Is that cake ready yet? F***ing starving hereThe Magician is in full swing - and is now joined by KDB and Gundugan.
We are going to rip opponent's apart and will only get better once the Winter window arrives.
And you are!?
I wouldn't bother showing it to him, mate.
The people still criticising him on here fall in to three broad categories:
1. Those that really know nothing about football and think Kinkladze was a better player and that Silva "doesn't score enough goals" or "only passes sideways" and "his stats aren't as good as X, Y and Z". They don't know enough about the game to appreciate what a truly exceptional player Dave is.
2. Those that mistook his drop in form due to injury last season as a terminal decline and their ego is too big to admit they got it completely wrong.
3. Those that just say controversial or contrary things on the internet because they are desperate for attention.
These kinds of cranks aren't the type of people David should be reading and taking seriously or to heart.
They wouldn't say these things in real life, it's just the anonymity of the internet that gives people the confidence to take these absurd positions.
In real life David is pretty much universally adored by genuine blues and is thought by many to be one of, if not the greatest player ever to play for the club.
He's certainly the best I've ever seen play for City and I'd happily say that to him in person, but the loonies in pots 1, 2 and 3 would never express their views from here to him face to face.
I heard he won more tackles than any other player on the pitch. Not bad for a shrinking violet who goes missing in the big games ;-)
The "big game myth" peddlers also seem to miss out the 6-1 for some strange reason? We went away to our closest title rivals and beat them 6-1. A 10 goal swing on goal difference. We ended up winning the league by 8 goals difference. David Silva got Man of the Match, scored one and had played a part in 4 of the other goals.
Perhaps "Big games" can't be played in October? Only in April or May. Maybe that's it?
He is older and is adjusting his game for that and pep,he is so far from being finished with usI'm sorry but the 6-1 was four years ago.

Ha ha better than Kinkladze
better than Kinkladze
He has never been a goalscorer he is a creater,i don't get all the posts going on about goals he hasn't scored and beat him around the head with it now when he has proved himself as one of the greatest players we have ever had in the creative role that is his place.makes me sadI've did it so often before and today was a prime case......David simply HAS to score more. I think it's what stops him getting the more widespread praise he deserves. Should have buried the chance today.
You look at our attacking midfielders and strikers over the last 5-6 years and they all have iconic/memorable goals that we instantly remember but can't think of a single David Silva goal in that category and think that helps prove my point unfortunately.
It's for this reason I'd like to see him in the pivot role at the base of midfield. Make use of him by getting him to pass through the lines with Fernandinho, KDB and Gundogan ahead of him.He has never been a goalscorer he is a creater,i don't get all the posts going on about goals he hasn't scored and beat him around the head with it now when he has proved himself as one of the greatest players we have ever had in the creative role that is his place.makes me sad

too right he is, if you seriously think kinkladze was a better player than silva is, then you are completely off your rockerHa ha better than Kinkladze
With spain he seems to have more responsibility as a goalscorer,with us he is more the creater,different role,it would be nice if he chiped in but he is what he isI agree largely, however he does seem to bag for Spain but for us, it feels like he is always going to struggle and for such a fantastic player, its a real puzzle why.
If I remember correctly, which is often a struggle these days didn't he score 8 or 9 in quick succession a few seasons when Kun was injured ?With spain he seems to have more responsibility as a goalscorer,with us he is more the creater,different role,it would be nice if he chiped in but he is what he is
My memory is fucked after my brain injury so i can't remember,i think he got 12 once but god knows when that was lolIf I remember correctly, which is often a struggle these days didn't he score 8 or 9 in quick succession a few seasons when Kun was injured ?
