All about opinions. Personally I don't even have Silva close to those two. Between Yaya and Aguero though.......I've no idea, but I do think that if Yaya has a poor game, then our whole team suffers. For the money we've spent, that's shocking.Not pushed close? Bollocks. I'd put Silva just ahead, then Yaya and Kun equal, then Tevez, then Kompany.
Would you care to list the Champions League games he's been dominant in during the last five years? Factually speaking, of course.Fact : a thing that is known or proved to be true.
I hate this line, and the wider story that has crept in to this thread. Both times we've won the league we've got over 80 points. Yet people assume it was Yaya wot won it because of crucial goals at Newcastle, Palace, or wherever. It's absolute nonsense. Just because you score the crucial goal or play well in a crucial game, it doesn't mean you've been the best player over the season.
Maradona is widely aknowledged to have won the 86 World Cup on his own, he didn't score in the final though.
It's probably fair to say Yaya has been more influential than Silva in big games like cup finals and the previously mentioned Newcastle and Palace games. But you have to look at the whole picture. For the 5 years they have been here Silva has been much more consistent and played at a higher level over the whole period. When he plays well, the team plays well.
Yaya has been a brilliant player for us, but Silva is the best I've ever seen in a City shirt, and I won't let the last 6 months when he's been playing on one leg affect that view.
Again, you're basing it on now when he's passed his best. In his prime he was anything but inconsistent. For what it's worth, he's been better and more consistent than Silva this season though...
Sorry pal but I've got to pull you up on that. He's blown hot and cold for a lot longer than just this season, admittedly he's been more hot than cold, but still the point stands.
Possibly as a result of the success we have achieved at the end of seasons, a lot of people seem to have airbrushed the numerous games where we needed the heart beat of our team to be thumping and it just didn't want to know.
Sunderland away (2013); he didn't give a shit; and there are many, many more examples if you think back.
Oh, and by the way, Sergio Aguero is a GOD
:)
It's the same as I feel about you these days.Watching that compilation shows how much extra timer he carries nowadays, shame.
