In the context of reflecting on Manchester City’s recent performances and the challenges faced by injuries:
Bernardo Silva said “With Man City it’s always two points lost. One point is better than zero but we’re not happy at the moment. We know our situation with injuries. Coming to Crystal Palace is never easy but we have to do better.”
In the context of discussing the team’s standards and their current standing in the league:
Bernardo Silva said “It’s not the way we built this team, it’s not our standard. We have to do better, we have to react better to the second balls. We have to give them less opportunities on set-pieces. We created a few chances and that wasn’t our problem because we scored two. We’re in December. We’d like to be in a different position. If we recover our players quickly we can always do it. But right now our concern is a different one. If we’re fourth or fifth we have to look at winning the next game. The last month and a half have not been good enough.”
