One bad
Game and he’s too old?
Nah, even at 39 Thiago Silva is still better than most defenders in the premier league. Should he be criticized for poor performances, no he's one of the best defenders of his generation and the fact that he's been playing for this long is amazing and he has shown that age is just a number, but the guy isn't at the peak of his career what do you expect. Nobody is perfect and for Chelsea he has been very consistent for them since they signed him, it's obvious that he isn't getting any younger he'll turn 40 next year meaning that you have to be able to cope without him as you have guys like Levi Colwell Axel Diasi Wesley Fofana (when healthy), Trevoh Challobah and since they like to spend money, they'll sign another young defender. He has been shaky at times this season, but has put in excellent performances still and we talk about Luka Modric's longevity how he's still playing at the top even at the age of 38 and in football age is just a number and that's what these legends have shown and you can't criticize them for poor performances.
No clue why Poch hasn't dropped him, costs Chelsea goals a lot this season.
Can't jump or run anymore.
Lol Thiago makes one mistake now he’s making too many.
he's better than maguire lol
The answer to the thumbnail is no😑👌
Brighton 3-1 Chelsea
I agree he's probably too old and he needs less games, but he only made one mistake, I'm giving you a dislike for the click bait title
Thiago Silva is incredible…but eventually it will catch up with him!
Bro has had 2-3 bad games max n all of a sudden he’s too old 😂😂
We beat them for the league cup we will beat them again
Thiago Silva at Chelsea is a myth. He's been mediocre for the most part and is only propped up by playing alongside even worse players.
The thing with these people the expect the players to be gods and never make a mistake or fall short, the are humans go through life and feel pain like everyone else not all the time you're going to have the best game
Literally made 2 mistakes since joining and yet makes loads apparently he was brilliant against Brighton
