In fairness, David Silva is a different type of player to KDB - much more around close control and tight space passes, whereas KDB is the one who finds those impossible passes out of nothing - like Sterling's first away to Palace, Kun's against Liverpool in 2017, those miracle balls against Hughes's Stoke, etc. That was a very key part of our 2017/18 success and most pundits predicted a massive drop in goal output when KDB went down. As it turned out, we had others like Bernardo and Raheem really step up so we papered over the cracks. Similarly, I think our defence will adjust. Not that Aymeric isnt important - but the team is not shaped around one individual.
We will miss him big time in the Liverpool game for sure. No getting around that.
