Gary Neville remains concerned that Pep Guardiola's insistence on trialling Bernardo Silva in an unorthodox left-back role could cost Manchester City in the title race.
City failed to capitalise on their midweek win against title rivals Arsenal over the weekend, watching the Gunners enjoy a late win at Aston Villa before dropping two points against Nottingham Forest. Silva opened the scoring just before half-time but a number of missed chances handed Steve Cooper's side the opportunity to level, with Chris Wood on hand to score at the back post.
A trip to the City Ground once again saw Silva flick between midfield and an auxiliary left-back position when out of possession, a tactical tweak that Guardiola has trialled in recent weeks. On Saturday, Forest's goal came from a break down their right, with Silva pulled out of position before the ball was knocked across the area, and Neville believes Guardiola's insistence on trialling the move is costing City.
