Riyad Mahrez has told Pep Guardiola exactly how to get the best out of teammate Bernardo Silva in a Manchester City shirt.
After starting City's opening two games of the Premier League season on the bench, Bernardo Silva has regained his place in Pep Guardiola's starting XI. The Portuguese midfielder was particular impressive in the wins against Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest, despite often finding himself out on the right wing rather than in his preferred number eight role.
It was in a deeper position that Bernardo excelled in last season, particularly in the latter months of the season when he often dropped deep alongside Rodri to aid City's ball progression and build-up play. Thanks to his work-rate, agility and technical skill, it's a role he is perfectly suited to.
