David Silva

[Aguero_Element]

Even if Silva is out this doesn't mean we can't beat Chelsea. Nasri in fairness has done pretty well over the last two games and could fill the void . Unlike united, city don't need to rely on any one individual to raise their game.

nasri did alright against chelsea when we won the title!

Rodwell should be fit for this and Nasri may step up if he is put in role of main playmaker, Yaya will be ready too. Chelsea may be tired out by their trip to Rubin Kazan.

If he's out Sunday, Yaya must play in an advanced role.

This.

Zabba---Kompany---Nastasic---Clichy

Get well soon David.

If David needs me to take some time off work to spend the next few days rubbing his leg i'm all for it! In a strictly non-homo way!

I agree, but ain't Rodwell supposed to be fit for this? Could take Milner's spot and put Milner in Nasri's place, so Rodwell for Nasri. I'm not too worried, with this win, I have confidence the team will take the momentum and carry on to a win on Sunday.

Like all blues hope Silvas ok, but if Nasri playes like he did tonight we should be good enough.

Hope you're ok Merlin and you were just giving the lads a breather.

I thought Nasri was poor tonight. He did have a role in the first goal but he regularly lost the ball, ahowed only glimpses of desire to retain or win the ball, and he was slow in getting back into defensive positions. Our worst player tonight, IMO.

Silva didn't have a great game, admittedly because he had little to aim his passes at. However, at least he shown desire to retain and win the ball, as well as help out his defenders.

Am actually quite concerned about this and has put a dampener on tonight. People underestimate how vital he is to our team. We just play better with him in the team he keeps us ticking over.
