He's being carried at the moment and we can't afford to carry him. The teams shape off the ball is falling apart when he's on the pitch. He can't run and he's no longer moving the ball quickly enough to free Sterling.

Play him against sides in the bottom half, but against top opposition he should be absolutely nowhere near the starting XI.
You don't half exaggerate,he is still our best controller of the game,he stuck his foot in ok and assisted kev on saturdayWe are not carrying him,nobody is having a great time at the moment,he is not the problem

Here you are blindly defending Silva whilst its clear he's a problem. He shouldn't be in the team.

Yes he should,he is the experience and level headed player we need,are you saying phil or gundy can do what he does? pep doesn't put bernie there much,he is still the best option for the big games

Haha. I do admire your defence of Silva, and I broadly agree that he should be starting big games, but come on, that assist stuff is nonsense so don't try and credit him with things that didn't happen to make him look good. Fernandinho won the ball back, played it to KDB. KDB played it Silva who then attempted a pass to Aguero that was easily blocked before ricocheting twice to KDB. Giving him an assist there is stretching it ridiculously. He didn't even intend to find KDB. Was totally lucky.
 
Some of the people here should feel ashamed about what they are saying about David. I hope in the next few games he produces a man of the match performance which he is still capable of doing. Please remember what he has done for our club.

I'm sure there's every chance that he will produce another MotM performance but it won't change the fact that whilst he might be able to turn back time upon occasion, he can't stop the clock from ticking.

His game is deteriorating and it is perfectly reasonable for people to debate whether the point of him no longer being first choice has arrived or, it it hasn't, how far off it is. People will have differing views on that but it's a subject that can no longer be avoided.

No need for discussion the guy is going at the end of the season. Silva has tonnes of experience and still has a lot to offer. I agree he can’t do 2 games a week but very few if any can at his age.
 
Which are the disrespectful comments specifically?

You wouldn't be doing your usual routine of decrying any fair and balanced critique of an ageing player as disrespectful would you?
There are questions over Mendy but TBF, having watched the Sky coverage of game now, I feel Mendy had a better game than I gave him credit for at the ground. Pep keeps saying Mendy needs lots of games to get back to his best and we will have to wait to see if he is right. I am sure Mendy is capable of more.

We need more than Zin and Angelino but I wouldn't bet against Zin becoming a top LB.

Silva's departure won't be a moment too soon.[/QUOTE]
