David Silva - 2018/19 Performances

[nellyonthewing]

The rags will have a field day if he plays because we'll effectively go with 10 men.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

He’s definitely on the wane, but still got a significant part to play imo. People are writing him off too soon.

Imo he would be better if he wasnt forced to start every single game basically.

Interesting to see if he starts Saturday. I agree, he’s been played way too much and he’s suffering as a result.

 

[bluethai]

He's in old Yaya mode now, in big game, should be used as sub to slow down play and seal game off only though.

Just going to say this. When he went off against palace I noticed they had more of the ball, he needs to be used in last 10 mins to hold the ball and keep possession

 

[City_Sean]

He's been below par for four months now. He should be below Foden in the pecking order. Last night he was terrible in a game we really needed him to recapture his magic.

We are not writing him off , we are merely asking why is he not rotated.

Hopefully that’s the end of him most overrated player in City history ever , had 2 very good seasons in 10 his most important goals where against Hull and Blackpool away last night was the first time where even loyal Silva fans had enough , hope you are well mate

This is probably the biggest load of shit written in the history of this forum.

You very nearly got me then.

Nice try.

 

[Clercqs]

What I don't understand is that his decision making and passing have completely gone in relation to which age should not really be a factor.

That’s why I’m thinking it got lots to do with him being mentally tired as well as a small physical decline. I think he’ll be good again come next season, but he’s played too much this season already.

Some are, maybe you’re not one of them.

 

[markbmcfc]

Ok I will reason with you , do you think David Silva is Manchester City’s best player ever ?

Well I haven't seen every City player ever so it's not a question I can properly give, but no, I don't.

However i'd say, between him and Kevin, he's in the top two I've seen since 1985. They are both better than the other at different things so difficult to say one is better than the other overall. David's vision, ability in tight spaces, ability to find space and until the last four months or so, his decision making and use of the ball make him the best I've seen. His long passing and ability in front of goal are probably not even in the top 10.

Regardless of any of that, "2 very good seasons in 10" is absolute horseshit.

 

[bluemonkey71]

He needs a rest

Exactly. With KDB out for most of the season he’s been overplayed. Can’t believe some of the shit posted on here about him.

 

[toffee balls]

Definitely not.

However, time waits for no man and it’s costing us in my humble opinion.

 

[MarsLlama]

Not angry with Silva.

Angry with Pep for still playing him. He's needed to be dropped for months.

Silva is THE Premier League Player of the Decade. I defy ANYONE to argue that anyone not named Aguero might deserve it more. Clearly he has something wrong with him at the moment. His form is astonishingly bad.

Knowing this club, in a few months it'll come out that he's been playing with heel pain since Christmas because for some fucking reason that's what we do here rather than just give them time off to recover.

I don't think he's done for us yet. If he has a summer off he can come back stronger. His decline has been too rapid not to have some mitigating circumstances.

Time is the ultimate mitigating circumstance :-(

What did he do wrong last night? We scored 4 goals whilst he was on the pitch? Was he responsible for any of their goals? I’m not sure why he is getting so much stick.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Silva is great but some points could be made about Yaya's immense influence in the 2011/2012 and 2013/2014 seasons. Yaya has to be up there with the best of them. Kun,Vinny,Yaya, Silva

 

[razman]

Love you silva.... but hope he doesn't start the next few games now

He's not doing anywhere near enough both creatively and off the ball. His touch has been very poor and that corner he attempted in the first half basically summed his last four months up.
