Re: David Silva appreciation thread
We at no point in our short CL history, have ever been, head and shoulders the best side in Europe, with the best player on the planet in our side. Xavi and Iniesta both were part of that Barcelona team. Replace Iniesta with Silva and nothing much really changes, apart from the fact people would regard Silva as the best attacking midfielder of this generation.
Also opinion isn't just being based on this one game, for the last 12+ months he's been better than Iniesta, he's IMO been far and away the best player of his type in Europe. Have a look over on RedCafe, even Utd fans regard him currently to be the best around, performing better than Iniesta etc...

At the risk of coming off like a whopping cock, a good game against Villa isn't going to change my opinion on Silva in any huge way (For the record, I think he's marvellous). He needs to step up and start running our champions league games, because for all those questioning why he isn't spoke of in the same vein as Xavi and Iniesta, the CL is the sole fence left to clear. If we went and won the CL with him scoring in the final, he would be up there, no question. Doing well against Villa.. And people are surprised why he gets less recognition?
