Silva criticisers need to realise the amount of New players at City, this brings individualism.
as the squad progress with training and familiarity players will define their roles in the TEAM and begin to work together more.
This on paper will bring more service for the likes of Dzeko who thrive on it. probably why Mancini chooses to leave him on the bench for now and start more individuals ala Balo & Tev
Silva is immense and as the squad progresses he will fit nicely as a servant for the front men.
very true this...they are still getting to know each other's ways no doubt about it...but someone had a go at Silva about him leaving Valencia and not making the spanish national starting 11, and I have to agree with that too...he is a bit of a one man show, he loves to finish it himself rather than go for an obvious pass, not saying he's crap, he's probably one of the most important players at city, but obvious passes have to be made, even though you don't know the player that well...
someone noted one pass Silva should have played to Dzeko but chose to go alone instead, here is another one, if you have the match downloaded go to 72:50 watch Silva shake off the challenge and turn...he has two options, Yaya, and Dzeko, running into open space between two CB's...through ball onto Dzeko's right foot would mean a goal...Silva gois infield himself...
Anyway, not a dig at Silva, it comes with drill, and Mancini has to do it in the next pre-season period, those are the things that should be done instinctively, automatically without much thinking...future is bright for you...
