David Silva - 2018/19 Performances

[worsleyweb]

He was ok tonight.

 

[domalino]

Looks knackered. Miles below where he was in October/November when he was playing some of the best football of his career.

Upcoming international break will refresh him a bit hopefully because we need him at his best in the CL.

He has a midweek off next week (well, we all do for once) and then he has the international break off.

Will do him some good!

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Needs to shave his bonce to get his powers back.

 

[Claytop]

Please come back.

 

[mosssideblue]

Going slightly off the boil for me is the great man.

Age is a ****.

Tell me about it :)

 

[Trojan1962]

Seems to have lost a yard of pace when we’re attacking sadly

 

[purplenose]

I would not be too quick to assume his powers are diminishing..been a tough year for him. His indian summer I think is yet to come.

Not complaining about missing sitters then-double standards?

Fell better for that offering? Good for you.

Poor until KDB went off then this seemed to free him up in the spaces he loves..... it may be he was finding the shape a little congested with Kev in there. Anyway, his experience in the run in will be essential, that can be the difference in these scenarios!

I said it myself a couple of games back,we are smothering our midfield trying to fit KDB,Silva and Bernardo in.We are much better with the less is more approach in the centre of the park.

Sorry don’t give a shit what purple nose people think most of the time

Then why respond?

As soon as Kev went off he stepped up big time. Involved in everything.

I think we may see him back to his best with no de Bruyne in the next month. Bernardo doing the running and David pulling the strings.

That’s when we’ve been at our best this season (as much as Kev is a superstar).

Same here.
The different personalities and styles of play have some side effect.

With KDB making the game we've seen David going into the box
but standing on Sergio's feet right in the center for several occasions.

On the other hand KDB's driven dominance is limiting Mahrez's game, whose skills are wasted far out at the side line.

There are several points of fine tuning Pep should improve, IMO.

I also think a better communication between the lads during the match would be helpful.

 

[Pete Campbell]

Was a part of every good thing we did vs Bournemouth. Has been a bit off but shows how valuable he is to us.

 

[Gabriel]

Absolutely ridiculous that nobody has commented on him today, so here goes. Ran his socks off, as ever, and played two of the most exquisite passes in for the second and third goals. If we end up winning the league, it'll be largely down to days like today, when the magician weaves his magic and unlocks the door. If Liverpool had half of his creativity in their midfield, I'd be much more fearful.

 

[waspish]

Was poor first half and was always playing as an extra striker second half back to how we know he can play.

 

[kaz7]

I think that first tackle took a while to run off,2nd half he was great,moving the ball quicker helped them all
