Excellent. Got you trawling back through old threads again. Now that is silly. Keep on with the selective memory re Dasilva. For the record I haven’t said he was poor. Just that he had nothing to do.

Nothing to do?
Do yourself a favour and at least watch the highlights. He was constantly so good that he should be on them somewhere. One of the reasons they were so shite going forwards was they just couldn't get past JDS. He did a couple of tackles that were so good that you would have been singing your praises for them if they were from another defender. Also his running with the ball was very good.
Why don't you like JDS?

If as you say they got in behind him 6 or 7 times then surely in your view he had a lot to do? So which is it?

He hasn’t got a clue what he’s talking about. Just verbal Diarrhoea
Da Silva is technically one of the best players in the team, if not the best his feet are so good.
Kitch, van ewick and Da silva have been on top form because they have genuine competition for their place in the starting 11 now. Brau, Kessler Hayden and Woolfenden will be pushing them on.

Don’t know him to like him or not. Playing wise he’s a poor defender. I don’t think that’s in dispute
Very surprised to see this comment. He's been excellent this season in all aspects, motm for me yesterday

There's not much of a dispute. You're the only one left who thinks he is poor.

The point about Da Silva is, does anybody really in their heart of hearts think he's a Championship top 6 defender and the thought of him in the Prem is just hilarious.
He has always had fantastic close control with the ball , and this catches the eye of the spectators. But he is not even a top half of the division defender. When the ball goes out to the opponent's right, I always hold my breath. He always gives the attackers far too much space and his lack of physical size means he just can't close them down.
He'd be good as a wing back in a three at the back, but one of a back four, nah. I had hoped Brau was a replacement, but I am not sure what he is - Da Silva replacement or EMC cover.
No amount of dandy dan footwork can cover for JDS's defensive shortcomings. We need better.

Is this you using a lot of words to try and say JDS is a poor LB? Under Lampard JDS, like several other players, has improved a lot. Top 6? He plays for a top 6 club. We've now played 7 league games. How many better LB's have we seen so far?
Lampard sees a good player in him. I trust his judgment over yours.
Premier league player? Who said that? We would need nearly a full new team if we were to compete. It doesn't mean we don't have one of if not the best team in the Championship though.
