David Silva - 2016/17 performances

Didn't have a good 2015/16 season (admittedly suffered from niggling injuries) but that form has carried over to this campaign. Pathetic attempt to block King's goal. Is it true he has no goals and only 2 assists this season? Silva gets a free run from many on here based on his performances from 2/3/4 years ago. I also think he is holding back Gundogan and KDB from having more influence, we should give him a wee rest this week and see how the others get on without him....doesn't seem to pick those little passes anymore, the ones that set someone in on goal?
 
Another player having to adapt to Guardiola's methods but must of had some impression as Silva is one of our vice captains in Vinny's absence.
 
He's playing better for Spain than us at the moment so maybe it's something we/Pep are doing wrong.

I was going to post that he was the one largely responsible for that second goal but I get called out for criticising him so thought I'd keep quiet. Glad someone else noticed.

For that second goal he was standing around in the area in the middle of two players and made no real attempt to close either down. I've been getting pelters off some for saying he's a luxury we can't afford anymore so it's interesting to see how others are also coming round to that view. He certainly wasn't the worst on Saturday but that was a game where he could and should have shown leadership going forward and didn't. Any teams like Leicester & Boro, who play a packed defence, are not teams he should be starting against.
