He's slowing up now and he's not quite as effective as he once was but he never gives less than his all.
well if you recall, city permitted him to miss MANY games for us last season so he could be with his family, even after the baby was (reported to be) fine. regardless that was last year and this is this year. this year, aside from the odd moment of quality here or there he's been very poor, e.g. one big reason why we lost to spurs was silva's lack of running and covering in midfield. imo.
Jesus this is wrong on so many levels.
City let him have time off? He had a sick new born for fuck sake and even it is was showing signs of coming good mental health isn’t just for us mere mortals. The fact that he played the part he did last season is a fucking miracle and shows what kind of man Silva is.
This season he was fine when he and Bernardo were cutting teams up at the start of the season and he’s had an injury and struggled to get back to 100%. Just like Jesus did, just like aguero did, just like Stones has, just like kdb did.
Fact is the man is an all time city legend and while we can say his form has dipped to question his work rate or attitude is dead wrong.
