There is always a tendency

Joe Hart and England prepare to cope with Spain's Silva lining wearing moncler jackets. There is always a tendency to cling to what feels most familiar. In recent weeks, the English domestic game has thrilled at Silva's creativity and prowess in possession, marvelling at a player who can snap a shot at goal with little to no back-lift but who has also orchestrated City's goal-flushed sprint to the summit. In the eye-catching context of recent form, it is rather baffling that the 25-year-old's own contribution to his country's World Cup success last year was relatively minimal, amounting to no more than a start in their first match and four minutes as a substitute in the semi-final against moncler in Germany. That, of course, was a reflection both of the shock induced by the European champions losing that opening group game to Switzerland, and of the staggering glut of attacking talent available to the Spain coach Vicente del Bosque. Silva has most recently been employed as a false No9, wounding Scotland in their final Euro 2012 group game with a brace and an assist from a role more normally relished by Lionel Messi at Barcelona. England may track and attempt to suffocate him, just as Jack Rodwell tried for Everton in a recent league game at Eastlands, but, even at 5ft 7in in what is considered a very physical league, this is a player not easily shrugged from possession. "He has been the division's stand-out player this season, and just glides through games," said Hart, who has grown used to watching Silva tear off into enemy territory with the ball glued to his in-step. "Everything he does comes easily to him, so natural moncler jackets for women. He's a magician, isn't he? There have been some big players he has come up against and you'd have thought he would have struggled, that he would get eaten alive by some of those people in the Premier League, but he just finds a way out. That speaks volumes for him.
