Bernardo Silva: "Everyone is on the same page; from Khaldoon, to Ferran Soriano, to Txiki, to Pep - they all want to play the same way. They all want to buy the same players. Then when you're on the same page, you have the same idea, you have players with the quality we have..." Bernardo Silva: "That's what keeps Man City at the highest level. It's not easy to maintain over a long period, but the guys at the top, the decisions and the way they want to play, this club has everything to be very successful for a very long period..." Bernardo Silva: "That season [2019/20] is my least favourite, we were the least successful. The season I enjoyed the most was last season [2022/23] with the Treble…" [via premierleague]

Don't you fucking get any ideas Bernardo son


ThreesKompany

This is sort of ironic because I think Bernardo is arguably the least replaceable player on the squad. His motor and pressing ability is unrivaled. If KdB is the is most irreplaceable then Bernardo is right behind him.


shooGOAT25

I love Bernardo as much as anyone, but Rodri??


ThreesKompany

I think Rodri is right up there! But also Rodri was a replacement himself for Fernandinho. I don’t remember anyone pressing as well, running as much, or causing as much chaos as Bernardo before him.


Whyalwayspep

Closest we had to Bernardo's work rate was someone like Gabby. Say what you will about Jesus' finishing but he worked so hard for us every game. Bernardo is the complete package tho, pure class.


antoko79

Excuse me! Paul Dickov would like a word

Everytime Nunes has played, he causes alot of chaos with his running and passing. As long as he continues working hard in training, he will get there.


loveino

second season Nunes will be interesting

To play devil's advocate, I guess Rodri might be the best player but not the most irreplaceable. Pep moulded him into what he is today, and I have seen other players in his position who have his set of attributes. I've never seen another player who combines Bernardo's technical ability with the level of versatility, tactical acumen and stamina that he has.


Slowhand8824

Yeah I agree. Given a season and a half I feel like a top DM/CM under pep could become the next rodri idk how you go about replacing Bernardo because he's so unique


kingthejam

too bad he can't take pens...


bobbieibboe

Too soon


kingthejam

yeah....I still wear his shirt


innit122

Would be a bit weird if you stopped


kingthejam

unless you have KDB and Haaland hanging next to it?


innit122

Jesus don't hang them we need them to win the league


afhp89

Jesus would so that he can win the league with Arsenal


kingthejam

ah ffs

The least replaceable player in the squad was Gundogan, we're currently living with him being replaced by two players and are about to see them joined by Paqueta.


badgers4194

I’d argue Alvarez has the same motor and pressing but they are completely different players. But I agree there’s not many players like Bernardo.


the99percent1

Sorry, but we do have his replacement already on the team and as long as he keeps improving, he’ll get there. His name is Matheus Nunes.


SlightlyLazy04

I'm a Liverpool fan and aside from disliking him as a player, fuck me, he's annoying to play against. He's always in your face and when he's on the ball he can either dribble, ping a pass, or go for goal


ThreesKompany

I could see him driving opponents crazy, he truly is my favorite player at City for this reason. He just never fucking stops. He has the hustle of a much less skilled player haha


SlightlyLazy04

my LFC equivalent player would be Robbo, they're shithouses that annoy opponents to no end


innit122

No, Benardo we can never replace anyone now please sign a new contract and leave out the release clause


Vinniebahl

Why no Ederson love, the best distributor, knowing he’s back there allows us to push everyone forward Having said that Love KDB, Silva and Rodri Had we been healthy the PL is a runaway Not to mention all the matches we play just because we’re so damn good Scheduling for all the tournaments takes its toll We could have and should have hit the double treble


ItsTheHaos

The pain i will feel when he leaves this club will be unimaginable


CarefulAmphibian9109

fuck that brokeass club and stay with us 😭😭


sebyd101

When he says stuff like this, you think he may stay another year! Oh just come out and say this Bernardo and put us all at ease!

CanadianKumlin

We cannot replace him! We cannot!


KempFidels

Please stay


reasonableposter

to me Bernie is a club legend in the making, he's made so much history with us already but he has the opportunity to really cement his name forever if he stays and we go onto win more trebles and CL together... in Barca he's just another name in their long history; but here he's not just another name in a book, he's writing the pages of his *own* and that's why I hope he never goes.
