Graeme Souness was effusive in his praise for Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva, hailing him as a “fabulous” player. Silva’s exceptional performance in City’s 3-1 victory over Manchester United drew commendation from Dion Dublin, who described him as “outstanding” and credited him with leading the team to victory.

Despite being recognized as a world-class midfielder, Silva is still considered “underrated” by some, including his teammate Ruben Dias. However, the 29-year-old continues to shine season after season for Pep Guardiola’s side, with his recent displays in midfield reinforcing his status as one of Europe’s best players.

In a recent interview, Souness identified Silva as one of the four best midfielders in the Premier League, alongside Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne. The former Liverpool player praised Silva’s contributions to the team and emphasized his importance in City’s title run-in, especially in crucial upcoming fixtures against Liverpool, Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Tottenham Hotspur.

Souness highlighted Silva’s ability to perform exceptionally well in big games, suggesting that he is often superior against top sides compared to mid-table or lower-ranked teams. The Portuguese midfielder’s versatility and skill were on display in the Champions League clash against Copenhagen, where he scored a remarkable goal.

If Silva continues to deliver stellar performances during the title run-in, City’s chances of securing their fourth consecutive league title will significantly improve. His impact on the team’s success cannot be understated, making him a key player for City as they aim for more silverware in the coming weeks.
