Best Premier League XI Of The Last Decade
6. CM - David Silva
Although many will point towards the powerful play of Yaya Toure or the goal-scoring form of Sergio Aguero as the key to Manchester City's success during the last decade, the truth is that the main cog for the team's attacking fluency was the genius of David Silva.
There hasn't been a more consistent and devastating creative force in their ranks and he's somehow managed to play the same level for nearly ten years. Silva has been one of the most elegant Premier League players of the last decade, skipping past players with ease and making the sort of beautiful passes that made even opposing fans applaud his vision.
Silva will end his career at Manchester City at the end of this season, having consistently been the main supply line to their forwards until Kevin De Bruyne came in and took some of the heavy load from his shoulders. However, his impact on this team and regular spectacular displays he had on the pitch will certainly never be forgotten by anyone who watched him play.
