David Silva - 2017/18 performances

[MCFCFanTX]

Best player on the field by a country mile.

 

[Pete Campbell]

The best player to play for our club and one of the best currently in the world. Imagine if he could shoot.

 

[Blue Hefner]

Outstanding. Not much else to say, really

 

[KCblue]

The fact that he makes it look so casual is the reason he'll never be recognized

That and the fact he doesn't bring attention to himself off the pitch or make crazy remarks that generate headlines. He's a model professional who is not only damn good at what he does, but also has the humility and leadership to go with it.

He’s a feisty little fucker. He’s really added some steel to all that silk. End of the first half he went in hard on matic (i think) with a slide tackle and the ball popped up and Silva won the header too.

I don't agree; he's always had it in him and he's always got stuck in for me.

The only negative thing about Silva is I find myself wondering what could have been if we'd got pep in 2013 as intended.

Imagine what a 27 year old Merlin might have become under him. Same goes for Aguero and Yaya at his peak, maybe even Nasri could have had a very different career if he's met Pep at 25 not 29.

Obbiously We'll never know, and jusr have to enjoy every moment he's on the pitch ubder Guardiola over the next 18 months.

I prefer to bury my head in the sand and think that whilst it didn't get the best out of him, Silva still developed and learnt some things under Pellegrini that he wouldn't have under Pep. In the same way I believe the reason Touré is/was such a unique player due to his rather unique football journey.

No doubt he would have been better for having Pep back in 2013. But I like to believe we wouldn't have this exact incarnation if things hadn't turned out the way they did.

Finally getting the recognition from the pundits that he deserves. Hopefully some achievement award at the end of the season will come his way.

Sadly Salah will probably get player of the year or even our Kev.

Possibly but there's the football writers award.
