Totally agree with you, Rat – David really is a magician. We can marvel every week at his fantastic skills. How does he keep the ball so well? – it’s truly amazing! The way he is able to shield the ball is unbelievable. Surely he will be in Spain’s first team for WC?

Agree overall with VfaB ratings and comments, a fair assessment of the players.I think Milner should have an 8 though. He played a really vital part in winning the last few games and I think Navas’ injury was a blessing in disguise. Don’t think Milner will be there next year as he has made it clear he wants to move away but, unfortunately, Garcia probably will be!

I feel like i speak for all city fans when i say that despite all the media focusing on Yaya, Serg and Komps (who are all undeniably great players), every true city fan’ ‘favorite’ player is silva. If he could score goals like messi or ronaldo no doubt he would be mentioned right up there in the same breath as those two.

We are truly blessed to have him at the club, and i dont think ive ever enjoyed watching a player more than David (Hull away for example, literally every single touch he took was world class).
Agree with all these ratings in general.

I have a lot of time for vfab as I think the author always makes some very candid and thoughful assessment of City players, matches, & tactics. That said, I just you have an fair bias when it comes to accessing Garcia, and I think it may be a case of the even if the man could walk on water, you would criticize him for not being able to swim.

there are always players who for one reason or another will not be your cup of tea,and I myself am guilty of the same.

Garcia is not fleet of foot which of course does him no favors but it’s also clear that he’s a confidence player. I really feel the man grew as a player as the second half of the season progressed and he was instrumental in helping City keep their shape as a team defensively. My argument is that there is a player there, one who does have technical skill, has excellent aerial ability in the air, solid in the tackle, and yes, a player who can read the game but who’s lack of speed often betrays him. You don’t get selected by Mancini, Pellegrini, and Spain by being a liability. Yes he’s not eye catching but like DeJong he doesn’t have to be. You need your carthorses to go along with your thoroughbreds. Garcia is quite a useful player.

Sorry but I can’t really get into this grading players with 6 here 7 there, I’m grateful to each & everyone for giving me great memories which will stay with me’ each player has played his part except for Richards & rodwell who in my opinion are not hungry enough to try & better themselves-no fire in the belly there. As for yaya who has had some great moments for us I feel he has ruined his reputation forever with city fans (he has for me) an absolute embarrassment of a man, makes me feel ashamed to have testicules; him & his vile dispicable “agent”, what a complete wa***r’ I hope the most impressive chairman khaldoon deals with him accordingly, let him buy his contract out & take a hike pal’ you know nothing about respect about life & how you should conduct yourself as a ” professional”….. A complete tosser give him nought – MCTV interview with the big boss is excellent’ I feel that we are in gentle hands folks…. That man is the buisness’ would you look him in the eye & tell him he can’t do something??????? I wouldn’t.
