Player topic: Yaya Toure 2014/15 (continued)

[SJT]

Must have been said numerous times on here, not got time to look at every post

Tour should be dropped and sold at the end of the season, what a lazy arse! he's been on holiday since he got the ACON trophy in the bag.
literally jogging about, wheres Bony? and Dzeko, what a joke we gave it to them, i'm worried as we all should be about scrapping for the last CL spot.
FFP has definitely pissed on our year on year progression - we need to challenge that ASAP.

Should never pull on a city shirt again!

As much as Yaya's done for us, I agree with this.

His performances in the last few months have been awful and his defensive effort is flat out shocking for a professional footballer.

Fernandinho and Milner in centre midfield until the end of the season.. Drop Yaya.

Yaya won't be here next season, why continue to play him as he gives more lackluckter performances?

Milner can fuck off as well.

Another whose head is elsewhere.

Who decided to put Yaya on Bogbrush? As soon as that decision was made, the writing was on the wall. Bogbrush's eyes must've lit up when he saw who we'd put on him. For a big man, Yaya is dogshit in the air, and NOT a defensive midfielder. Moreover, his team mates will have looked at that and thought "what the fuck?", hence VK getting pulled all over the place.

Yes, he was lazy at times, but it was highlighted during the game that our midfield (with the exception of Fern) were ambling back too many times as a collective.

Too easy to bash Yaya, his performance was a direct result of the position he was played in. We wasted all the best attributes in his game and stuck him in a position of absolutely no influence.

Criminal mismanagement..

Bollocks. Mismanagement? Fellaini had Yaya in his pocket when we had the ball but Yaya didn't reciprocate when the rags had it. He can't be arsed. He doesn't defend, he doesn't track runners and you have to stop defending him. Fernandinho put in a shift all game covering the midfield, if Yaya did the same it would have been fine. The idea was to hound the back four and Carrick and Fellaini, win it back and attack. We did that for ten minutes and were worthy of our lead. Then the wheels fell off, but Yaya has no fight in him. He won the ACON, that's what was missing from his cabinet. He's done now and we need to sell him. He offered nothing going forward or defensively. Had we played him further forward, Fellaini would still have sat on him and stopped him doing anything. Yaya's time is up.

I still think Milner gives 100% every game, whether he's here next season or not.

Look, I'm not disagreeing with your general comments, but if he wasn't given that role, we would have got more out of him. Then maybe Fellaini would have been pushed further back and not took the piss. That's down to putting the wrong player in the wrong hole, poor management in my opinion..

Absolutely shocked that some Blues are still defending Yaya. He is the main reason for our recent poor performances its like we have been playing with ten men every game he has played recently. Worse for me is the fact he thinks this is acceptable. He is making mugs out of the lot of us.

 

[Lomas has a lob on]

Lampard should play the last 6 games instead of Yaya.

A proper "pro"!

If true, Why is Pellegrini still picking him?

There were 10 Scapegoats yesterday.

Because Yaya is can obviously not be dropped. Disagree with the other 10. Don't think Fernandinho did much wrong and the effort was there for all to see. Think Joe could have done better with the Mata goal but he did little else wrong.
