The Portuguese ace admits standards have slipped at Etihad Stadium in the top flight this season, with a third successive title now out of reach
Bernardo Silva has conceded that Manchester City's latest title defence has been a "huge disappointment", but he still believes there is plenty for the English champions to play for between now and June.
City have slipped 22 points behind runaway Premier League leaders Liverpool this season, with three draws and six defeats on their record after 25 fixtures.
Pep Guardiola's side have been unable to match the consistency of previous years, with a lack of cutting edge in the final third of the pitch and injuries to key personnel in the defence proving costly.
