In that instance I think it's a pretty good avoidance tactic.Love the avoidance tactics, haha!!

Which is precisely what Yaya did last night, and often found Aguero behind him, and nobody to pass too, I thought he was excellent second half last night.Who was supporting Aguero last night. Aguero played well, but was totally isolated and frequently dropped deep to collect the ball.
This is all a knock-on effect of playing Toure. There was a time when he was able to surge up in support of the forward and create havoc in the penalty area.

You're not the sharpest, are you fatman?? Re read what I posted, asking you to look at the defensive line and the enforced role of yaya... That isn't yaya you numpty, it's the tactic of the manager... Avoidence stems from the initial observation that you ignored or failed to grasp, either way your point remains mute!!!
How about you read what I posted and answer the question about getting our central midfielders into the box. You say Yaya's role is enforced meaning he has to come short due to a lack of ability with the other midfielders and you're right to some extent, especially in Fernando's case. Yet in the same instance you fail to mention that Yaya's lack of defensively ability means even when he does come short or play as the deepest midfielder we are forced to keep at least one other midfielder back to protect him, restricting our ability to get players forward to support Aguero.
Yaya has been very good the last few weeks and has been the only one looking to take control of games.The only player last night that you thought would produce something when on the ball. There was numerous times where he held off 2/3 players waiting for something to open up for him only to see zero movement infront of him.
Marvin mustn't have been watching recently!
Absolutely never. Also love the way he holds players off - like an adult playing against kids.Thought he was easily our best player last night , never panics
Ffs, it's like talking to a 3 year old... The answer is there if you care to read,.. You can't have runners in the box the way we are set up, which rolee rightly alludes to as containment football. We can't set up any other way because we unfortunately, don't have the personnel, or ones good enough to execute.... Yep, that's all yayas fault...
We get it, you don't like the guy, appreciate his quality... yada yada fucking yada, but please don't try to engage people who actually understand (i) the set up and (ii) why he's in the team....
Does anyone know what Hart and Yaya were actually arguing about?
Nah, not really.Care to explain?
Fuck me, finally you answer, it only took you 3 or 4 posts to get there. Like you finally admit, we can't have runners into the box when Yaya plays. Therefore by accommodating him we're restricting ourselves to slow, dull, pedestrian or "containment" football as you like to call it. (i) I understand the set up completely, it's not fucking working. (ii) I understand why Yaya is in the team completely, it's not fucking working.
Why stick with something that's not fucking working? Why not try something different? To say "we can't set up any other way" is just fucking naive, Leicester are living proof of just what can be achieved by playing ugly and they don't have anywhere near the same quality we do. I might add before certain posters take it out of context and make assumptions, I don't want us to go long ball, I just want there work rate out of possession and quick counter attacks. It's all about short term results from now until the end of the season to try and secure a Champions League place, who cares if it's ugly for 11 games as long as it gets results. It may or may not work, not one of us knows for certain but just sitting back, accepting what clearly isn't working is insane. The best bit is we would have a completed rested Yaya to come on and do what he does best for 10-15 minute spells and be a match winner if we need to take a gamble late on in games.
