OK

Ibime:


Silva played under Mancini who is quite a defensive manager and even on the wing. He was already a City legend before he met Pep in 2016.

Mata should die Mourinho excuse. He only played 5 months under Mourinho. Mata position became redundant in football and he was too small and weak to adapt. Silva may be short but him body dey ground with low centre of gravity. Mata is just lean and weak.

Segedinho:
How true is this?

Unlimited22:

Boss this one is actually true. The argument can be made for Mou ruining Mata, but Silva was already a senior man before meeting Pep.

ToyinDipo:

Apart from dribbling what did Hleb have.

Where dis u get it? Can I get a link or an address or something?

popizaino:






I bought canal+ just so I could be watching him in French league.

I love fabregassssssssss

Ibime:



Well I'm glad you paid good money to watch Monaco's relegation struggles. I reject that for Chelsea in Jesus name. Chelsea is bigger than a one-trick pony

If Silva had run into Mourinho in 2014 as he was approaching his peak, No one will be talking about him being a senior man anywhere in England

His longevity and Pep adapting him to have 2 AM play in the middle was part of why he edged out Mata. That is the edge someone like Silva had over players like Zabaleta who were trashed by Pep

If a player like KdB did not come back and play under Pep to break records, the narrative till today will be that he cant cope with EPL football since he failed under Mourinho

Anyone can be a City legend easily because they don't have a big or prolific reference point, Actually, anyone that was part of the 2012 league win is already 60% into being a City legend, including all those Zabaleta Joke Hart etc being part of the 100points team in addition to what he achieved earlier. cemented it for him

Pre Mourinho see the stats Mata was putting up? At that time he was outperforming Silva easily. Immediately Mourinho came, Mata became his scapegoat.

Mata played the same position as Silva, Matas first 2 seasons at Chelsea he dropped 17 league goals and 30 league assists. If we handpick Silvas best 2 seasons anywhere in his career, he never matched this

Silva was the better player amongst them four.
I will pick him...
After that it comes down to between Ozil and Fabregas..
At Peak level i think Ozil edges, the ozil at the 2010 world cup and at R.madrid was really out of this world...
Fabregas whilst also great but his main attribute was long passing and shots at his peak,
This got noticeable worse at his chelsea days where he was just a long passing specialist and nothing else.
At Barca a top club, he was exposed imo, he just lacked that extra quality which is why he is below the likes of Xavi, iniesta and Silva imo...
That stamina, agility really held him back and his game intelligence isn't upto the xavis of this world.
I don't think he ever could run a midfield like a xavi,inesta or Silva could...

popizaino:


What did he really do self during this period way una no wan let us hear word .

No be playing corner kicks and indirect free-kicks to Ramos and co full in highlight?

Woe betide him let him not have those impressive numners while having xabi Alonso,khedira,lassana all doing the dirty job for him .

Ferguson demostrated how ozil can be rendered useless without maximum help from Alonso. Took welbeck to pursue Alonso from start to finish only for ozil substitute in the person of modric to come and bail them out.

Melvyn11:

Guy just stop typing. You are beginning to type trash. Even at Bremen Ozil was providing 15+ league assists seasons back to back. Came to Arsenal and still racked up 19assists league season with Giroud and co. Ozil is levels above Fabregas

Melvyn11:

Please tag me. You know I have a vendetta against Lampard so I will support you
