On August 25th, in the second round of the Premier League, Manchester City overturned Ipswich with a 4-1 victory. Despite the comfortable win, renowned commentator Paul Merson was unimpressed with B. Silva’s performance.
Paul Merson said of B. Silva: “He is one of my favorite players, but he was completely invisible on the pitch, as if he wasn’t even playing.”
In this match, B. Silva started and played the full 90 minutes. He had 62 touches and completed 48 of his 51 passes, yet his performance remained underwhelming. In this game, B. Silva recorded 0 in key passes, shots on target, and successful dribbles. His defensive performance was also unsatisfactory, with no effective tackles or interceptions, and he lost all 5 of his duels with opponents.
In the first two games of the season, B. Silva had impressive performances, scoring the equalizer against Manchester United in the Community Shield and assisting a goal in the opening Premier League game against Chelsea. After this underwhelming performance, B. Silva needs to regain his form as soon as possible.
