Bernardo Silva - 2017/18 performances

[Jalfraag]

Maybe the same one Pep saw, hence the lack of starts.

Listen, he's a beautiful player technically and one with years to improve but at this stage he isn't very progressive in his play and loses the ball too often for the type of player he is.

Nope. He didn't start games during the first half of the season but he did after he'd settled in. Even your namesake took time in his first season.

He got more starts because of his slight improvement but also because Sane got injured. He made a glut of his starts in Feb

I'm hopeful he will be better next season & beyond, as I said his technique is flawless plus he's obviously a brilliant person, he's young enough to become world class. Seems some on here think he already is

He had a really good game for Portugal tonight, even though they lost. When given a more free central role, he was roaming across the pitch making great passes for Portugal but they couldn't get a shot on target.

He is fine on the wings and drifting in (but really predictable and too slow), but probably better being inside and drifting outside. I can see him in David's role even if Pep hasn't put him there yet, I'd prefer some more pace on our wings.

He’s a joy to watch.

Best player on the pitch 2nd half.

Was much, much better tonight. Best of the Portugese lot. Showed glimpses of Merlinism

He was playing at the tip of a diamond in midfield in the second half, very close to his false 9 role for us tactically which I'm a big fan of against parked buses. Agree he was very impressive.

Quality, going to have a breakout season for us this season coming.

Have a good rest you deserve it Bernard...
