David Silva - 2018/19 Performances

[ws01]

Genius.

 

[jaiguruKun]

Covered the most distance of any City player tonight with 11.75 kilometres.

What a star he is!

We are definitely reaping the benefits of him having retired from international football.

 

[Dax777]

Hats off. That was a fantastic performance.

Is el Mago getting better??

I really think his game improved last season and is again this. Is it really possible or just me thoughts??

Can he get better than perfect?

 

[singcat]

Agreed. He should be tiring and ageing but is just improving - we are so lucky

 

[Blue Til Death]

I reckon he will finally peak at 50, then just be utterly brilliant fir another 10 seasons ...!

 

[Ban-jani]

Can he get better than perfect?

He gave it away twice tonight.

The only downside I can think of.

Other than that it was nothing short of world class.

He’s the best attacking mid in the world and has been since Iniesta and Xavi got too old, even then I think he’s been on their level, had he played at Barca he’d have not been out of place with those two and Messi.

 

[quiet_riot]

The extra rest afforded to him by international retirement is our gain.

Superb. Possibly in his best ever form for us.

 

[blue wang]

He Pulls the Strings!

David will play until he is good and ready to leave the game.

Untill then....he pulls the strings

 

[ScottSinclair]

I think the horrible situation he was in last year has strenghtened his metality even more, and now that Mateos thankfully healthy he is really energized.

I think the plan all along was to rest him a lot this season and almost have him play second fiddle to the like of Bernie(who is marvellous I might add) and Gundo but he has come back an even better player

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

I've criticised him in the past on two counts. One was not scoring enough and the other was his failure to show consistent leadership and grab games by the scruff of the neck.

Can't say that these days.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Words fail me , never seen a more complete midfield player who consistently performs week in week out , an absolute genius , and just on another level tonight.

 

[sir baconface]

He’s matured like a fine wine and, if anything, become more self-confident. Scoring more too. Although energetic, he makes it look almost effortless.

Just love the guy.

 

[kippaxchris]

Yes in all ways possible

 

[cleavers]

That first half tonight was one of his best ever performances for us, to hear even savage waxing lyrical about him is very nice.

 

[mrbelfry]

I think he's more consistent now both during a match and also over a 5-6 game period. It helps him having so many options moving ahead of him and his partnership with Sane is something else. His timing now seems much more in sync with the team than before. He often delays a beat or two when you think he should pass it before he does and I think the team we have now has the raw pace to make the most of that.

 

[citymad]

He was outstanding tonight and yes he looks like he's better than ever. I agree with ScottSinclair about Matteo. It's strengthened his outlook on life and at work.

 

[Wigan_Citizen]

He's a contemporary Stanley Matthews.

 

[singcat]

I've criticised him in the past on two counts. One was not scoring enough and the other was his failure to show consistent leadership and grab games by the scruff of the neck.

So true - he has become a leader and some of the goals he has scored recently have been crucial
