David Silva

I'll humour you.....

The entire Spanish team were very poor by their high standards.

David silva,as i have already commented,could not influence the game.
 
Silva was far better than any other attacking mids Spain had on though. Fabregas, Iniesta and Nolito we're all trash. Near the end Iniesta started playing a bit but Silva was the pick of the litter troughout the match.

Really sad how a Sunderland / Bologna player can be twice the player any of the above mentioned were today.

I thought they were all of a similarly poor standard today,a lack of cohesion and a lack of heart was the issue.

Silva will not be an automatic choice under Pep IMO.

You can't expect "heart" from a bunch of 50kg playmakers getting tossed around by De Rossi, Parolo, Pelle and the like. It was the managers fault 110%. No strenght and toughness in the midfield, Busquets is a crybaby that can't take a challenge without throwing a fit and isn't fit for the role. A team only needs one of Iniesta/Silva/Fabregas to be honest.
 
Had a good tournament on the whole. Looks like he's injury free and can get some deserved rest. That'll do me.

So we agree about Spain......what about Nolito ?

Ive tried to be polite,i sent you a pm requesting you stay on topic,you brought Nolito into it,and subsequently gained my attention...... by ridiculously labelling him a Championship player.....you then attempted to be a smart arse by use of selective quoting.

So,if you want to continue contributing to this thread,discuss David Silva and do so in a sensible manner.
 
The one positive of this tournament was the form and particularly the fitness of David Silva.

But I would love to know how his "ankle injury' disappears when he plays for Spain.

It doesn't disappear - what happens is he's afforded a bit more space for Spain and the intensity that the Premier league brings isn't as full on. Every single game he plays for us results in kicks to the ankle area. Most are discreet and a little niggly but others more blatant and unfortunately the refs allow it week after week resulting in it (his ankle) giving in on a much more regular basis.

Hw was not last night, he was playing Italians that were 100% up for it, they were taking no prisoners, and in my opinion that's how the game should be played.

I didn't see him getting deliberately kicked on the ankle last night. Italy were in their faces and worked hard off the ball but that didn't mean they were kicking the Spanish players all over the pitch.
Silva gets at least one kick on the ankle a game in the league.

When the ex manager of our club each week made a public statement that Silva had an ankle problem is it any wonder the opposition go looking for the said ankle, they would be stupid not to.

Im not disagreeing with that. Just pointing out the difference between the league and international games.

I think the initial ankle problem was from a Euro 16 qualifier playing for Spain

The one this season was yeah. He never quite recovered from that, though there were positive signs for Spain.
It's not a new occurrence though, he's been targeted for a couple of seasons now. Hopefully see a return to full fitness in time for the new season.
