I'm not sure why you think this? Personally I've unfortunately never had the chance to watch a City match live, but I absolutely love David Silva exactly for the reasons that you mention. The subtilities of which you speak do howewer show better on screen than in the stadium, I feel. It's zoomed in, it has replays etc. Whenever I go watch Belgium or Anderlecht live, it's the same thing. It's only watching the game again afterwards that you discover some of the subtle masterpieces players show on the pitch.You could never appreciate those subtleties from watching on TV. I think that is a big reason why the casual football fan doesn't appreciate Silva as much as the match going City fan. It's impossible to appreciate his game from a highlight reel, you have to appreciate the whole game and see his and other players movement off the ball and how he knits the whole team together.
I think you may be mistaking with the general feeling of excitement that exists only in a stadium and that is generated whenever someone pulls of a great skill to a point where it even amplifies that piece of skill into something a lot bigger than it perhaps actually was. And that is absolutely beautiful and you can't reproduce it in your home, not even with dolby suround and all that :) But just objectively watching and analyzing the game - I know I'm on repeat now but so are you :) - is best done in front of a screen.
