Yaya to cover as a Central defender?

[FantasyIreland]

Fernandinho would make more sense

That would be my choice and start Gundogan.

What about Tosin or another youth before him? Long term benefit before short term gain (minimal)

 

[BlueMojito]

that was about 8 years ago which was about the same time Sane was still believing in Father Christmas

Lol :-)

Played at centre back for Guardiola at Barca and dealt with peak Drogba no problem, it's a yes from me.

He also had Shrek in his back pocket in a CL final but that was many years ago. He has lost power and pace and he never was that good in the air for someone so tall so for those reasons it's a no from me

That would be my choice and start Gundogan.

Yeah, think this is the most sensible option. Though I'd be tempted to give Tosin 30 mins v Soton if we were 2 up or more.

Take the booking against Leicester so banned for Huddersfield. Stones and Tosin should be ok for that

Would say a fair bit about Tosins career if this happens

He was closer to peak Yaya then though. Not suited for it any more. Barely suited for our team in general sadly. Slows things down so much and is constantly underhitting passes this season. Whether he is just not putting in the effort due to being unhappy or he's just totally fallen off a cliff, we can't rely on him now for much of anything imo.

I know its almost halloween but the thought of yaya at centre half is terrifying

 

[Burtonblue]

Seriously?!!
