernardo Silva - 2020/21 Performances

[Mike N]

Bernardo remains one of my favourite players. Hope he stays till we win the European Cup.

Walker did ok

Apart from the important bit, their goal, where he was caught out. Otherwise he was probably our biggest attacking threat, but first and foremost he's a full back, and was out of the game when the ball broke forward.

Pep's having a hard time trying to find a formation that suits all of Gundo, Kevin and Bernie. There are rumours Bernie considers to leave, probably because Pep uses him mostly as a work horse expected to press the shit out of the opposition.

If both Bernie and Jesus leave, we'll lose two of the hardest working players in the team. Obviously, we wouldn't want to let Bernie move, but he and Kevin don't seem to fit together. Bernie was at his very best when Kevin was injured out.

Shouldn't have come off in the final. He is the one man we needed most on that pitch. Runs after every lost cause, keeps the ball well and breaks teams down.

It was shocking that Sterling started over Ferny/Rodri but equally shocking that Bernardo came off first.

When De Bruyne then got injured we were seriously lacking in guile to make things happen. He could have been the man to find some little magic between Mahrez and Jesus that got us a goal.

We can't let him leave, he has been instrumental in all of our success at home and in Europe through his engine and ability to keep the ball.

More than that, he is just a beautiful little human.

They fit just fine in a false 9. With either taking the role.

He's had a great season but he was absolutely anonymous in the final and barely touched the ball

How has he had a great season?

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

How has he had a great season?

Highest points-per-game of any midfield player in Europe. We almost never lose when he plays

offers nothing going forward other than running around a lot and not getting near anybody because he's to slow, 2 goals all season is abysmal

I don't think you can blame him for that. He put in some excellent tackles trying to recover the ball but who was playing well?

Sterling actually played okay but at the expense of the rest of the team. Everyone could have played better but when you ask them to perform in a game of that magnitude in a completely different system then you have to expect some will struggle.

We also rarely lose with him in the team and he should have stayed on to try and keep that run going!
