We are a better team with Silva in midfield rather than KDB, it’s a conundrum but it’s the truth.

Silva is great to keep balance and dominate the other team. But he is not gonna produce anything noteworthy, he won't give you an assist, a goal, an impossible pass, dribble 3 and go forward... and you need that against great teams. You won't dominate Madrid, PSG, Chelsea, Liverpool, Bayern most of the time.

Any manager in the world (including Pep) strongly prefers KdB over Silva for the big matches. The reality is City doesn't need a player to beat Arsenal, but we need players to beat the top 6 and Bayern, PSG, Madrid. That's why Silva is a great role player and why it seems like we are a "better team" with him. The same analogy applies to Laporte vs Dias or Cancelo vs Zinchenko or Walker.

I’n just glad he got out of the way otherwise that’s a leg breaker. How that isn’t a red card is frankly mind boggling. Might have over reacted but you can’t deny it was a dangerous tackle.

Correct, if Cancelo had not jumped he might have been in hospital now. Shocking tackle by a player with history for it and a nailed on red card.
