David Silva - 2016/17 performances

[Shaelumstash]

I watch him week in and week out and he does not do enough , can't beat a man and passes fucking sidewards .

After having 2 or 3 touches he passes sidewards or backwards and this slows us down can't wait till he is gone

Most over rated player in City's history

He's passed forwards more than any other player in the entire league this season. I posted the stats to you last week and you conveniently ignored it.

If you don't rate him for whatever reason, no problem, you're entitled to your opinion. But you need to stop saying he only passes sideways because it's sinply factually incorrect.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but people who think the world is flat are just factually incorrect, it's not open for discussion. Same as you thinking Silva only passes sideways, it may be your opinion, but your opinion is completely at odds with the facts.

The difference in performance from the first half against Liverpool to the second half was stark.

The level of improvement was down to Silva moving inside. He was our best player in the 2nd half by a million miles. Always wanting the ball and running the game.

DeBruyne did his disappearing act against Liverpool, something you could never accuse Silva of. A truly brave footballer.

Brilliant player for us. I think he's finished now. End of the line very painful to say but slows us down so much. Great to watch on the ball but recuces our attacks to walking pace. Love the guy but it's over. Compare him to delle Ali and the writing is on the wall. Thank you David but I think a return to Spain is needed. Heartbreaking though it is to me.

Wouldn't go that far, he's only 30. The problem he has is he needs people up top on his wave length, you saw the ball for Sane v Arsenal, he needs more of that because he can still do it.

He is always the one we can rely upon to pick the type of pass we need. His decision making is one of his biggest strengths.

I don't ever want to see him on the left wing again however.

I agree with those that he needs more movement in front of him than he is currently getting.

Correct. I like KdB but when he's the no.10 and the midfield is being crowded out as it was after they scored then he needs to drop deeper to look for the ball, he's too passive in those situations.

Don't go confusing people with fact and figures now.

De Bruyne had an absolute shocker on Saturday and there's no doubt that Silva was much better in the second half. But just remind me how him "running the game" ended up at 90 minutes? That's my major criticism of Silva. Lovely player to watch but nowhere near enough end product, which his 4 assists in 19 games shows. However he did have quite a decent effort on goal which makes a change.
