David Silva - 2018/19 Performances

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

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

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.

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.

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

Definitely not.

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

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.

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

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.
