20 | Bernardo Silva - 2024/25

I've said it before and I'll repeat it. Only when this guy is gone will we truly know what we had. An utterly fearless, utterly driven player, with huge skills. Never hides, never makes waves, always works for the team. That Real Madrid game alone will be enough to cement his place in our history.
We lost one great Silva. We didn't do too badly with the other.

His performance against Liverpool at home in 18/19 is the bravest performance I've ever seen from a Manchester City player. If we are still giving out statues when he leaves that one match alone would justify it. The Real game is just the cherry on the cake.
 
I genuinely want to know what he is offering as a starter right now (and as of late to be honest). Goals? No. Creativity? None, I see Gvardiol doing 3-4 times more interesting and creative passes than Bernardo per game. Helping Kovacic or defense to build up play? Certainly not, I think Foden (and it's not his main responsability) touches more balls and helps more in creation per game than Bernardo. Passing it quickly and incisive in counterattacks? No.

It's not like we seem more secure in defense against quick transitions with him either. Other than running a lot and some smart pressing, there is barely anything. With no Rodri and KDB, it should be Bernardo as an anchor in our midfield, and yet our midfield is the worst part of our game every matchday.
 
Might not be contributing much creatively. But still vital to us as the only one of the front 5 who knows how to press, and who does it well, consistently.
