How much do we owe to Yaya?

His goal v Villa looked like he had the whole Villa team chasing him, squatting them away like flies

With an Eighteen year old Jack Grealish amongst the chasing pack, he made his debut for Villa that night as a substitute.

What a season YaYa had there.
Then adds on a worldie in a cup final and an typical YaYa run and pass for the clincher.
Our ultimate big game player.
I believe he was not even POTY that season.Some scouse loser might have won it.

It looked like and adult playing in an U-12 game , similar to Brian Glover in the film Kes , and all the kids running after him but couldnt get the ball off him , that goal was the definition of "men against boys" Yaya was a monster of a player.

I am talking about Yaya's goal in the semi final. Yaya just did not care, almost emotionless. That goal was seismic to me. It changed the mentality of the entire team.

I understand but as you rightly say they were dark times and it left us with a lot of romantic memories that get far better with each passing year, he had incredible moments but was often MIA, especially in away games.

I guess we will just agree to disagree.

He was immense and probably in my top 5 city players.

All you weirdos going on about cakes, grow up

He was a good player for us but he was part of a great team. I have always said, and always will say, that football is a team game. :-) :-)
