Re: Yaya?
need a sense of perspective i think.
we are 5 games into the season. the kid hasn't had a proper pre-season under his belt and he should be up to the levels that he showed last season?
let's be honest, last season was a stellar season for Yaya, probably the best he's ever had and probably wont have a season like that again.
Whether he wants to be here or not after 'Birthdaygate' is beside the point. He kid lost his brother a few months ago, that's got to affect him mentality, it will change him as a person and a footballer. The kid will still be grieving, so I'm of the opinion that we, the fans, should be supporting him and let him find his way without the boo-boys giving him shit.
If he isn't right, mentality, then its down to the coaching staff and the club to recognise that and act appropriately for the player, no one else.
If by January and there is no improvement, or there is a clear sign that its jut that he doesnt want to play for the club, then deal with it then. its too early to get on his back, support the guy until there is real concern about him that is detrimental to the team.
As far as i'm concerned, its early season form for the whole team isnt stunning, yet not poor. It's been a tough start, tougher than anything i can remember at the start of a season and we've got easier days to come. Try not let emotions after a tough game cloud the realism of the moment, and support the boys. CTID!
