Bernardo Silva - 2017/18 performances

[The Preacher]

Barnado is a super player. Pep needs to bring him on in Cm not out wide imo.

Yes. As many have pointed out on here, we saw in that second half what he’s truly capable of doing in his true position - CM. There seemed to be a moment when he decided to show how he (not Ronaldo) could take the game by the scruff of the neck for Portugal, as he started ‘pulling the strings’ from a central position. His stamina impressed me, too: he ran, passed and dribbled with purpose and energy until the final whistle. He certainly did not deserve to be on the losing side and I think we should all appreciate what a talent we have here. And he’s still young. While DS is, indeed, irreplaceable, I think we saw his ultimate and worthy successor last night.

Bernardo has had a hugely disappointing World Cup (same as most City players to be fair). He isn't the finished article yet so no way can we just snub Mahrez for him.

Disappointing in what regard? I thought he was excellent.

Bernardo was Portugals best player second half.

That’s two votes for Bernardo, was everywhere last night. Even popped up in unknown territory on the left wing. The ball sticks to him would like to see him get a few cameos there in the up coming campaign.

I agree he's not set the world on fire but I don't think that's got anything to do with him not being the finished article. Ronaldo plays in the same team. Just one of those things, the teams not good enough.

Bernardo is technically excellent - he is a huge talent. Pep eased him in last season playing him out wide - which I guess is safe but it’s not really where Bernardo will flourish. I trust Pep to get Bernardo playing in the middle next season where we will see him give centre backs and defensive midfield players the run around. We just need to be patient- Pep will make him great and use his talents to maximum benefit.

Agree entirely. Let's hope he gets more starts in that position next season. I would much rather see him in that position rather than the ineffective Gundogwan who is just too slow to play out wide.
