Bernardo Silva - 2017/18 performances

Early days still but he doesn't look anything like the player that was dominating games for Monaco.
 
keeps the ball too much for my liking. I'm not happy at all from what I've seen from him so far but let's hope he'll do Sane and make me a fool.
 
Don’t like him out wide at all. Although he’s a tidy little player, he’s not quick enough for the flank. Would be much better suited in the middle where he can dictate the tempo instead of slowing it down.
 
He's the perfect replacement for Dave, he picks out runners brilliantly but on nights like today where we really lack runners that doesn't give him many options, he's not going to run down the line like Sane as that's not his game. Having said that if Aguero converts that sitter after Bernardo chips the perfect ball over to him, then he's won us the game. Played Walker in a lot as well but we never got the men in the box to really make the most of it.

Piss poor attempt at a shot in the first half though, completely failed to get it far enough away from himself to get his foot round it properly
 
I think he needs more minutes. Too much in and out. It's risky but we need these fringe players up to speed for the inevitable injuries etc.

I'd be tempted to play him at home agains Southampton though rather than away at Huddersfield.
 
Trying too hard at the moment for me. Once he relaxes and plays his natural game he’ll be ok.
 
Shouldn’t play on the wing again. He is simply not a fit in our system there. Later in the game he was moved central and already started looking much better, I think it was after Jesus came on.
 
His first touch is amazing; whether it's a one-time pass or controlling the ball or anything.

One thing that annoyed me though is when we split their midfield up and have a promising counter and he's on the right wing, even then he just turn to his left and sort of waits for a movement of the defender to somehow trick his way forward, and if it fails then after a few seconds he just passes it back, killing all the momentum.

So yeah, I guess it's just not the best fit having him as a right winger. Or maybe it would be if Walker would have overlapped more but I guess it was the instruction of Pep to not to make too many sprints; given what has happened to Stones after playing too many games.
 
Bernardo on left, no.

He has little pace but is incredibly skilled & good going forward. Put him in centre, but he has immense competition.

The right is correct at moment , for team, but does not show him off to his best.

Class player & he will prove it in a City shirt.
 
him playing wide certainly doesn't play to his strengths as stated. middle is where he does the damage.
