Player Topic: David Silva (2015/16)

Probably the best post ive ever seen on bm.

You obviously missed my frappening post last year then ;)

can we see Silva and De Bruyne in the same team?

It's being posed as one or the other. Silva weaves, De Bruyne runs. Why can't Silva play De Bruyne in on goal. Don't see why they can't play together in front of the two Ferns

Problem is we need width. Often Pellers is playing Silva LW & KdB RW, neither are naturally wide players. Sterling also cuts in from the left. Our only player who provides width is Navas.

For me to fit them both in you'd have to go KdB left, Silva central & Navas right; unless Sterling is willing & able to do a Navas type job on the right. (Or a change of formation of course)

The arrival of Pep will rejuvenate Merlin's stance in our squad, when he's on his game he's the best passer in the league bar none. Pep will embrace that talent not discard it?

Pep could put him in the Alonso role

I don't know why we can't just replace Yaya with Kev.

Aguero
Sterling Silva Navas
Dinho Kev

Something like that. I think he could do a good job bombing forward from midfield as well as setting up attacks with his passing range.

Because his defensive work is no better than Toure's and his passing is worse.

Don't think that solves much for me, we know Toure can play that role well, why swap him to KdB? Would have the exact same problems as Yaya does in that position but without the physicality bonus.

It's tough to fit Sterling, Silva, KdB & Toure into a team without it being unbalanced in the 4-2-3-1 formation.

Silva..Kevin..Sterling
.....Delph....Dihno

I think that will work

Still doesn't fit Yaya, KdB, Silva & Sterling into the team :-P.

Personally don't like Silva on the wing, even less so than KdB so would prefer them switched; but agree with the general concept of trying Sterling on the right, if he could do a Navas-esque job but with more end product then he'd be a great option out there. That would also be my preferred CM partnership, plenty of legs.
