Whoscored, who looks at all aspects of his passing eg. accuracy% assists etc. rate him as 13th best passer in the league. May make my point of not being in the top 10% incorrect but my point was that he is definitely not the best in the league. I don't think it was worthy of your condescending comment
You are not reading the who set of statistics though. For example he is behind De Bruyne, but has a 10% higher pass completion.
I think why you are getting so much stick is Ya Ya is a play maker. He dictates play. His pass completion isn't high because he plays like De Jong, he makes things happen. His passing despite his attacking intentions is near 90%. For some who takes risks with the ball, that stat is unreal.

That's a fair argument unlike some of the prats who decided it was fair game to insult me because they didn't agree with my view.
I just think that the team as a whole will be more balanced without Toure, didn't mean to insult anyone!

You attacked the man regarding his passing ability. For anyone who watched City for the last few years, it should be obvious how amazing his pass accuracy is considering his range and his role as the deep lying playmaker. You may not have meant to insult anyone, but you most certainly did.
I'm sorry but you were asking for an insult in a cyber hell-hole like this :)

haha fair
Aguero's legs are gone?You should be. This team is playing way below its full potential largely because the coach is building his team around a player whose legs have gone
Coz Pelegrini didn't do it. If he had, he'd have wanted him to give Sterling and DeBryune a little more time.

He is dead on his feet,used to a winter break,mp should not pick him for a couple of weeks or just bench
Should have been hooked at half time,left on far too long

People can say what they like and criticise De Bruyne but until Silva gets somewhere close to his best (he's currently about 2000 light years away from his best) KDB will continue to play almost every match. The reason is simple. We create nothing without him. Last night again he created six goal scoring opportunities for the other attackers. The nearest to him was Toure who created two.
He frustrates because he gives away the ball cheaply at times but creatively he's rapidly become more important than Silva and Toure. And when our attackers are missing the volume of chances that we are currently missing, I can see why Pellegrini won't drop the player who creates the most in the side and who's efficiency in the opposition box is generally head and shoulders above everyone in our side bar Kun.

Yep. Completely. De Bruyne can be frustrating, and as Billy says above, he does give the ball away, but that's because he takes risks. Almost everything he does is looking forward, with a goal in mind. He makes things happen, and has more end product than most in our squad. See the 2 almost identical 1-2 and shot on the edge of the box he had in both the Watford, and Everton games.
He makes things happen. What Pellegrini needs to do, is make it work with both him, and Silva in the team. Not playing De Bruyne through the centre last night was bizarre, although I did think Sterling was quite dangerous.
