Canuck Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 "largely anonymous" is a tad OTT Why, because it is not in lock step with your agenda of glorification? For my part - I thought it was a reasonable and balanced assesment. I don't agree with all of it; however, I accept the point of view. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Yeah, it's harsh. He's hasn't played particularly well, neither has Ba. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 He's been Ok. As well or better than I expected given his time on the sidelines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I actually think his contribution has been somewhat underrated- he's come on and in many cases given us the different dimension to go out and get a goal or whatever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 He created 4 clear cut chances (through ball to Ba, hit post, looped ball to Ba and penalty) away to the two best teams in England. Not many will do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many will do that. He'll generally get more space against those 2 teams, though. The looped ball took a big deflection too. Not trying to piss on his contribution, he's done OK.

Jayson Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 He could have been on the ball a lot more than he has been. The city chance was a defensive error & the penalty on any other day is just a corner. Only his ball to ba was the result of clean nice football coming through him as we want.

His work rate to win the ball off their defence is top drawer too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 'Largely anonymous' is a very strange verdict. Not everything came off, but here and there you could see signs of that exceptional talent. I'm thinking particularly of that moment where he just glided through that gap in the City defence before hitting the post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toondra Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 it's ok to say he played ok, if he plays everytime the way he played against the man clubs, it won't be enough for sure he can reach higher level, i think he doesn't touch the ball enough as a number 10 for the moment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 i took David Silva one full season in the league to really reach his straps, weve jsut got to be patient and give the lad time. Until then enjoy the glimpses of quality he provides us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
