The playmaker is showing what it means to be a Manchester City player under Pep Guardiola.
Of course, this was already evident to Manchester City supporters but the Portugal playmaker seems to have raised his levels in recent matches, especially so in the derby win when he ran the match. The 29-year-old helped out defensively while also starting several attacking moves, joining in himself at times.
In fact in August he penned an extension which keeps him at the Etihad until 2026. Ever since, Silva has shown his super strength - versatility. Many named him as a candidate to fill into Kevin De Bruyne’s role amid the Belgian’s long-term injury. It will come as a wake-up call for the summer signings. Kovacic has not been used the same since his erratic display against Arsenal, where he was fortunate not to get sent off. He has started just one league game since, albeit began both wins over Young Boys.
But in contrast, Bernardo has missed just five league minutes since missing the loss to Wolves, scoring two and assisting another in his last two outings - both of which came as a central midfielder.
