20 | Bernardo Silva - 2024/25

[Alan Harper's Tash]

He's come to the end of the line but some of the disrespect for him Is very sad to see.

Happening with a few of our players. Fans can be fickle.

 

[WallyA]

Honestly...

We need to move on from Bernie, Kovacic and Gundogan.

We need 3 more centre midfielders, and no, Foden or McAtee do not count, they are way too attack oriented.

We need technical controllers who dont lost the ball.

 

[Blue-Ghana]

His legs are gone, offensively he is non existent at the moment

 

[the old abbey]

He's Been great. But now time to put out to pasture. Finished I'm afraid...
.

 

[Blu1]

Love him but he’s tired & not motivated like several others. 1 season to much

Happening with a few of our players. Fans can be fickle.

They are and they are sounding more and more entitled with every loss. They can't be old time City fans who are giving these players, who have given so much, so much stick.

 

[jamielowndes]

Love him, have long considered him one of the most underrated players in the team because he spent his prime alongside KDB.

But he's finished at our level. The legs aren't there. Go back to Benfica. Win a title with them. I mean that with total sincerity.

 

[bluethai]

He's been in steal-a-living mode for a few years now.

His legs are gone? He ran and ran out there tonight, I bet there wasn’t a City player who covered more ground than him. He needed to be subbed off alongside KDB and not with Gundogan coming on, another 30 something. However who the hell am I to out think Pep?

 

[Brad mcfc]

He offers nothing

 

[denTTony]

still putting the effort in but not much else from him

 

[Withnail]

Like most City fans I love Bernardo, but unfortunately he is a pale shadow of the player we saw against Madrid a couple of years ago

 

[01cravend]

Lads only 30..playing like he's 35+. Pep has fully run him into the ground season after season and it's caught up.

 

[eastmanc]

He's been in steal-a-living mode for a few years now.

What when we won the treble. He wasn't stealing a living that season was he.

 

[MichaelBBack]

I've loved watching Bernie so much over the years, but I do think we're reaching the end now...

Absolutely wonderful player in his prime, one of the best signings we've ever made, but it's just like with Fern and David Silva and Kev, I just don't want to watch these legends of the club get progressively worse and look like shadows of who they once were. It'd be much better to let them go out on a high (like we originally did with Gundo...)

We've got such a bad habit of holding onto certain players too long, not investing in understudies and successors and just expecting these guys to carry on performing as if they're all 25 forever. It's not fair on them and it's majorly bit us in the arse this season.

He is and it's come to him early which is so sad to.see.

Problem is we can't let them all go together at once.

 

[Ajm1985]

He's dropped off a cliff. Trying but he just can't retain possession and gets bullied so often. If he had some big, energetic **** doing the hard yards alongside him, he'd still be impactful but at the moment it's just a lot of chasing shadows

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Love him unconditionally for everything he’s done, but he is finished.

 

[Kinkladze 1]

Top player in his day and a very likeable guy but so far past his prime it’s scary. What is he still doing here is the question?!
