Andreas Pereira v David Silva
Andreas Pereira
Technique
7
Very good technique, very reliable and unlikely to lose control. It is why his deadballs are so good usually.
Passing
7
His passing is good but his vision needs to be developed as he does not always spot the pass he should make.
Shooting
7
When played far enough forward he will add goals, but he is not a goalscoring midfielder as such.
Movement
6
His movement is that of a player still learning a position, he has not yet settled into one role and it shows. He can be unsure with his runs.
Skill
7
Very good skill, however he has to learn a role to be able to utilise it properly.

David Silva
Technique
10
The 'Little Magician' has superb technique and brings the ball under his spell immediately.
Passing
9
Has a great range of passing and is adept at the little slid through ball that gets in down the side of defences.
Shooting
7
Not the greatest goalscorer in the world, his biggest weakness is the lack of goals he contributes to the team.
Movement
9
Fantastic movement, always in the right place to receive a pass.
Skill
9
He has some lovely skills, able to keep hold of the ball under pressure or just take it past a defender to open up a gap.
