David Silva - 2018/19 Performances

[OrigamiNinja]

He should be squad player for the remainder of his contract. All players decline eventually, Iniesta started declining around at the same age.

He’s not declined though, that’s the baffling thing. His form has just fallen off a cliff, he was excellent for 2/3rds of the season and then overnight just turd.

He worked his socks off to cover for kev,anyone who writes him off didn't learn last time they did it

I’m not writing him off, I love the guy. I am hoping that given we have not seen a slow, steady decline, we can expect him to be back to his best next season.

Sorry i didn't mean you

He is clearly not the David Silva of old - that dosn't make him a bad player just not as good as he was

while he continues to do a lot of things very well, the game changing moments are becoming less and less

seems to need an extra touch now and seems about half a second slower mentally - still the finest player (bar the King possibly) I've ever seen in a city shirt

The problem with players the wrong side of thirty , is when they have a few below par games they are easily written off , Merlin shouldnt be in the starting eleven at the moment because his form has dropped alarmingly , but i do believe he has another 12 months in his legs and will be a very useful squad member , i dont think we will see the dynamic , twisting and turning Merlin of old , but a steadier player who is useful for seeing games out and keeping possession. In 12-18 months i think Foden will be the ready made replacement for Merlin , which will be great timing.

When it comes to the crunch Silva will turn it on more than he is now that what world class players do.

I love David but I think he should not be starting at the moment. Father Time and all that. Greatest player I have ever seen play for us. I don’t want this to be ruined by playing him when he is unable to do what he has previously done.

Been a bit off since he changed his boots and grew his hair back.
