A thread pops up asking "Where are we going to put Silva?".. Many aren't quite sure.. Then he comes back, bosses it, and we all look a bit silly..
Another injury..
Some more good performances..

Bayern 2, City 3..
And don't we all feel daft again :D
What. A. Player.
He's been world class all season. The only sensible response to the 'where are we going to put silva' question when posed was 'first on the team sheet then we worry about everyone else '. That's been the case for all of his city career, but this season he has been at his majestic best.
We would have lost comfortably without him tonight. Remember how he changed the home game against bayern too? He bossed the game as soon as he came on. He delivers at the very highest level.
And he's ours. As you say, what a player. Nobody does it better.
