David Silva - 2018/19 Performances

[chaddblue]

He’s getting better

He scores goals on a regular basis these days... whilst also running the game

He needs to sign a 12 month extension like Sergio

 

[blueballs84]

His finishing has been surperb in the last 2 seasons. It's come on in leaps and bounds. His finishing for us now like he used to for the Spanish national team.

 

[ninjamonkey]

In reality though, no. He was never the type of player that would age poorly given his game isn't based on physical attributes. He's just in a team that is pretty much custom built for him and displays his magic beautifully. Great to see yes picking up some more plaudits from none city fans, it's only took them a decade to notice. A player of the year award is surely on the cards and merited.

Another shirt number retiring when he goes.
Best City player ever.
Saw Colin play and never thought I would say that.
A true joy to watch.

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.

Agreed. On both points.

 

[TonyM]

He seems physically faster and stronger than before. Hope h doesn’t sprain his wrist or the ragrumors will fly.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

He's obviously better when there are players making intelligent runs around him. We've got that now more than ever. But his own runs have been great too, which is why he's scoring more.

 

[Bill Walker]

Class player, any managers dream. He keeps getting better. Hopefully another 2 or 3 seasons.

 

[bluesteel]

Silva and De Bruyne, might be better than Xavi & Iniesta. There you go, I said it.

Anyone have that video of his goal vs (Colombia?) where he put in a reducer on the full back and slotted it?
