Yeah that sums it up best for me, and I agree with mcfc1632's analysis about there being more to come from some players, i.e Balotelli.

[CITYSTEVEDON]

i went for silva as he can unlock the defence for our strikeforce to score goals, but i think everyone in our squad will be a assist for the rest of our season

[saulman]

It's a very tough question. I think the whole team should be built around Silva and NDJ and both should play whenever possible.

I voted for Silva because I think he's just going to get better and better as the season progresses. I'm not sure NDJ can actually get much better.

[Original Dub]

Tevez has been our most important player for over a year now.

How some of you have to come the conclusion he won't continue to be I just don't know.

He has, but you must have seen the recent change in form for the whole team? We don't look like we need him to drag us through matches like we used to, ever since Yaya and Silva began to click.

[Chinners]

NDJ and Silva are very important but for me it's still the man that wins most of our points with his unreal goal/game ratio, [strike]RSC[/strike] Tevez

Whilst I agree he's been our most important player and up until recently we've been pretty much a one man team, especially from an attacking point of view, I don't believe that this will be the case come the Summer.
I think over the course of the second half of the season, Silva will become the man targeted by the opposition and I believe Nigel will be the man to stop the opposition. I think our games will be won or lost in the middle of the park and these two will pretty much boss the coming games in their own way.

The way I can see the midfield taking shape, I think that any one of our strikers could be important for the back end of the season. Whether that's Tevez, Balotelli or even Dzecko or a combination of all of them remains to be seen.

Also, I don't view Tevez in the same light anymore. I think that every game he plays from now till the end of the season will be another game in the shop window. Whilst he'll continue to be important to the team and our final standing at the end of the season, I can't see him as being part of any of our long term plans.

[Blue Blood]

Silva for me.

He is the rolls royce in the heart of our team, anything we do well he has had his hand in.

[Dubaimancityfan]

Silva is an obvious choice of course and he's already proven how valuable he's become for us and will be even more in the 2nd half of the season. But I voted for Yaya whom I think will surprise us (even more) and win us games like he did at West Ham.

[Socrates]

Hi Ho Silva Away!

Same. I think we need to look at players who haven't shone so far to step up as the season wears on. I was thinking Vieira or Yaya for experience and a cool head, running into the final straight of a title tilt.

[DeJong4PM]

was tough but i say kompany.

[craigmcfc]

NDJ without question for me. We have players to fill all positions on the field if someone is out injured or suspended, but when NDJ is absent we genuinely miss him and have no suitable replacement. He's the engine room and drives us forward

I also wouldn't fancy playing many games without Silva either

[The Original Special One]

I've been so much of a Nigel De Jong fan for the past 16 months that people have cause to question my 'inclinations', but I've voted David 'God' Silva, - so now people will question my religious affiliations, too!
Silva is like the spark that lights the fuse, the 'centre of gravity', the wind that shakes the barley.

And the current top four in the polls is about right also.

Couldn't have put it any better myself you cheeky little wordsmith. Yep it's Silva for me.

[Patrick]

Unfortunately it's still tevez, unless we sign another forward who can win a game single handedly next month or balo lives up to the hype

Silva, ndj, kompany,hart are all crucial

Fucl me, how far have we come to be able to miss off so many top internationals!

[Mikhail Chigorin]

NDJ is the integral cog

For me, this puts it all in a nutshell.

However, just got a feeling that Kolarov is going to come into his own in the second part of the season, to be virtually unstoppable when marauding down the left

[gaudy]

which 2 people voted jo.own up now!

[saulman]

It would be interesting to see this poll done again at the end of the season with the benefit of hindsight.
