Adrien Silva

[GingerrrFox]

The **** is everyone watching? Our central midfield was one of the only plus points of that game. 

[theessexfox]

Loves chipping it out of play.

[KFS]

God knows what I was watching if the rest thought he was shit. Personally thought he was the stand out.

[Beechey]

I thought he had a good game? Should have had an assist if not for an amazing save

[Monsell1976]

 the bloke not been given a run of games, a new league, a massive **** up that didn’t allow him to kick a ball for half a season, a proven international, but on a forum that thinks Okazaki, albrighton, James are great he’s shit ? 

 Ffs give the bloke a break, let’s see how he is next season.

[LCFC hub]

Think he fit in better in a 3 man midfield where he can break forward more with less defensive responsibility. 

 

Gives the ball away too much, but think its about adapting to the Premier. 

 

[Kopfkino]

Portuguese Robbie Savage. Can't pass a ball

[Merging Cultures]

Forget this, not had a run of games, new league rubbish. He's a professional footballer who is being paid a fortune. He needs to slot in and perform. He's been at the club for a while, he has trained with our team, they will have shown him the physicality and pace of the league in training. If he can't take that experience and use it in a match, then he isn't good enough. 

[Kasey Keller]

Absolute fraud

[ZeGuy]

Here we go again. 

 

Easy scapegoat today.

[Tanya]

He was poor, but showed glimpses of class. I know he should be up to speed by now, but I'm not ready to toss him away just yet. I'm hopeful he can come good. Please prove me right, Adrien!

 

Still fuming about Morgan's performance but this is not the thread for it.

[steflcfc]

Silva I feel we will see more of the player we were hoping to sign next season, in system we should be implementing around him as when he got around 25 yards from goal he has the vision to pick out passes.

 

He had a disastrous start with the debacle of his signing and I bet it’s look him a while to get up to match fitness without a regular run of games, and no gym/training ground will get you ready for football in the premiership.

 

Although I have been surprised at some basic passes he got wrong today and over hit.

 

We need to get midfield settled next season as constantly changes with King/Iborra/Silva/James now Hamza surely hasn’t helped anyone at all.

[Beechey]

I despair at some of the so-called fans on this forum, I really do. The man has started what, 5 or 6 League games (Portugal included) in like 11 months?

Not sure anyone is singling him out - just stating that he was/is poor. 

 

Morgan was probably worse today. KS gave me a heart attack a few times. Simpson and Okazaki...

I agree that Morgan was probably worse, but Silva was playing against one of the most physical teams in the league, getting no helps from the forwards until Iheanacho came on with Choudhury (who despite playing well) is still only 20 years old and very inexperienced.

You don't forget how to play football!! Especially as he has been training daily.

 

The guy kept kicking it out of play.

There is a huge difference between playing and training.

[LCFC1996]

Time for the latest scapegoat then? Thought he had a good game personally.

[baldeagle]

Let just see how he plays the next few games along side Ndidi who happens to be our best midfielder and not a youth team player

[David Hankey]

We were promised so much before the bodged transfer yet all we've had is a deflated balloon. Not the player we anticipated and joins a long line of players who have not proved their worth. Have our owners really got money to squander?

[filbertway]

I like him. Silky on the ball and will only improve more as he gets used to it over here. One of the few players in the team that can receive the ball under pressure and doesn't panic. Absolutely lovely ball through for Vardy who should have absolutely buried the chance.

Sorry did Silva decide his price?

[KingsX]

In these two starts he's played pretty decently.  Obviously too many misdirected passes today which is what people are (over) reacting to IMO.

 

He is coming out of some physical 50-50 challenges with the ball, encouraging since coping with PL physicality has been a question mark.

 

To me he looks a class player with a ton of rust to knock off.  Let's give him five more starts with Ndidi and see.  Quite optimistic he will do a job for us next season.

[StriderHiryu]

He gives the ball away too cheaply but is a good player. The first central midfielder we’ve had since maybe Izzet who can actually create something. Is that enough? Still early days in his career here but I think the signs are promising. He’s improving with every game.
