I hate to say it but he goes missing in the big games. He only turns up when everyone else seems turned up and ready. He also doesn't appear to have the leadership quality to be the current captain of the team.

Football isn't for you.

He never goes missing. I mean never. He always demands the ball.

Just forwarded that to him, hopefully it will inspire him for after the International break.

The Blackpool goal off the bench with Andy Gray's 'oh brilliant, son.' Still love watching that.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

That's a special goal. I watched that game live on TV and he stood out at a young age amongst some really special players. Followed him ever since and was over the moon when he signed.

Silva is a great footballer BUT many here would agree that he has goes missing once in a while and its happens with the best footballers, even messi goes missing sometimes, rarely happens but it does. You see when people talk about a footballer going missing, we don't mean the footballer has disappeared rent-a-ghost style, we mean the footballer has little or not impact in a game.

Thanks for that. I know what 'going missing' means. Silva is always the last player to go missing.

It's often levelled at him that he goes missing and it's nonsense.

I'm aware he along with all players don't impress themselves on every game all game but he generally continues to be brave and adventurous in possession.
He's targrted nearly every game physically and he just keeps going.

I came here to write the very same thing!

 

[Delphacito]

Pretty convinced if Dave just pass it into the goal instead of shooting he'd score 20+ goals a season.

Finally watched the game and he was absolutely wonderful. I hope he can maintain his current fitness level for a year or two still as we might not find it too easy to replace him any soon yet.
