David Silva - 2016/17 performances

[Rammy Blue]

How do you think Kolarov's playing this season, mate?

He's fucking wank.

 

[Neville Kneville]

I watched Barca the other night & imo our mids are working much harder than theirs, because of the intensity of the Prem. Also imo, all 3 lost a yard in the 2nd half on Sunday. Not just Silva & KDB, but also Fernandinho. The little 'nicks' of the ball he was getting in the first half were suddenly missing & West Ham were getting a toe to it.

Imo if Pep wants to play this way all season, he is going to have to consider swapping midfielders during games. Maybe even two.

Maybe we should have gone to the magical fitness camp in Austria that gave leicester's midfielders such incredible stamina levels.

I like you.

Mate how are you coping with Nasri's cameo and his potential opportunity to stay and work under Pep?

Looks like he's on the way to Seville.

I'm overjoyed at AK, and was only joking above. Equally I'd have preferred us to keep Sami and get shut of Yaya, if I'm totally honest, on the proviso he got his work rate correct, but it looks now like the ship has sailed.

Yeah just seen that. I'm surprised that we'd keep Navas when we have so many wingers now and let Sami go baring in mind he can also play in one of the floating 8 roles that Silva/KDB currently occupy.

The Kolarov thing has made me look such a tit. Had him first out the door this summer. Not one of Pep's go to specialist guys!

So many wingers? Sterling, Nolito and Navas? Sane can play there, that's about the standard amount for a team isn't it?

Yes and no. Sane is coming to us as an out and out winger. The point is of all those players none of them can play that number 8 role whereas Nasri can. I'm surprised that we aren't keeping him and sending Navas back to Sevilla. After all Navas can only play one position. Nasri can play either of the number 8 roles, either wide roles, and even as a false 9 as we saw at the very end of the game against West Ham.

But honestly it's not that important. I'm not overly arsed what Pep does with the squad because I trust him.

AK was one of the first to be out though, it was only the terrorist stuff in Turkey that stopped him heading out there - never thought that one would be a blessing for us!

Such a shame, end of day, that Sami came back fat. Equally, maybe he just hasn't got the stomach (no pun intended) for the fight to be in a Pep team so is just taking easy option of sodding off to Spain.
