David Silva - 2019/20 Performances

[domalino]

He's playing ok but he's a luxury we just can't afford at the moment.

He's playing OK on the ball, but he's just not running any more. He's not dragging defenders around, he's not making runs into the box and he's not pressing and it's killing us.

I would genuinely go so far as to say it's our biggest problem right now, because the midfield press breaking down is exposing the defence, and his lack of running is really hampering us breaking teams down.

And it's sad because like I said, when it actually comes to him being on the ball, he's fine.

Now , now karen , dont stoop to others levels , Merlin was poor today in hindsight Gundogan or Foden would have contributed more , just a shame some of our support cannot allow an absolute genius of a player a little leeway in the twilight of his career. But it take all sorts.

No point in blaming Silva. He didn’t play well but neither did most of the team. Stirling was a lazy in the first half. Jogging back after their counters. No bloody wonder Angelino was getting roasted. Defend as a team, attack as a team. If the team don’t perform one man carries the can. The manager.

A season of mediocrity dedicated to our greatest player.


That’s how I feel.

I wish he would shoot for us as much as he did for Spain

Pep and like four posters in this thread are the only people alive who think Silva can play multiple games a week at this point of his career. Totally baffling why we’re doing this.

Who says he can play multiple games in a week other than pe?

He looks like someone who's in his last week at work before retirement. No idea why he's getting so many starts when Foden's on the bench and Bernardo is being wasted out wide. Pep's got this so, so wrong in my opinion.

That is our problem and first half we let them play forward. Second half we pressed effectively and they were limited to hoofs which we can clean up easy.
