Just a thought on Pep's City:
I think Silva could be good in a deeper role, but the squad would need to be balanced with a world class ball winning defensive minded midfielder and a steady back for to cover for Silvas defensive shortcomings. Thats the biggest challenge for Pep, to me, how to balance the team which consists of plenty of creative attacking minded players who contribute very little to defense. In 70% of games in PL thats not gonna be a problem, but in Europe and against top PL teams that can counter attack, team balance will be something for Pep to look at. I personally feel they dont have the personel to be a world class team and i dont have confidence that Pep (+whoever buys players) will bring in the right players this summer. But if im wrong, things could get interesting in CL next year. I have no doubt Man City will do very well in PL, but its about time they show their supposed world class credentials in Europe.
