20 | Bernardo Silva - 2022/23 Performances

[yankblue]

Reported on the BBC football gossip page today. "Manchester City's Portugal midfielderBernardo Silva, 28, is Paris St-Germain's top target as they look to replace 35-year-old Argentina forward Lionel Messi. (Le Parisien - in French)"

He can leave after he scores a hat trick in the final and if PSG give us 100m, Eva Green, and the Eiffel Tower

STAY

How much hard is to play against him? When he wants he is toying with full backs.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

See ,i was right , Mahrez should have started...................no nowt.

 

[ford7]

Legend.

 

[SebastianBlue]

What can be said that hasn’t already been said?

He is a brilliant footballer and, if he scored more—like tonight—I genuinely think he would be talked about in a similar regard to Messi.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

He has a kid on the way and they want to start their family somewhere they enjoy living. I respect it and I hope they get what they want and they are happier. It’s nothing to do with football. Footballers are human beings too. I respect it and wish him all the best as despite wanting to leave for 3 years he still gives everything and plays like this. He is a credit to himself and to this football club. He owes us nothing. Hopefully he can win us these titles and then we will drive you wherever you want to go (and not in the negative, ‘can’t wait to get rid of him’ way that that is usually said!)

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

I've never loved a player more. And it'll break my heart when he goes. But he's giving us everything he has. What a bloke.

 

[schfc6]

There’s City fans that didn’t want Bernardo to start a CL semi final tonight..

 

[WallyA]

In previous seasons, with Sane and Sterling, you can see the way we played was tailor made for quick in behind wingers.

But this current team values control wingers, and Bernie is so unbelievably good at this im kinda surprised we didnt do this early on.

Mahrez is a little as well, but Bernie is next level with control, and with age and experience means he can meaningfully add goals and assists too.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

What can be said that hasn’t already been said?

He is a brilliant footballer and, if he scored more—like tonight—I genuinely think he would be talked about in a similar regard to Messi.

I think he’ll have a genuine claim to be one of our greatest ever players when his time is done here; he’s astonishing and probably my favourite player I’ve seen play in blue now!

 

[MCFC1993]

Never been a player with his level of talent and his level of work-rate.

It's like playing with an extra player when he's playing.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Yet again a big game and he's bossing it. As I've said many times, we will win nothing without Bernardo.

I maintain my stance, we win nothing without Bernardo.

In the biggest of games Bernardo silva having a stormer is an absolute certainty.

I've bored even myself saying this but I will always repeat it, we won't win anything without Bernardo. Do whatever is necessary to get the beautiful bastard to sign a new deal and commit his best years here.

I'd volunteer to follow him around with a giant artificial sun for 4 years if it kept him here.

Once again, we win nothing without Bernardo. The man produces on the biggest stage time after time.

 

[citykos]

Bernardinho. What a man

 

[city2]

He has to stay cos he fucking hates the scousers and we love him.

 

[JDV]

I genuinely thought we would be better of starting Mahrez in this game. How wrong I was.

I-n-c-r-e-d-i-b-l-e

 

[FantasyIreland]

As i said pre match......cometh the hour,cometh the man.

A mesmerising wizard with the ball,but also a leader,a fighter,and an inspiration.....size means nothing to this warrior.

Please stay.

 

[Summerbuzz]

He is all he can be for this team.

 

[dennishasdoneit]

Absolutely Brilliant Performance.
What a Diamond he is.The header...so perfectly placed to loop and dip over the covering defender..Wow.
And that left foot finish.What a goal.
Superb finishing but so much more on the night from a player who loves the battle,loves the challenge...and loves City.
Bernardo Silva....Blues salute you.
