David Silva - 2017/18 performances

[FantasyIreland]

Was superb again tonight

No he wasn't.

He scored a wonderful goal and contributed to the three points,however,his passing wasn't brilliant and he failed to get a real grip of midfield as possession stats will support - his overall game was way below his usual standard.

I agree. In fact, I was thinking in the first half up until his goal that maybe this is the first time where Ozil finally manages to have a better game against him. :D Of course, that changed with the wonderful goal. But then again, even KdB wasn't as sharp with his turns and passing as he normally is. Maybe it's just the amount of games kicking in, or the bad ground conditions.

I think that was true for all of our midfield players. Their passing wasn't as crisp as they can be. Yet we still battered them.

Silly stat

You don't say.

 

[Jack74]

Best player ever to wear the shirt

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

clearly we're trying to do the bare minimum at the moment, and we're half the team out of possession without Dinho in midfield.

 

[Neville Kneville]

He was sloppy at times, as was KDB but both also produced the brilliance which few can match & which won us the game before Arsenal knew what hit them.

 

[jaiguruKun]

Like the rest of the team, he was very good in the first half and was clearly playing within himself in the second.

This.

I have to believe that the team was under instruction to primarily not concede and with the ball, primarily keep it. We clearly took our foot off the gas in the 2nd half, only half-heartedly trying to score every so often.

 

[Claytop]

Not bad.
