David Silva

[Damanino]

Defensively I liked him, worked a lot, really.

But his final passes always are always wrong, and this made me very angry. If he could just find the strikers once with a good ball maybe we win.

He is starting to win back his fighting, that is maybe the start.

Also Yaya his passes/shots were weak as hell.Just like with Silva.

Should have been hooked off for Tevez instead of Dzeko.

Thats what I thought too. Even he did, looked to the sideline expectantly when the whistle was blown for the sub.

He'll find his form. Hopefully!

Congratulations to everyone who said Nasri injury was a blessing in disguise. He has been better than Silva this season. Silva needs to find his form fast.

Everyone as in the forum big mouths. Nasri was badly missed today.

 

[bluefandk]

I agree that Silva has been poor so far this season, hopefully he will find his form quickly we really need him.

Hopefully he will prove that form is temporary and class is permanent.

 

[citymad]

Nothing came off of him today but fair do's to the arse they had two brilliant centre backs today who read everything he did.

 

[rickmcfc]

Very poor yet again. When did he last put in a decent performance, say 8/10?

 

[Heart.net]

He looked sound defensively, but his passing has been missing.

 

[joezilla]

Should have been hooked off for Tevez instead of Dzeko.

my thoughts exactly. tevez can play this position perfectly.

no he cant

tevez can make the perfect pass when he wants to.

I think he needs a trip to Mr Ollivanders.....

 

[BlueMoonWalker]

What do we do with Silva? Stick with him and accept he may be more of a hindrance until he improves. Or drop him and push Yaya into his position and start Barry/Rodwell instead and hope the rest and training brings back the magic?

I don't know what the answer is but he needs to improve quickly for his and our sake.

 

[SamCity123]

I keep having heated discussions in our pub that his class must be permanent.

I feel sorry for him every bad pass he makes, but it is clear he isn't there.

I'd drop him, play Rodwell and Garcia and Yaya behind the two strikers while Nasri is out.

 

[Sick Swan]

what he does do, even when playing badly, is take his man out of the game, sometimes two men.

So it's not all bad news, get well soon Dave

Probably won more tackles than anyone today. The effort is there, the touch will come.

 

[fablue]

Immense player, but today he played as he does in the Spanish National team.
He always passed the ball to the red ones.

Agreed ......

his passing was poor today.

 

[Miss City]

Silva is a classy player which every other team in the league would kill for.

He's just going through a dodgy patch...all players have them.

it's not easy to not do that as it doesn't matter what player is in better position, he'll try to pass to Aguero any time.

 

[cookster]

Silva and Toure has 3-4 chances each to play easy balls through to either Dzeko, Kun and Tevez.

Everytime they hit the Arsenal player, I don't know what is going on!

 

[Benarbia]

To me he doesn't seem interested anymore

 

[krdskrm]

Mertesacker has been immense lately. Silva is still class.

Move on, guys.
