Liverpool are currently 25 points clear of Manchester City in the Premier League standings.

Liverpool fans have been left angered by Bernardo Silva’s comments about them to Bleacher Report.

Silva has complained that Liverpool’s players generally receive greater praise than his Manchester City teammates.

And the Portuguese midfielder has used the example of Mo Salah being handed the Player of the Season award two years ago, rather than Kevin de Bruyne, to highlight his point.

He said: ”I hope this is not a bad example, and people don’t take it badly. But I always think about the last three seasons, Man City and Liverpool.

”Three seasons ago we win the league and they were 30 points behind. Kevin De Bruyne, unbelievable season, Mo Salah, scores a lot of goals. He’s a great player and I admire him a lot, and they give the award to Mo Salah.”

Liverpool supporters feel that Silva’s comments are out of order though.

And Reds fans have fired back at the £43 million City midfielder (BBC Sport) on social media website Twitter.

Jordan Henderson is the current favourite to win the Player of the Season award, so Liverpool players look set to keep hold of the trophy.

Silva’s argument doesn’t have as much footing this term, as Liverpool have completely dominated.

Although De Bruyne has enjoyed another excellent campaign, Liverpool are currently 25 points clear of City in the league and well on course to win their first Premier League title.
