Pep Guardiola has explained that his decision to play Bernardo Silva in his old role on the right side of attack was simply down to injury problems.
The Portugal ace, who has been hugely influential in Manchester City’s rise to the top of the Premier League this season as an attacking midfielder, reprised his old position in the last two games, against Tottenham and Everton.
And the fact that he was not the all-action focal point of the City attack, as normal, has been noted by some fans.
