20 | Bernardo Silva - 2024/25

[blue ranger]

Looked great last 10-15 mins when he was in the middle alongside Kova. But when we have Savio, Doku and even McAtee it’s criminal he is starting as a winger.

Says you ! King of being wildly over the top reactions every game

Yeah he's talking shit for whatever reason.
Bernardo had a 7/10 game.

Wasted out wide, get our speedy wingers out there and let bernie operate centrally. it was painfully obvious today

Why on earth play him wide, when we have savinho who is quality and bernardo is 100x better in the middle. Baffling.

Probably because Bernardo is less likely to give away possession and Savinho will likely start on Tuesday. Horses for courses at present.

The race meeting was today, not next Tuesday

Savinho is pretty good at keeping it and provides a threat. I’d prefer we played the better players today

He is, true, but we saw against Internazionale that he can be a little impatient when things aren’t going right for him and run it into traffic rather than recycle. With no physical presence in our midfield and memories of Gordon’s pace hurting us on the break in January, it made sense to play Bernardo/Grealish. It blunted our attacking options, especially without Foden, but we clearly hoped to hang on to our lead and then use our wingers late on when they tired.

 

[City_Sean]

He needs to be central. He gives us no goal threat or creativity out wide, it's much better having him in the middle with Savinho out wide IMO.

Any chance the real Bernardo is still around?
