Manchester City thrashed Burnley at Turf Moor on Tuesday night and the out-of-form Bernardo Silva was among the team’s star performers according to WhoScored.com.
The Portuguese international, who has been valued at £90m by Transfermarkt, has come in for some harsh criticism of late as he has struggled but he looked back to his brilliant best during what turned out to be a comfortable night for the Cityzens.
Bernardo Silva took to social media to share a photo of the team in the dressing room, highlighting the unity and buoyant mood in and amongst the squad. The supporters are loving it.
Is Bernardo Silva back to his best?
Yes
No
I’m loving the positivity around the club right now. We need to carry it on to the weekend boys. Cmon City ?

What do we think?
When facing Burnley, you are guaranteed to come up against a hard-working, well-organised and committed opponent but the superior quality within Pep Guardiola’s side proved too much for Sean Dyche’s side.
City will quietly believe they can fight their way back into serious contention for the Premier League title and there’s no reason why given the talent they possess they cannot go on a winning run that will see them capitalise on any slip up’s Liverpool may suffer during the busy December period.
