That aside he never took control of the middle or showed any leadership and calmed the kids down when they lost their heads,in short he didn't seem to give a shit

Of course he gave a shit, you only had to see the number of times he got really pissed off with ref etc to know that.

Too busy doing his Halifax advertisements !
As long as he remains mentally up for the fight I think in the second half of the season he will be shown to be be pivotal in our title push.
To be able to rest Fernandinho for the key games will be huge in that run-in from February onwards.

- Manchester City is my team - until I fucking die.
Yaya for me... is more and more "out of gas" - unable to move quickly into position whether on attack or needing to press/cut off passing options.
He remains capable of killer passes though - and so might play a Pirlo role if given protection. But that doesn't seem to be the way Pep plays.
So, for me, Yaya, is past his prime, and will make appearances only in dire circumstances or in meaningless games/games we have won.
And I don't think this is down to attitude - Yaya seems to care deeply about winning - but, either he's simply unable physically to play as Pep wants or hasn't trained sufficiently to get into shape - either way, Yaya isn't an asset to our side on the pitch currently.

Great to see him back and dictating the play. Seemed to touch the ball more than anyone when he came on and looked fairly sharp.

68 touches of the ball and he was barely on the pitch. A productive cameo.

Absolutely and in the context of the game, he literally didn't have to do anything other than walk, collect the ball and keep it ticking over.
Just one last gut wrenching length of the field run and goal is all i want to see from the big man.

A legend. Last season at club for me and a little surprised he got a contract extension TBH.
His footballing skills are unquestionable but it's easy to see why he is not picked as a regular for matches.
