It might have only been 45 minutes vs South Korea but his performance was outstanding as well. Its hard for me to imagine that a player so versed in the Spanish national team's way of playing won't fit in with Pep. He looks to have shaken off that injury too which is fantastic.
I remember he hit the bar with a free kick when Bayern turned us over at home a couple of years ago. Can't remember him scoring for us with a free kick, whereas Kolarov and Yaya have scored plenty.
It is a constant problem, he simply has a weakness in his ankles. It's a reoccurring problem, one that may be due to his playing style. His ability to turn on the proverbial sixpence is incredible, but sadly it's also become apparent this season that he is no longer able to like he has in the past.
After Pellegrini's words in his interview, lets hope Silva can get back to full fitness and form.
But sadly I think we have seen the best of him.
I don't care if he is bad at tracking back. We will have 60%+ possession in most of the matches and players will keep their position much better under Pep.
I think this is the thing his boo-boys are overlooking. Pep Guardiola is our manager. No team is going to come out and attack us. No team is going to try and take us on and leave a load of space behind them.
They're all going to sit back on the edge of their box, defend for their lives and try to hit us on the break. We need players with intricate, eye of the needle passes to break down stubborn defences. Players who never lose the ball cheaply because it's too risky to give away possession cheaply in a high line attacking Guardiola team.
In possession there's aren't many players in world football more suited to a Guardiola team than David Silva.
Out of possession he needs to work hard and keep his shape, and I fully expect him to once he has been drilled on the training ground.
