Bernardo Silva - 2018/19 performances

[CityInWashingtonState]

If it wasn’t for Dave, Kev, Fern, kun, raz, Leroy and Vinnie he would defo be my favourite player.

Exactly... if it were not additionally for Laporte and Ederson, he'd be my favorite as well.

 

[TonyM]

He’s my favourite player.

Sterling, Silva, Aguero, Laporte, Ederson, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Stones, DeBryune, Sané, Foden and others do not like this post.

 

[TravisBickle]

He’s actually better than Spanish Dave in tight spaces. The ball is on a fuckin string. He gets out of situations he has no right to get out of.

He’s so young as well. A super talented footballer.

An amazing talent for sure.
I’d kick his ass so bad on the pool table mind lol

I'd dare say he suits our current setup better than Kevin, due to his ball control in tight spaces.

Kevin is a better big game player, he will give that amazing assist or score a rocket, But Bernardo is better at controlling the opposition.

 

[Dax777]

I used to call him David Silva with goalscoring. But David scores now. So he's just Portuguese Silva.

One of the things that has impressed me the most with him playing centrally is his engine, he doesnt stop running from start to finish.
Which imo is a big reason as to why we havent missed the best midfielder in the world.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Best first touch in the world.

 

[Saddleworth2]

Exactly... if it were not additionally for Laporte and Ederson, he'd be my favorite as well.

Cant forget Stonesey, Delphinio and Mahrez either tbf.

In all seriousness, we are so blessed with fantastic talent and likeable players.

 

[Clercqs]

He’s so adoreable, Bernardo that is.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

The triangle between Bernardo/Walker/Mahrez down the right is absolutely incredible. They just make so many openings and chances, and when the ball gets lost on that side of the pitch it's always won back between the 3 of them in a few seconds.

I don't know how we're going to bench Bernardo when KDB is fit.

We probably start rotating Silva more often. I just hope we don’t start playing Bernardo on the right. We have Mahrez/Sterling for that, we’d lose more than we gain.

We haven’t missed kev one bit because of this. I noticed in the charity shield against Chelsea that he was running around like a mad man. Love him.

Agree to an extent.

We're a better side when KDB plays - at the same time, we're deeper than any side this year in the P/L and indeed in the past decade; unique among P/L teams - we can sustain multiple injuries/suspensions at key positions without a huge drop off in team performance.

BARGAIN ...

 

[kaz7]

I love him,he is everywhere on the pitch battling like a jack russel

 

[ClaudioDeyna]

'Incredible' said the boss. Oh yeah.

 

[Kompany is King]

So lucky he is a City player. Top quality.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

BARGAIN ...

For the money we spent on him, the rags got Matic.

 

[SebastianBlue]

He really has everything.

We may have finally gotten Messi. ;-)

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

This guy has everything just gets better and better.

 

[mccity]

After a difficult first half, I was really impressed with how he stepped up in the second. Top, top attitude as well.
