Re: Yaya?
I am sure that he scares the United team, I firmly believe that we have had the upper hand of them of late because they know we are better than them and we know it too.
Yaya is not perfect but he is brilliant. I have been saying for some time that he is the best all round player in the league. I have despaired over the years at the lack of appreciation he gets on this forum. That third goal yesterday, very few midfield players (or even strikers) would have scored it: the way he accelerated towards the end of his run to make space and be available for Jimmy's pass and how he took it on and dispatched it with his weaker foot - superb.
People love to rave about Silva - I love to - but Yaya remains our most important player in my eyes. I really would not wish him gone too quickly.
Exeter Blue I am here said:schfc6 said:I know a rag, an ex season ticket holder. Decent amature footballer, he considers Ya Ya to be the best player in the league and as good as he's seen.
Maybe he can't rat around like Mark Nobal, but I'm yet to see a player influence a game like he does....
His effect on the minds of others should not be underestimated. Every rag I know is shit scared of Ya Ya (and Silva and Kun), and I wonder if some of their players don't allow that same inferiority complex to affect them when they play us. I know I used to panic when cross eyed Clarence used to get the ball in our half during the mid 90's.
No-one in English football in the last 5 years has come close to being able to run a game like Ya Ya, whatever his other shortcomings, and I still hope he will see his contract out with us
