He was running and gliding past challenges all game. Some of the stuff you could have swore was Messi - there was a ten minute spell in the second half where he must have accelerated past 3/4 challenges on a few separate occasions, playing one twos in and around the area nearly scoring. Literally Messi stuff... Yeah his final ball and finishing let him down a tad today unusually, but i'd love to see that Silva more often.

Really good performance in general I thought. Defensive lapses aside... Swansea are a good team and another day that would have been 5-0.
I thought Silva was quite sloppy with his passing in the first half but, it only seemed to make him more determined, which I thought was great. He didn't drop the head, we worked hard and as you say above there was a spell, where you could see he just got the bit between his teeth and decided to just go through them.
It didn't quite come off for him, but what I liked about him and also Aguero who by his standards was having an off day in the box, was that neither of them stopped working for the team. Aguero came deep quite often and held the ball up great to link up with the midfield coming out of defence. Bony did it well in his cameo also.
I thought the work rate all around has improved and this above all else, when we are not firing on all cylinders, is what is getting us results, where we were dropping points before.
