'Apart from that, I had no particular reason, he was training good like Willy.
"I remember when I was at Barcelona and the first or second year I was there, Unai Emery was there and after the game he said, 'David Silva is the player for you, for Barcelona. Believe me, that is a player for Barcelona by far". "He's special player but he was so expensive, so expensive".
The game then ebbed and flowed with City holding Manchester City at bay relatively easily.
The recently-recalled Delph scored his first goal of the season to help City to their first win in five league games in a one-sided encounter at the Etihad Stadium. He has absolutely everything with mentality, he's a competitor and everything.
But Guardiola was delighted with the second - a brilliant team goal that saw every player touch the ball before Sergio Aguero finished Raheem Sterling's well effort trickled past Claudio Bravo, who was making his first Premier League start since January 21.
Record also highlights the fact that Hull would be in the top four if counting since Silva has taken charge, and this is a strong reason why he's already being linked to Champions League clubs. We need a clever player to move between the lines and move the ball quickly. "I am pretty sure it is going to happen until the end". He's such a similar type of player. He has been named player of the month just once, back in September 2011, never been shortlisted for player of the year and only made the Premier League team of the year in the 2012-title winning season. We are all delighted with him and happy to play with him.

The Spurs' Manu Ginobili played the second half of Game 1 after getting a small cut under his left eye late in the first half. PG said he spoke to Miles and told him he needs to take that last shot, according to Scott Sargent at Waiting For Next Year .
Guardiola, though, was unhappy at the manner in which City conceded late on.
That's not a trend that City can afford to have continue, having fallen to fourth place in the EPL table and with the gap to fifth place growing steadily smaller.
The only fly in the ointment was a goalkeeping mistake from Claudio Bravo five minutes from time when the Chile worldwide, surprisingly recalled after seven games on the bench, allowed an Andrea Ranocchia shot to slip through his grasp for a Hull consolation.
Hull reacted with their best moment of the game following the initial City goal, registering their only shot on target of the match, but they failed to equalize.
City fans gave Gran Canaria's most famous son a standing ovation after he marked his 300th appearance for the club with another midfield masterclass against Hull before receiving glowing praise from his manager. Home form will be key to their survival.
