David Silva is widely regarded as one of the best players to play for Manchester City. So naturally, they miss him now he plays for Real Sociedad. But just how much do they miss him?
Has his absence forced Man City to play a different way?
Are City’s other midfielders able to replicate what Silva brought to the team?
What are Man City now lacking without Silva?
Alex Stewart explains.

City needs to learn Bayern’s succession plan. They seemingly have no plan for Silva just like they didn’t with Kompany. As things are going Aguero might not have a replacement either.
But They have 💷💷💷💲💲💲.
@@christianopulinaldo8319 Money can't buy leadership and Winning Mentality, your logic to the subject is so terrible, Milan Got ibra for free and look what is happening to them, top at the league and above all that the oldest man in the team scores alot.
@@rpg5265 you may be right👍👍
Bayerns succession plan is to buy the best players from the other bundesliga teams making them weaker is that what you city to do😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bayern's succession plan is raiding every german club that over-performs.
Not to mention players at bayern can under perform for multiple seasons and it still doesn't make a difference.
Once upon a time David Silva and KDB were both wingers.
more like mezzala
they were attacking mid but part of guardiola's plan was for them to shift further towards the sides so the wingers could make inverted runs
They should have never let him go. Real Sociedad won a bargain !
What really suprises me is the fact that Silva chose real Sociedad as his next team, even the team's president was a bit surprised by his decision but it paid off and he is a very important member of the team
He wanted to go. It was respectfull to let him go after what he had given city
He want to go back to Spain to get closer to his family. That's why. It's not City be like "meh Silva is not good anymore. Just let him go"
They wanted to facilitate the integration of Foden as a first team player, plus he was getting older.
@@calvinnathanael606 sociedad is not in Spain tho
Now even Real Sociedad will miss him when he leaves. That's his greatness.
Silva was the foundation of city's attack for a long time with aguero, although Manchester City can't replace him they need to find a similar long term player in his position
Ngolo kante,Veratti,Rabiot,sergej milinkovic savic comes to mind for the future, Kante is not just a holding player but he has the ability to dribble past opponents, and has a good technique in scoring, He is strong and definitely a threat into final third.
@@rpg5265 only milinkovic savic could play their role, the players u named mostly are dm or deep lying playmaker, kante as an 8 is not as effective as a dm, his foreward passing range is quite mediocre. They need a cm which can make tactical fouls and has a high range of passing, and excell at playing in the half spaces.
@@wiqwaq1829 I really think Bernardo can do the job. His style of play and attributes are pretty similar to David imo. I know they usually play him out wide, but i really do think he can play the Silva's role.
@@wiqwaq1829 Yes most of them are dm but the HOLD UP play silva was doing in city, they can do it too, Like tifo said the most important thing that city lacks right now are players who can hold the ball up front and then play quick short pass to move defenders which most of the players i named are capable of doing. 1 name came also to mind a young kid from Stade rennais Camavinga, he is 17/18 yrs old but he has caps for france first team.
@@rpg5265 i know what u mean, but for me those players arent that suitable, they have hold up play, but playing them would create 2 pivots, because only milinkovic savic goes forward alot. Pep very rarely plays 2 pivots in his team because he likes to overload the forward spaces.
i hate that we never start foden we just constantly start the slow pairing of gundo and rodri
Yeah, I agree that they should start foden more, but as the video stated it may be more risky for their already underperforming defense
Yeah they do miss Silva a lot, but the fact that Rodri/Gundo still can't perfectly replace Fernandinho is just as bad
Exactly
Rodri and Gundogan together doesn't work. Same with Gundo and Fernandinho in important must win matches. Idk why Pep persists on playing them together. He should just choose between one of them and bring one of them on if they need to hold a lead
@@cowsaysboo Maybe the problem is, he can't do that
1. Depending on Fernandinho again at his age is never good for the club's future, you want to have his successor or change your tactic based on the player you have and their capabilities
2. You don't want to risk losing points by experimenting on a single pivot when your defense in this season and last season is/was inconsistent, underperforming, and your new starting CB is still adjusting to the league
3. A lot of people maybe don't realize this because ManCity still have a lot of depth and quality players, but they are in a stage of huge rebuilding, it's almost like Pep's first season at the club again, the main difference is that the key players who have settled with the league and the club aren't playing as regulars anymore cause aging or leaving already, so Pep have to adapt his tactics all over again, and it's hard to rebuild when you're also expected to compete for the top again, maybe that's why he hasn't settled with any main formation and seems to persist with the double pivot so as not to lose any point while building chemistry and let the new generation of players settle
Wow, sorry that was long
Cause they Both act as a defencive midfield pairing cause are defence is vulnerable and which interns allow city to puch cancelo and walker forward so that mahrez and sterling can make runs
We miss you David Silva...
Our El Mago 😔 💙
Your el mago? Youve never even been to manchester and have been a city fan post 2008. Fuckin joke
Could you do a reverse and explain how David Silva has improved Sociedad?
that would be a great topic
That would be great
David Silva is helping Sociedad,but its not the main reason they are better,of course its a + but I think its mostly in other players like Oyarzabal for example(first games with Silva were very poor but still the team got an idea and executed it very well)
Real Sociedad has some great young players. They were really good last year with Ødegaard, and Silva wasn't a bad replacement.
Wth is that drawing of Phil Foden
Looks like he is on crack
Hey don't judge if u can't do better
@@Egbert758 you don't need to do something better to criticise, even though this bloke sounds like insulting than criticise.
I don't get what the fuss is about tbh.
@@Egbert758 If you have never made an Avengers movie you are not allowed to criticise one.
Next: How Badly are Arsenal missing Wenger! 😏👍
Gunners: Wenger out!!!
Also Gunners: Wenger in!!!
Missing Unai more. At least we were scoring goals still with a crap defense!
No one care + Ratioed + Aired
@@jonathanjulian7677 overused meme
@@jonathanjulian7677 you realise different fans can have different opinions? It’s pretty complex I know
Since city sold kompany. Its not the same. Kompany presence was amazing. TRUE LEADER AND A LEGEND.
They didn't have a choice... The guy had to eventually retire because of injuries.
They didn’t sell him
I think Kompany and Fernandinho as a pair were skilled at reading danger and getting to team to react quickly. Rodri and Gundogan are superb players as individuals, but they can get lost and leave the defense exposed. Furthermore, lingering deep as a double pivot slows progression, sapping the speed of counter attacks.
OMG! Was that really Phil Foden? 😳
Ba-by Ruth!
Foden on crack
This aged well......
this aged so badly for this channel
I'm so gutted he felt it was time to leave but I respect him enough to be happy for him that he's moved on
“He could find space in a single bed with Gemma Collins.”
😂😂😂😂
Brilliant comment 👌😂😂
Whose quote is that?
@@anant1462 Tifo
It will be easier to just change the system, special players like Silva and iniesta don’t come very often in the market.
I think the big problem with City was the signing of Mahrez. He's a great footballer but is absolutely not the kind of winger that suits them. They need, fast, direct wingers who hug the line and stretch the play(Sane, Sterling). This creates more from for De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva etc in the middle. Mahrez is incredibly skilful but often cuts in and this creates a logjam with him and the other playmakers. He is also arguably too good not to play often.
I have a feeling makes will be converted into a central midfielder, similar to Bernardo.
You dont think the lack of a true DM is a bigger problem? Also the lack of any kind of physicality, Crossing vs lowblock teams could work if Balotelli, Dzeko or Tevez was in the box, but not many aerial threaths rn. but more on the Dm problem: you now have to play with a single offensive midfielder instead of two, which is especially problematic when Silva was there who is arguably more dangerous in that space when isolated the kdb. If one of the Dms were more yay esque and carried a large attacking threat coming from deep it could be different, but gundo and rodri just dont have the same threat.
@@F-Tier_Physique dm is also an issue. The fast wingers on the last line would push the opponents back so Man City wouldn’t have as great a need to have a double pivot.
@@F-Tier_Physique dm is only an issue on the counter but city have pretty much remedied it with having a more reliable centerback pairing. but the biggest problem atm is their attacking form, they cant break teams down as they are playing too narrow with inverted wingers and attacking midfielders that cant control the game as well after losing silva. this also makes then more vulnerable to counters in the first plce
F-tier Physique i don’t buy that. Liverpool won the league by crossing and they’ve hardly got any height or amazing physicality in attack or midfield. Also, Yaya was not a DM since Fernandinho/Fernando occupied that position and they are not expected to have attacking input.
They're also missing a leader like Kompany
I don't think that is an issue anymore. Dias looks as if he is fulfilling that role perfectly and seems to genuinely improve the defenders around him too
You cant just buy a leader though. Leader means player comes in, shows his quality, demands respect and becomes a leader. Takes time
@@espben360 I don't agree. A player can come in and immediately have an effect - just look at Bruno Fernandes. A leader is defined by their personality traits.
Me watching after man city lift the trophy for the season 👀
Now I really question Guardiola's ability to replace 'old guard' at Man City. There are 5 years almost since he is in charge and I doubt he will be able to finally replace Kompany, Fernandinho, Silva and Aguero. He only managed to replace Yaya Toure's role with Kevin De Bruyne, but he was already at the club when Guardiola came. So actually Guardiola's only real successful replacement is Ederson over Joe Hart. But even here, remember that he first tried using Claudio Bravo instead, which turned out to be a disaster in Man City's goal.
Ederson is shit. Pep only good Signing was Sane and B.Silva but now B.silva does not play in wing.
Underrated point.
Laporte's decent
@@Gantaipao Huh?!!!! Must be high
@@mrdubcek6824 decent, damn I wish I had "decent" laporte in my team.
Silva, Fernandinho and Sane were always my favorite players next to KDB and Aguero. It was a personal blow. Team doesn’t feel the same.
We really needed him vs Tottenham
One of the best players in the history of the _EPL._ One of the very few to show _Messi-like_ longevity at the highest levels.
City does not necessarily miss him. City is not clinical enough to be honest
City always creates league high chances, not anymore
@@aadhil8628 against spurs a total of 22 shots were made, none of them produced a goal. This is a matter of players taking more responsibility and reigniting the ruthlessness from the 17/18 & 18/19 campaigns
@@nkhadebe I too watched that match, but how many of them are clear cut chances? They used to create high quality chances. But city has enough fuel to turn the tide, but will that be enough to win the league? Only time will say
It's almost as if they don't train their finishing since Arteta left and just do rondos at training with Pep. Every time they are in front of goal they have doubts as if they are waiting for a teammate to appear and pass the ball to. Nobody but Aguero has the self confidence to shoot to score. I might not be a good footballer, but at least I know where the goal is and I know what it needs to be done.
@@aadhil8628 I agree, time will tell
How badly did this video age?
He was their _Silva_ lining!
3 months later, they won 20 match in a row without breaking a sweat 😂
But City have had their 2 strikers injured for the majority of the 20/21 season, that probably affected their style and ways of attacking too.
Watching this video after city's 16th win in a row , although this #21 magician was a crucial part pf city and also , a legend.
It will be the same like last season. We didn't replace Kompany and now we haven't replaced Silva.
It's evident in the statistics. We haven't scored many goals this season. We're struggling to break down the opposition. Silva was a game changer. He could change the game with just one sharp pass/movement. We're lacking cohesion now.
Seems like they’ve started to put it all together lately and look like they could be a bigger champions league threat. Depending on their center forward play though with aguero having lots of injuries and Jesus with some inconsistencies
I think a big problem tacticaly is that at this point in his career Rodri is basically a luxury 6. Not good enough defensively to be an anchor on his own, not dynamic enough to play as a box to box 8. A bit like what United found out with Matic when they bought him as an anchor.
Not sure if they will ever find a like for like replacement but Pep knew what he was heading into when Silva left. Shouldn't it be his job to find a tactical adjustment to allow his team to still function effectively? Can't keep playing the same way if you have players who perform and function differently.
City's problem is lack of clinical finishing. An example, last night champions league game against porto
Miss u El Mago 💙
Thank the heavens that this format is back!!
Who else prefers graphics and the voiceover rather than watching someone's face talking throughout the video?
When your video ages like shit, it is better to remove it to prevent any discomfort. That's the professional spirit anyone should have.
Well he is not wrong
City had to adapt cause if Silva absent
Even now Kevin is playing that free roam role because no one yet has filled Silva shoes, City doesn't play 4-3-3 anymore.
We been mostly playing 4-2-3-1, Again City is doing well without him, just saying he absent made City change their formation
I think its terrifying to think where they would be without de bruyne
We can and hv won without him we still hv al lot creativity in our midfield
hi, my name is max and I am a real sociedad fan. I just wanted to say thank you ❤️😃
Ha lol, watching them right now as top of the league with 6 points clear of Man U.
I think a bigger issue than this is guardiolas obsession with playing rodri and refusing to bench him for fernandinho. He does this at every club he's been were he takes one of his most important veteran players from the season before and arbitrarily decides they're not in his plans anymore
He is 36 and doesn't have the legs to play every game. Also,he has been injured for quite some time this season,which is why he hasn't played much.
@@nikolas8203 yet he had the legs to play cb every single game last season. Actual people don't lose physical abilities as rapidly as in FIFA. He also doesn't have to play 90 minutes and can even partner Rodri in a double pivot
@@DanielMartinez-bk8fd He has been injured for some time this season
2020 is so unpredictable, old players proving their former clubs wrong
Some of those illustrations are pretty good like Gundogan, Fernandinho and Bernardo Silva. Phil Foden however looks wrong and both De Bruyne and Guardiola look sunburned.
The style is great but it might be worth going back to the drawing board on a few of those illustrations.
i am a man utd fan but I'm a big fan of silva as well. heck i even bought a jersey with his name on it. but now its his time to move on to real sociedad. looking at what he is doing with his new club i am so proud of him
Jack Grealish would be a perfect replacement for David Silva. He draws a lot of defenders towards him and has the ability to play those sharp precision passes into the final third while having good control in possession.
Dont know about that, they clearly mentioned that city need a high volume passer in the final third. Dont see Grealish being that sort of profile, he's exactly like Foden
Maybe next year if city buys messi he could team with de bruyne in the creative side and playmaking and then city will be unstoppable
2:38 foden’s face when 2 Icelandic girls said they wanted to “meet up”
I'd say the bigger problem is the decline of Fernandinho. He single handedly took care of City's defensive shielding. It's been the same for United, the decline of Matic means they must play a double pivot, leaving one less attacker.
Tifo that was a really good video, been a fan of your work for years as well as a fan of Manchester City, and I think one of the most overlooked reasons why the team is struggling too is the absence of Leroy Sané, he was the player David Silva looked for the most, and he helped stretch the pitch immensely, hope you can make a video of it one day, cheers for the good work!
Poor KDB doesn't have anyone to talk to anymore.
You cannot replace players like Xavi, Iniesta & David Silva. Spanish magicians.
David Silva is the football Chris Paul
Finally someone giving the credit he deserves. He got so much flack last year it was absurd. People were blaming him as the reason the team weren't successful. His loss isn't the only issue. But he was masking the lack of width. Without Silva the lack of width had been exacerbated.
As Man Utd fan I want to say that David Silva and KDB are the only city players I like
Thanks, we also proudly claim Pogba and Lingard as our all time favourite United players
Also I dont really like those two thesedays lol. I still prefer our old players back in 2008-13. Pogba is exceptional but not consistent Lingard however? Lol
@@timothyclegane6979 Nothing more iconic than those two dabbing to each other, lol, but yeah, Pogba definitely could improve. He'd been a decent leader to the french national team back in the day
Pogba should leave or improve. I haven't seen the best of him in years
Clubs and pundits take the age factor and run with it way too much. If he’s shitting the bed but quick “oh he has promise he’s a young lad give him time” if he is 33+ clubs won’t renew, pundits say it’s time for mls and forget just how stellar that player still is.
As a Liverpool fan they are missing kompany the most a real leader on and off the pitch.
Things took a turn once we lost Kompany. With Silva gone it’s only been downhill. Agüero’s next and I’m imagining the worst...
They did not miss him neither sergio aguero nor vincent kompany nor kdb while he was injured its astonishing how consistent city are even though they are in a transitional phase with new players such as phoden torres dias cancelo zinchenko rodri joining in and filling in bigger boots so smoothly, guardiola has some magic.
The start of the season was just a blip in form they are back to cruzing again.
De Bruyne was a great 10 at Wolfsburg, where he made a big name. Pep needs to drop the 4-3-3 and adopt the 4-2-3-1 or 3-4-1-2/3-1-4-2
I really thought I was the only one seeing this. Him an Kompany
Dropping back here to say not very much.
Xavi, Iniesta, Silva, de Bruyne, are Pep's man who can't easily be replaced.
I love how Fbref and Statsbomb are providing access to granular statistics to a regular fan as well as folks who want to build analyses off it. Hearty thanks to both orgs!
I think bernardo has potential to be a david sub. But coming from a wing its difficult to operate has a midfielder
Foden has kinda shown attributes of La Pausa. I think they should give him a go at that. At the very least if he were the LW in the 4-3-3 I think that City would be on much better form.
I can't tell if Alex is the kind of guy that listens to Ravel's Bolero, or cannibal corpse.
Wow. The difference is clear to the naked eye, but the analysis here clarifies just how stark that difference is. With hindsight this also makes Liverpool’s capture of Thiago even more impressive; with his abilities, pedigree, prior relationship with Guardiola and availability this summer, it’s hard not to think he would have solved all of these problems single-handedly. Keeping him from improving a direct rival by bringing him in themselves is another Liverpool transfer masterstroke.
Fair point, mate. I wonder, though: Thiago has range. He creates from the middle. There are few as good as him. I doubt whether he would've been a fit in Silva's role, because for that, Thiago would have to play near the box. I don't think that is his natural position. If bought, he would've mitigated some creation problems. Most importantly, reduced De Bruyne's burden of recycling and creating. But I doubt whether he would've solved City's current crisis.
you know who would perfectly fit the role that silva used to occupy? messi, and I'm not even joking.
Yeah, messi will fit but that's in the short term
They are actually missing Aguero the perfect veteran striker which cannot be replaced by gabriel Jesus.
Really quite hard for City's side, Silva is one of a kind midfielder with a strong ball possession and good running with the ball, while KDB it's just long range passer he's not that good with ball possession and running with the ball. KDB needs a space when passing while Silva even in a very tight space he can pass to another teammates
here i also think you have to give thought for the difficulty of not having our first striker in the side consistantly this season
Your Pep really Loooks like Arteta in your graphic at 4:15
Ekse Mzansi 🇿🇦 le monate?
Maybe instead of chasing after Messi, City should be trying to get Riqui Puig off of Barcelona's hands. He has the sort of high ceiling and intelligence that can see him fill that David Silva void. Might become as good as Silva, but he can definitely come pretty close.
Would really love an in depth look into Real Sociedad next video !
finally someone that gets why they are struggling to score.. everyone kept crying for aguero and jesus.. when in reality its good old David that they miss..Barnardo did well to replicate KDB in their second title win and he can be versatile, same season guandogun replicated Fernandinho.. but it will take them a long time to understand the David role, ..foden cant do it ...and both w will have to grow into it slowly as the season goes on
Silva, Aguiro, Kompany, Fernandinho, Ederson and KDB were pretty much city's best players. Now with only Ederson and KDB are left at their peaks, city's unable to dominate pretty any team from the top half now.
The lack of athleticism in the 6 of Rodri compared to Fernandinho is the reason the 4-3-3 cannot be employed effectively anymore, not the loss of David Silva. Surely this should be the focus of your video and not just be mentioned in passing? David Silva’s loss of mobility due to age hindered City when he played in high intensity games last season in the 4-3-3 system.
Excellent piece. I was wondering how City became so overly reliant on De Bruyne in the last two years. I guess now we have the answer
So this means that Man City may go for Isco in the next transfer window. Since basically that's what his role is in the Spain National Team, the replacement of David Silva.
i wanna see a kante video....his style is one that can be appreciated well by managers ....or hated
Relying on KDB all the time means that opposition teams can just close him down. And pep doesn't always play Foden whos confidence makes him consistent
Make a video about how badly Arsenal is missing Wenger and ManU is missing Mourinho, both had teams playing exciting winning football and Mourinhos side had multiple over 4 goal wins in the Prem. Now the only exciting thing about Arsenal and ManU is if they can actually score a goal without VAR gifting them a penalty.
Athletic is back..so that new sponser was just a rebound 😂😂
Really enjoying the content as usual. But I have to disagree with the idea that Foden is too dynamic to play the role David Silva used to play. He has all the attributes required to play the 'la pausa' role, especially under the tutelage of Pep Guardiola. He can press, receive the ball under pressure and can develop a metronomic passing game. He is not on Silva's level yet but everything about his youth career says he can get somewhere close. The biggest problem is Rodri. He doesn't have the mobility to play as a single pivot and the club have failed to find the 'next fernandinho' or someone who can play that role effectively. Whoever was responsible for buying Rodri simply made a mistake. They need to admit that mistake, fork out for a DM, let Foden develop in the Silva role, and revert back to the ultra successful 4-3-3.
This format is best
Good video but slightly misleading presentation, since it's just as much about Fernandinho's decline, with neither Rodri nor Gundogan up to doing what he did as a single pivot. Bernardo/Foden seems more promising to me longterm in place of David Silva than Rodri for Fernandinho.
Clearly not so much
the drawings are top notch, guys. best in the channel's history, no doubt.
youve done phil foden dirty with that picture
One word: badly. You would want to say foden, and don’t get me wrong he’s been AMAZING this season, is the one to replace him but he doesn’t play the same game as Silva does. Silva really dictated the game for city with his awareness and IQ on the pitch
What is Real Madrid did recall Martin odegaard and sociedad had both odegaard and David Silva they would be insane
This is why I was surprised many, if not most, considered City to be PL and even CL favourites. Contenders for sure, but you can't ignore that they lost Silva & Sane, haven't truly replaced Kompany, and both Aguero + Fernandinho are older and no longer in their prime. Teams have also figured out that if you can get the first goal and then sit back vs City, they'll eventually run out of ideas and resort to KdB crossing it for 5'9 Jesus and hoping it works
El mago we still miss you in blue💙💙💙💙
Scott Parker’s fulham please
Serious question; could the triangle system used in basketball be used in football with the same effectiveness?
Love that new font ! Great choice.
So what you’re really saying is that the difference in Manchester City is because of the double pivot and actually Fernandinho made that possible, not Silva? I get the point of the video but I’m a little confused
This is going to sound bizarre, but if Man City can SOMEHOW get ahold of Joshua Kimmich then that would solve a lot of problems caused by David Silva leaving, especially considering the fascinating rejuvenation of Ilkay Gündogan.
Please do one about Riyad Mahrez !
