Well, let's not get carried away.

Steady mate. There is no one even near to Messi. Messi does what Silva does, all the twisting and turning and creating goals just as good, and then adds the fact that he's the best dribbler in the world and also the best finisher.

Silva however is world class and the best in the premiership, and is the heir apparent to Xavi and Iniesta. I just hope Barca don't realise this.

I'll never get tired of watching THAT pass. If they don't jism at the thought of it on MOTD2 tonight they will clearly be frigid.

He's nowhere near Messi. No one is. He's still fucking brilliant though.

He is by faaaar the best playmaker in the league and this comes from one that had his issues with him in the past. The dribbling that he made in the first half, in Scum penalty box was incredible, 4 players couldn't stop him.

Imho at the same level as Xavi, Iniesta and Fabregas.

He is world class. After Rooney fucked up time and again I yelled out "world class" but no'one knew what I was on about.

Silva is absolutely brilliant.

Please explain?

Set up the pass that set up the goal. his ball to milner for the 1st and second. Delightful.
It's a point that sometimes the guy who sets up the assist deserves some credit.

Sorry, its a US thing....In hockey you get half an assist for being the player to assist the final assist.

Silva assisted Milner to assist Balo's 1st and 2nd goals.

Messi is differnent, totally, in that he perfroms a different role, etc. Silva on this form is his equal, in my opinion, in terms of value to his side.

Far and away the best player in the league this season, it's not even close.

Not as good as Messi . But the best player in the Premier League by a long way .

We need to get him on top money asap.

He gets better by the week and is a joy to behold.

I can't wait to see Silva and Messi link up for us next season.

The best player in the prem by a mile.

After seeing Messi live against Real Madrid he is the best player I have i have ever seen live.

The best players of all time

Zico
Bell
Messi
Ronaldo(Real)

Ronaldo? Lolololol.

Zidane, the real Ronaldo, Pele, Maradona are all better than Cristiano.
