David Silva

His inclusion is only overshadowed by the fact that he was joined by Aguero at the same time. Even down a man, Silva helped City maintain more possession and create more chances in the second half. City’s hope for one of the two big trophies this year will rely on him and De Bruyne both staying healthy for the rest of the year. City don’t really have a replacement for Silva’s spot, that isn’t a big drop off.
