20 | Bernardo Silva - 2023/24

[come-on-barney]

Totally determined today, he wasn’t settling for anything but a win.

 

[Gabriel]

Lovely strike for the goal on Sunday but a better weighted pass in the first half doesn’t push Foden as wide and creates a better scoring opportunity.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Should have cleared the ball at the end. Why try and turn the defender there.

I agree but it was a clear foul on him and a free kick should have been given

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Love him to bits, but that's twice in a row at home that we've lost out on 2 points, partly because he won't clear the fucking ball.

 

[TrentGrisham]

He was decent and a few inches from a worldie, but fair play to Mitchell who did extremely well on him.

I agree it was a foul, but Bernardo not clearing it helped to create that penalty. It was daft to try and turn him in such a dangerous place

 

[kenbelly]

Played well today. Love the little fella.

 

[Blu1]

Only creative player we have but we are running him into the ground

 

[ninjamonkey]

Why is he played out wide? Even when he is out wide he still has responsibilities further back to help with buildup or he's pressing more central so just play him central where he can do it even better because even though he's got a different role, he's the nominal winger and we don't get enough in the final third from him. Him and grealish as the two wingers results in nothing coming from the wing. palace knew this, they went ultra narrow with a 5 and basically gave us the wings because there's just no threat there.

He is the opposite of creative

I've never before seen a player ignore so many opportunities to play an incisive forward pass in order to roll the ball back to defenders.

He's one of the major reasons we are failing to kill teams off.

He isn’t a RW. Playing there as we didn’t replace Mahrez.

 

[Bluewonder]

He isn’t a RW. Playing there as we didn’t replace Mahrez.

I understand that, but his reluctance to play attacking passes hands impetus to the opposition.

KDB and David Silva would have killed Crystal Palace today.

 

[Bluewars II]

Bernie was good today, was fouled before their penalty. Unlucky

 

[city warrior]

He isn’t a RW. Playing there as we didn’t replace Mahrez.

He is also not creative when he is a midfielder. Bernardo is incredible in a lot of aspects. Vision, creativity and goalscoring production is not one of them, and that's independent of the position he plays.

He might be our least threat offensively. Again, that's not why he is great for us.

 

[alexmcity]

Bernardo is one of the best midfielders in the world. To move him on the wing to make room for Lewis is a dubious move.

 

[Goldust]

Has to play central and let him
Run the show

Jesus if Bernie isn’t our creative player who is ? lol

 

[TrentGrisham]

He isn't though. I love Bernie. He's incredible at what he does but his goal-creation numbers(big chances created, goal/shot-creating actions, etc) are always relatively very low.

I’d take his stats over Jacks. Bernie’s main attribute has been dictating the pace at which we play (last season especially)
