"I have been really impressed with Kurt and his form, what he has given us, also scoring goals from set-pieces and defending set-pieces as well, which is a big part of our game," Frank Lampard told the media (via Goal).
"We knew it was something we could improve last year. In terms of the general game, I think with Thiago he can affect people around him because of his status in the game and how he plays it.
"When you talk about partnerships in a team, in central defensive areas, we can all think back and think of great centre-back partnerships.
"I think with Thiago he has the ability to not just rub off on Kurt but any player that he is paired within that position, because of his experience and quality. I think he has helped Kurt at this moment."
The Blues conceded 54 goals in the Premier League last season while keeping only 9 clean sheets - they've kept 3 clean sheets already this season in 7 games while conceding only 9 goals.
Silva is, without a doubt, one of the major reasons for this defensive turnaround and a player of his calibre will always help upcoming stars like Zouma improve their game - we're definitely glad to have the Brazilian in the team!
