When I watch Toure play, I see every other player on the pitch trying to compensate for his poor passing and lack of work rate, I think that is causing the imbalance in the team, not De Bruyne
I had to read his Yaya's "poor passing" comment a couple of times....quite laughable.Toure and poor passing? He's probably the best passer of the ball in the league. The balance of the team was much better earlier in the season with Toure playing before we signed KDB. So as good a player as he is, I personally think we look a better balanced team at the moment without him.
Indeed- I think I can recall at least 2 but I might be mistaken it was a while ago!Even Colin had some poor matches in his day.

I doubt hes even in the top 10% of passers in the league let alone the best
Hahahaaaaaaaa.Yes not often mate but even the King could flit in and out of games.Perhaps a good rest is all that KDB needs to get him up and running to how he was in Oct/Nov.Indeed- I think I can recall at least 2 but I might be mistaken it was a while ago!
Go watch a different sport lad.I doubt hes even in the top 10% of passers in the league let alone the best
Haha wow.I doubt hes even in the top 10% of passers in the league let alone the best

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 :)
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.
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.
