Is Rodri better than Yaya ?

Yaya was an absolute beast in his prime; he was immense in the run-in in 13/14. But Rodri is acknowledged by many as the best defensive midfielder in the world. There's no definitive way, in my opinion, of comparing them. Let's be glad that we have enjoyed the best of both of them.

Where has this 'different' position come from ? He played the same position as Rodri, but if we needed a goal he moved forward, but he started as a holding midfielder at City.Both great players but Rodri pips it because of his attitude, as you say different positions and abilities.

Just 'a good footballer' ? WOW !!
Good...? I'll put it this way... in 63 years of watching City, I've never seen a better or more influential player in a City shirt than 2010 to 2015 Yaya Toure. The man was a colossus, an absolute monster of a player. The King. Untouchable.
Chalk n cheese. Both world class, both can do things the other can't. Both legends of Manchester City football club.
Yes but which one is the cheese?
He started in a 4 2 3 1 , he was the more attacking of the 2 mids normally.He started as a holding midfielder, just like Rodri, THEN moved further forward.
Barry or Dejong would have been the Rodri when he started.
