Should we shoot you with a bow and arrow, a crossbow, or a blowdart? You should be more specific you know.
That's a fair point.
Blowdart on a windy day, please...
I can understand people arguing Yaya. I can understand people arguing Rodri.
Half-joking, Godri shouldn't be compared to mortals, even special ones.
LOL, the big fella won us the title almost single handedly under Pellegrini, Yaya was magnificent apart from his last couple of seasons.Rodri is miles better imo. Yaya had flashes of brilliance when he wanted to but often went missing
Yaya was a big game player, he was always there when it mattered and that's what great players do.

Ate this delicious apple some days ago and I just had to ask myself, would orange juice taste better if it was made out of apples? Not Apple juice, orange juice only this time orange juice but with apples. Makes sense doesn't it?After last night masterclass by Rodri it got me thinking...has Rodri now eclipsed Yaya Toure in that central midfield role ?
Yaya was a big game player, he was always there when it mattered and that's what great players do.
And Rodri is not?
Yaya would go missing plenty. He was a more exciting player. But also more frustrating. And when he went missing we really really suffered.
I honestly still can't decide myself, I keep bouncing between them. Yaya has the advantage of success not being taken for granted, that seems to be the bar of expectation for Rodri.
Completely different players for me. Yaya could do what Rodri does but not to the same level and same with Rodri doing Yaya’s role.
Yaya was playing in a much more transitional league though, football 10 years ago was so different and especially the Premier League.
Just glad I’ve had the pleasure of watching both of them at the peaks of their powers. (Though I do fear Rodri hasn’t even hit his peak, scarily)
