Silva registered 11 clearances in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Manchester City. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 85th minute.
Analysis:Silva was in the starting XI after his major move from Benfica to Bournemouth this season, playing the full 90 in their season opener. He and his defense would do well to hold a clean sheet until the 84th minute, just to be beaten twice in the end for an eventual loss. However, it was still an encouraging performance for the defender in a team that is facing their first loss in a long time, as he still earned 11 clearances against the might Man City.
