David Silva

[Blumers Bloomers]

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

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.

Every one one on here see's the game different, but I thought he put more effort in to winning the ball back tonight than I have all season.

Me too - I have been a big critic of Nasri but he put in a shift last night. Would still prefer to start Sunday with Dave, but if he's out Nasri should be able to do a job on last night's showing

Was hoping we'd have heard something by now.

We'll probably hear something at Bobby's presser tomorrow. Encouraging that he hasn't been completely ruled out yet.

If you read what he says though he says that "city sources " said , once the word sources is used move on, he may not make it but this means he knows as much as me and you .

Ladyman usually has good scoop on injuries and such, though it took no genius to know he won't be ready for Sunday.

The fact that we have heard nothing is good news. Had he definitely been out then it is likely that the club would have said so in advance - give people the time to get used to it so it is not too big a downer on the day n all that, whereas if he is fit keeping it quiet until the team is announced would be a nice positive feelgood factor. Doesn't mean he will play but I am not seeing it as bad news. Also if everything ladyboy had ever said about our club was correct then our owners and top players would all have fucked off by now
