‘We played like under-15s,’ fumes Bernardo Silva as angry Man City ace admits ‘we deserved’ Man Utd loss

BERNARDO SILVA has slammed Manchester City for "playing like under-15s" in their defeat to Manchester United. Despite taking a one-nil lead through Josko Gvardiol in the first half, City were undone by two late goals from their cross-town rivals. It saw Pep Guardiola's side record fall to just one win in their last 11 games.

And speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Silva, 30, said City "deserved" the result. He said: "We deserved what happened. At this level a game or two is unlucky. We can’t say this is lucky or unlucky — 10 games it’s not about that. “Minute 87 in a derby, winning 1-0 and our corner ends in a penalty for them, if we make these stupid decisions with three or four minutes to go you deserve to pay for that.

"Looking at the game I think there was only one team that could win the game, but at the end we lost. It’s not one game, it’s a lot of games lately. "We have to look at ourselves. You can say ‘oh that’s a bit unlucky’, no. It’s the decisions you make. Today in the last minute we played like Under-15s.".
On the "stupid" decisions City have been making, Silva continued: “We don’t want them to happen. "It’s a bit frustrating because if you look at the game until [the] 86th minute there was only one team that could win the game. BEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERS.
"Then from a corner for Man City, you leave a centre-back, Ruben stayed, but we end up with the ball at our keeper. There’s no excuse for that.”. Silva, who has been around for six Premier League titles, did not have any qualms about naming and shaming team-mates either.
