David Silva - 2019/20 Performances

[Tugay One Cup]

Lads, it's Silva. He would have missed if he shot.

He brought a lot of control to proceedings once he came on.

Control would have been if he buried the chance he was gifted on a plate. If he missed I wouldn't have held it against him.

Just glad I got to witness one season (17/18) where Silva wasn’t scared to shoot and he scored some beauties as well, thinking Stoke away.

It’s the one area of his game in general that he’s lacked. Only thing that separated him from Iniesta for me.

In fairness, his scoring record for both club and country is far better than Iniesta's.

I won’t post the clip out of respect to David, but man, that chance he “missed” looks so much worse on the second viewing. I can’t believe he didn’t shoot that.

Fair enough mate, I’ve not done my research. Those big goals against Holland and Chelsea obviously skewed my view on his scoring abilities.

In your defence, David had a few of these moments over the years where he's looked really reluctant to have a pop.

Dave mate,you had to take that shot on,it was a gift

 

[Scottyboi]

Was honestly fucking disgraceful seeing him do that. So cowardly no idea what he was thinking.

‘Cowardly’?

 

[Scottyboi]

‘Cowardly’?

Course it was, he bottled the shit and put the pressure on a team mate instead. There is no chance anyone else was in a better place to shoot than he was.

I know he should have shot but the word you chose is just wrong.

 

[nellyonthewing]

Pep still saving Foden for the 2030 Season.

 

[Scottyboi]

I know he should have shot but the word you chose is just wrong.

He didn't want to risk missing so passed the buck onto another player, imo that was cowardly. He can't honestly believe they were in a better position. Unless he has money on utd to win haha.

 

[jaiguruKun]

It gets worse with every viewing.
He may be one of our best players ever but I hope Pep gives him a rollicking for that.

 

[supercity88]

Great player but lack of goals always will be levelled at him. As a legend of our club and senior figure he should have banged that in first time. He is forgiven if he misses. Not good to see his first thought being "i could miss so I'll pass". I can tell you now, Phil Foden smacks that ball in the net.

With an eye on the CL, worrying signs tonight. Misses chances, then conceded and dropped their heads. Holding on even when we had an extra man at the end. No chance against Real at this rate.

Pep needs to get them sortes mentally. Tell them to play in Madrid like we lost the home leg 1-0 and only 2 goals and a clean sheet will be enough. Get them playing with that mentality.

Then at home tell them to ignore the first leg and go out and win the game first and foremost.

 

[pudge]

He did the same against Spurs, last season I believe?

Right in front of goal and passed it.

Genuinely inexcusable. Don't care who it was, had it been Sergio I'd say the same; that he was bollock-less.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Why the fuck is he captain? He completely abdicates responsibility and I've said this before.

 

[RayCTID]

I agree he isn't captain material but perhaps seniority?

That one against Spurs was a fucking joke. You do have to wonder what goes through his head when he makes those passes.

 

[Phil1]

He’s captain because the players chose him to be.
