* Yaya Toure is capable, but better utilised in a different role.NQCitizen said:de niro said:our worse piece of business for a long long time.
Do we have a single player that can defend intelligently in midfield now?
* Fernandinho perhaps if he adapts well enough, in fact i was of the impression his purpose was to A. Replace Yaya when he goes to the African Cup of Club Disruptions and B. to allow some more anchoring so Yaya could better utilise his pace and ability...whether it works remains to be seen
* Rodwell showed very good signs in the last few games of last season that he could do the job well so i expect he's likely the best bet.
* Garcia leaks defensively about as much as the titanic did after it hit the iceberg.
* Milner seems capable of "having a go" but it's pretty clear that's not the role he's generally comfortable with.
* Then there's the attacking mids who are clearly not suitable mostly because they're all short, small and not great at recovering possession (Silva, Nasri, Navas).
Times like these i miss De Jong.
