Silva

[AdamManCity]

People have recently said on here that we can cope without silva if he doesn't sign his new deal. Arsenal away last season and Liverpool away yesturday are two game off the top of my head he hasn't started in and it is no surprise they are two of the worst city performances I have seen over the last few seasons. We lacked tempo and got overrun in midfield. Now I know that isn't entirely to do with silva not playing but silva very rarely loses the ball and what he does even better is suck opposition players out of position giving our other players more space to play in themselves. As soon as silva came on yesturday we started to move the ball around much more freely and that is no coincidence, had he been fit and played the whole game it could have been different. He is pretty much irreplaceable and so we should get behind him and convince him that we are desperate for him to stay.

I guess nobody is truly irreplaceable but Big Dave comes close.

Without David Silva our ball retention drops by a large percentage. Everyone else plays better with David in the team.

Looked a lot lot better yesterday when he came on. Another week of rest and he should be perfect for QPR.

I have no doubts a deal will be done. It is just taking time.

With silva in the team and yaya pushed forward we look like a great attacking force. Nasri has started very well this season. I would expect in games where we should win we play these and just go for it.

Agreed, he's a great player and ideally I'd want him to stay for at least the next 3-5 years. No idea who could replace him, perhaps Mata but he'd be far to expensive.

He changed the game yesterday when he came on.

Changed the tempo, calmed the game down. kept the ball, played really well.

The club should ensure he stays, I've no doubt he will.
