David Silva - 2017/18 performances

[01cravend]

Once again, disappears on the biggest of games. Hopefully he'll be back on it on Saturday.

League and Champions league this season

With Dave
29 wins - 1 draw - 1 loss

Without him
4 wins - 2 draws - 3 losses

Quite possibly one of the weirdest comments I've seen on here. We've lost once with him starting this season if I'm not mistaken?

Silva didn't disappear, Sane wasn't making the usual run at the defenders so Silva always had at least two players on him, normally when Sane makes the run he pulls one or two defenders out of their position, creating room for Silva to run in untroubled but that didn't happen at Anfield. Sane Silva and Delph / Zinch normally work as a Trio on that wing, both Sane and Silva were unable to perform because there was no support from the full back. Silva ended up playing a little bit deeper as Gundogan just couldn't handle the responsibility of a CM. It all comes down to the formation and Pep got it wrong.

He won't be missed Saturday then.

I think you need to clarify that statement before a riot ensues! Please tell me he's playing on Saturday!

Nope. Great, great player when we're amazing, but went missing like everyone else when the going got tough. Other players got abuse for their performances, he shouldn't be any different.

Not sure yet. Pep is in his bunker probably all night thinking it through.
Normally the guys know the night or afternoon before but not for this one.

Hopefully Pep picks him!

I know what you mean...he's only scored at OT, Wembley and the Emirates and set up a goal at home to Arsenal and Chelsea this season...

There’s not a City fan in the world who doesn’t want Dave to play tomorrow. Pep would be mad to leave him out

 

[Len Rum]

So he had one below par game not helped by a poor team formation. So fcuking what.
He plays tomorrow.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

David should play and I hope he does.

Everyone had an off night at Anfield.

Silva should be on that pitch to tear the rags apart and celebrate winning the league at the end of mauling the red bastards.

 

[super_city_si]

Needs to play. Also deserves to be on the field if we win the league.

 

[VinceYoungisaBLUE]

I don't want to imagine tomorrow without Dave but Bluewhit has absolutely scared the bejesus out of me...

 

[Pete Campbell]

David has to play.

Not remotely rooted in truth.

See sense Pep, see sense.

Cheers.

I don't. Nor do I want KD B or Sane or Sterling. I really don't care I'd we win the league agsinag United.

I care more about the opportunity to wrestle the CL QF away from Liverpool.

As slight as the chance of that is, I'd rather focus our resources on attempting that Herculean task.

Think that’s what’s going to happen. We’ll see a lot of players rested today.
