David Silva - 2017/18 performances

Did he have a bandaged hand before?

Did he have a bandaged hand before?

He's played with one for quite a few games. Otamendi sported a huge bandage on his left hand today.

welcome back dave x

Subdued first half but pulled the strings in the second half , welcome back Merlin and Merry Xmas.

 

[TonyM]

Thought he was great today. I was hoping he'd score.

Obviously not planned, but Silva getting a week rest, following KDB having a week long holiday in Dubai will probably pay dividends later in the season.

Wouldn't be surprised if Fernandinho or Sterling got similar treatment in January - missing the FA cup weekend would give them almost 2 weeks off.

He s a Blue,He s a Blue,He s a Blue!!!!

I thought it was impossible to love this guy any more, I was wrong. Proud of our worthy captain. Forever a Blue Legend!!

 

[wolfie1988]

Will not play tonight. Back in Spain. Hope all is well Dave

David Silva is in Spain and will not play against Newcastle tonight. [@10JoseAlvarez]

 

[supercity88]

Hope all is okay with him. He was excellent against Bournemouth, as always. With Gundogan able to sit out most of the game after two full games he will be back tonight and Silva gets more rest physically which will help later in the season. Sterling, Ferny, Walker and Delph are the others that could do with a rest at some point. FA Cup weekend potentially.

 

[I'm Blue]

Take all the time you need Dave, you've certainly earned it.

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

My scouser-loving brother-in-law tried to tell me that Rashford is as good as Silva, with the potential to be a much better player.

I haven't laughed as hard in a long time.

Some people's appreciation of what makes a good player is fucking mind-boggling.

 

[pudge]

5 goals and 4 assists in 12 games against Newcastle, it's a shame but there are more important things.

 

[carlosthejackal]

Need him back asap

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Need him back if kevs going to be out for a few weeks.

 

[SWP's back]

Need him back asap

The team certainly misses his quality.

 

[FantasyIreland]

The team certainly misses his quality.

We do indeed.

Until then,lets continue to respect his privacy.

Cheers

We don't seem to miss him so much if it's just one game, but we seem to gradually deteriorate, game by game when he's not in the team. Sooner he's back the happier I'll be (especially as I'll be at the Watford game!).

 

[lancs blue]

Sane's performance in particular seems to reach a higher level when Dave is playing.
