Funny old game. He rarely gave the ball away, creating nothing, but when he lost it we broke and scored, that's football.
Sorry Zico, look every player in the squad could probably be upgraded by a replacement, i am not saying Silva is the most phenomonal player ever ... however ... your observation well i got say in the kindest possible way ... extremely inaccurate
took a good free kick, forcing a 'save' hence winning a penalty
did anyone keep a count of who won the most free kicks for us today, even if not among the highest he wins free kicks consistently
he had a fine effort, virtually with his back to the goal, excellent technique, he also had a very good shot on goal close in
he also had quite a strong penalty appeal
virtually everything he does, and it is alot, is usually positive, ie forwards and with good technique, ok sometimes too ambitious
he is also tenacious tackling back and helping out
i think he has goals in him, i really think Sabri should of let him take the penalty as he won it but mainly because it would give him a chance to break the hoodoo, i think with all players .. the first is always the most difficult ... Andy Reid didn't score a goal for us for 3 years!
this isn't to do with making out Silva to be a £50m gem better than Sow, Watson and Lolley put together, it's just i think it's a travesty if his relentless and quality input were not appreciated, which is the case with your comment
the best players in this league are those that give 100% week in week out, the miracle signings could crash and burn for a number of reasons but probably because they just don't care enough to work hard, this is where we have to be careful
