No..he and his agent just think he is..

Christ.

A motivated Yaya might be something special. Here's hoping

Correction, more tactical ability

Completely irrelevant but nevermind, thank you for the comparison.

Holy crap Yaya is playing

I like the team, Sagna is the biggest return, needed him back. Toure's quality on the ball is undeniable as is his long range shooting, he just needs to put in a shift, good to see him involved. De Bruyne in his best position, 2 attacking wingers who put in a shift. Overall very good balance in the side.

It's completely relevant due to the lack of size in the team.... Have you come out in a rash?

Who's on the bench.

Let's see if yaya puts in a shift today then. I really do hope he doesn't stroll around like he always does.

Risky to play so many players just coming back.

Good to have Vinny's aerial ability, as well as positional sense back in the team, makes sense, as having both Stones and Otomendi, as good as the Otter is, and Stones heading has improved, there will be mistakes on offer from this pairing, Vinny will mark his compatriot Benteke, being the only one who can physically go toe to toe with him.
Will be interesting to see Yaya, if he's up for it, he will tear Palace apart with his passing and shooting ability, I'm sure Pep has seen something in training that assures him he is up for it
