I'm not sure it's so easy to say we'd have won with Silva, or Kompany, or anybody else. We were complacent in the first half, and paid for it. The second half we were all over them but just couldn't get the ball over the line. That could just as easily have been the case with Silva playing (as it has been in the past too).
Agree with this. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but Silva was poor against Juve and could have just as easily been off the pace today. Fact of the matter is the team we put out should have been good enough to get 3 points, but we love to make life hard for ourselves with shite defending,
