David Silva - 2016/17 performances

Isco

There Silva was the best player on the pitch by a mile , would take him in a heartbeat

 

[Saddleworth2]

He is irreplaceable because nobody has his touch and vision. For me he is in the same bracket as Iniesta. One of the greatest midfielders to play the game and he chose to play for us. What a match made in heaven. Long may it continue.

He's a tidy player who I wouldn't mind us signing in the future but he wasn't the best player on the pitch and he certainly wasn't the best by a mile. As soon as we got on top he disappeared with the rest of their team.

Goes hiding in big games does David.... Not.


Best player on the pitch. Best player ever to don the sky blue shirt.

Sane & Silva link is simply beautiful to watch at the moment.

That chipped pass at the end....he only passes it sideways I was also told.

We may have found a candidate to be his longer term replacement last night with B Silva. He needs watching by City...maybe we already are ;)....

Great game again. Who says he only passed sideways ?

Probably the same posters who said he'd never fit into Pep's system.

Nah our silva was better last night.

 

[Delphacito]

Both Silva and Silva were great last night and I would take Silva to be Silva's successor definitely. Similar type of play between them two.

Was excellent again last night although think everyone talking about him being irreplaceable are getting a bit carried away! :)

Bernado Silva was also excellent and showed similar qualities to David. Think long term replacing him won't be as much of a headache as people might imagine because he plays a very specific role within the team which someone like Thiago could step into and perform with similar qualities.

None of that should take away from his brilliance though since Pep's gone back to 433 with him and KDB in the middle. Currently is there a better midfield two than him and KDB? Not sure that there is in Europe. Maybe Verrati/Rabiot. Happy days.

Going forward he was good, but along with KDB, defensively they were both shocking.
They didn't pick up the runners as Monaco began to move the ball forward.
