We totally DESERVED what happened! Bernardo Silva’s SCATHING assessment of late derby defeat | OneFootball

Bernardo Silva’s blasted the “stupid” decisions from his Manchester City team mates which cost them in their late defeat to rivals Manchester United.

The defeat was City’s eighth in 11 matches, with the reigning champions floundering in fifth place in the Premier League table.

Amad Diallo’s shock winner just a minute from time left Pep Guardiola deflated, with the full-time whistle met with choruses of boos from the City faithful.

“We totally deserved what happened,” Bernardo said.

“If minute 87 of a derby you’re winning 1-0, corner for your team, and the ball ends up at your keeper with a penalty for them, my friend, if you make these stupid decisions when it’s three or four minutes to go, you deserve to pay for that.

“We have to look at ourselves. It’s not about, ‘Oh we’re playing so well and it’s a bit unlucky’. No! It’s the decisions that you make.

“Today in the last minutes we played like Under-15s and you pay the price.

“It’s not about one player or two, when it happens in 10 games it’s about us collectively, but obviously each one of us individually look at ourselves and see what we can do better.

“But there needs to be communication at that minute, at that level of the game, there needs to be communication for us to play short, or to try to keep the ball in the corner or something, or at least if the ball ends up to one of our midfielders, you just put the ball again into one of the corners…

“It’s not just that pass from Matheus [Nunes] to the keeper, it’s everything from the corner, how the ball ends up from Ruben [Dias], then Kyle [Walker], to Matheus, then everyone under pressure that you have to play to the keeper. It just cannot happen!”

The defeat leaves nine points adrift of leaders Liverpool who have a game in hand on Guardiola’s side.
