Finnegan Posted 11 August 2018 Posted 11 August 2018 I think he's pretty good tbh. Every now and then he seems to relax too much and his passing radar switches off and god knows what happens. But the rest of the time he's solid and quite creative.
Fox92 Posted 11 August 2018 Posted 11 August 2018 I think he's good and he'll grow into us. Future captain.
Ian Nacho Posted 11 August 2018 Posted 11 August 2018 I thought Silva played really well. Sometimes didn't chose the right option and his passes were sloppy sometimes but everyone is like that this stage of the season.
TheSomersetFox Posted 11 August 2018 Posted 11 August 2018 Thought he was pretty good yesterday. He keeps things ticking. Clearly not the all-action midfielder some are hoping him to be, tends to keep things simple and I like that. Would continue to start him over Iborra as it stands.
cropstonfox Posted 11 August 2018 Posted 11 August 2018 Not has good as we thought he might be following all the hype. But pretty steady and reliable .Could get better needs a bit more stamina and pace to be a top premier midfielder.No goal threat.

Leicester_Loyal Posted 11 August 2018 Posted 11 August 2018 13 hours ago, TrentFox said: Totally agree. But, a bit like Chilwell and Fuchs last year, he has to play now and be given a run. I thought he was very poor tonight. Ineffective. But we have to give him a chance to grow into that role. He clearly has talent. It is our weakest position though, next to Wilf who I thought was outstanding. He definitely needs a run of games. We need to pick our 11 and stick with them where possible for the next few games.

RowlattsFox Posted 11 August 2018 Posted 11 August 2018 I thought he was ok last night, kept things ticking over without creating too much. Needs to play so he can form a relationship with Maddison and Gray as they like there little one twos.

Guest Col city fan Posted 11 August 2018 Posted 11 August 2018 Why does discussing a player on here have to be considered scapegoating? There are as many positive comments on the thread as negative ones? Is the forum so ridiculous that we can’t discuss a player’s ability, form, importance to the team without it being ‘scapegoating’?
StriderHiryu Posted 11 August 2018 Posted 11 August 2018 Regarding keeping the team ticking over - Fernandinho and Jorginho perform similar roles for other teams so it’s worth having a close look at them and seeing how Silva compares. They obviously cost more money but it can be useful to see what they do that Silva doesn’t. Last year at Napoli Jorginho was their metronome when I saw them play. Didn’t assist or specifically create but every attack seemed to go through him at some point and he rarely if ever lost the ball. Basically he helped set a high tempo throughout the game.

Didn’t assist or specifically create but every attack seemed to go through him at some point and he rarely if ever lost the ball. Basically he helped set a high tempo throughout the game. This is very much how I saw Silva play yesterday. He kept the ball moving, made himself regularly available to receive the ball off the defence. Chased down the opposition, got involved further up the pitch as well and looked very comfortable on the ball in the most part. With a pass completion of 85% he was above the team average and when you consider that most of the 15% were forward probing passes I don't have an issue. Yes there were 2 (that I can recall) where he brain farted and messed up what should have been an easy option. Pisses me off how so many of the FT forum just focus on the small mistakes instead of seeing the positive contribution made. Like Wilf last night, can't believe some people thought he had a poor game, he was involved all over the pitch and yet all folk see is one or two stray passes. I'd much rather have a player 'Wanting' and showing for the ball to help their team mates out rather than hiding and shying away. Lets re-assess after a nice run of 10 games or so, in my mind he is a definite upgrade on King and James.
SheppyFox Posted 11 August 2018 Posted 11 August 2018 He did well last night against a strong opposition midfield, we dominated and controlled most of the game. He is only going to get better too
katieakita Posted 11 August 2018 Posted 11 August 2018 Well was only watching the game on MUTV aka Sky Sports and though know expert unlike the Sky pundits him and Wilf were up against Pogba and Fred who are the best central midfield pairing ever and thought they more than held their own. Guy has had a horrid 12 months and showed more than enough for me to get a little time. He worked well with Wilf for me and linked up play nicely, when we get over run by lesser teams then worry

He keeps things simple but as his confidence grows I am sure we will see more creativity. I like the look of him.

And an international many times over. I expected him to adjust really quickly and just look ‘confident’. I think the problem is he’s actually too lightweight and slow. His game is akin to slower build up play, keep ball and not the 100mph that the Prem brings. I’m just not sure he’ll get suited to football in the Premiership.

You may well be right and he might not adjust to the premier league. He is getting on, and a international but he needs a run of games for us to see what he is about.
Claridge Posted 11 August 2018 Posted 11 August 2018 Been completely ineffective in most gams and we seem to lose when he plays.Iborra is miles better
Unabomber Posted 11 August 2018 Posted 11 August 2018 Don’t think anyone thinks he is bad he clearly is good. Hope we all get behind him

This is the first time we can really judge him though, with a preseason and not losing half a season due to a clerical error. Held his own without looking spectacular, but he was up against one of the best midfielders in the world in Pogba. If there's still issues in October when he's had a proper run into a season, then revisit these complaints
