Despite facing criticism for a perceived lack of contribution, Bernardo Silva's statistics show he remains a valuable asset for Manchester City. The article explores the growing discontent towards Silva and whether he is truly the problem for City's recent struggles.
After a mini-revival, the familiar symptoms of Manchester City's losing run were back with a vengeance at Paris Saint-Germain. The hope, the collapse, the dropped heads. The defeatist talk post-match from the City camp.
Guardiola says he will never forget the contribution of a handful of players who have featured through pain, lack of fitness and through awful form. Among those is Bernardo Silva - previously considered untouchable when it comes to both performance and attitude. Until now. Bernardo has played as a double pivot, a number eight, number ten, and as a winger on both flanks in that run, unable to lock down a run of games in the same position. As a result, his performances have suffered.
Bernardo's statistics are hardly those of an underperforming player - among the City squad he is second for fouls made, interceptions and attempted tackles. He is second among non-defenders for clearances, third for successful dribbles , fourth for shots blocked and fouls attracted.
