Re: Player topic: Yaya Toure (2014/15)

Your confusing bad spell with bad attitude, totally different things.

I'm not.. On the pitch his attitude of the ball as always been poor especially against teams who have a higher % ball retention.. He should be playing with 2 midfielders behind him and let him do all his work on the ball in the oppositions last 3rd..

I don't necessarily disagree but where does Silva play then?

My point is on several threads "we can't unlock a 10 man defence " . We need need to take players on and draw fouls. He's big and a class footballer, So why no try this 5-6 times in the first 20 mins of games. If he was unfit and taken off at half time. WOuld have loved the commentary v Liverpool " Toure GOes past henderson as if he wasn't there , brushes aside Allen , Rounds Skrtel. 1-0 to city" . Surely trying that is better than a sideways pass.

That leaves us way too exposed out wide.

Think about Neymar/Alba and Messi/Alves.

Think about Rafinha/Robben and Alaba/Ribery.

We would be murdered.

We can afford one luxury playing behind the striker in games against top opposition imo and I'd have Silva over Yaya all day long.

If he's 'too unfit' to track Rakitic in the 30th minute then something's wrong.

Not fit enough to play against West Brom but fit enough to play 90 minutes in a pointless friendly 5 days later.

Yaya used to be that player, you obviously think he still is and that's fine.

I no longer see him in that light.

So after a season like last season and a poorer one this season you've give up on him? Well that's loyalty for you..

How ironic you quote "loyalty" as a reason to back Yaya Toure.

I think you need to rewind your memory back to a summer of cakes and accusations to see true loyalty.

And to quote your good self "On the pitch his attitude of the ball as always been poor especially against teams who have a higher % ball retention". That says everything doesn't it? Why would you defend any player you think isn't giving 100%? It's indefensible? Everyone accepts shit games like Aguero had at the weekend against West Brom because he worked his f*cking socks off trying, no one can accept c**ts that don't try.

Everyone on here was accepting him just fine for the last 4 years.


A decent manager not obsessed with 2 strikers would have had us playing

-------Dinho--Nando
--Silva-----Yaya------Nasri

from the start of this season.

On how many occasions have the above five been fit and available at the same time?

Dinho, Nando and Yaya have most of the time.
