Player topic: Yaya Toure (2014/15)

Re: Yaya?

if he is deliberately under performing as you imply then pellegrini should be noticing and taking the requisite action.

as we found out on tuesday we can't carry passengers at this level, whoever it is

There's nothing deliberate about it. He just struggles against teams that press hard - whether it be the likes of Southampton, Swansea or Liverpool, or pretty much any decent side in Europe. Always has, hence why his performances against the top sides in the Champions League have been so underwhelming.

He played well against Chelsea, who defend much deeper and so afforded him more space; I'm sure he'll do fine against CSKA if they play that way. Against Roma away and Bayern at home though, he'll struggle again, all the more so if he's in a midfield two.

This is why we need 3 in midfield, to do the running for Yaya. Then he can dictate the game with his precise passing.

Against the best sides, I'd agree - I'd play Yaya slightly deeper, where he would almost certainly get a bit more time on the ball, and play Fernandinho and Milner either side of him.

Re: Yaya?

Most of the hate towards Yaya is not understanding his role in the team. Tactically he is asked to play a role similar to regista. Think if someone like Pirlo. He is asked to play deep and link def-mid-att. No one else can play all sorts of passing and also keep the ball. He also joins the attack late.

Unfortunately most here also have the expectations that he man mark and play role of dm. Would you expect that of pirlo? Lampard for example is classic attacking midfielder but no one here would expect him to link play and same time score. The expectations the place on Yaya would be of that of superman. Track/destroy opposition play, link the play, and score goals. Most teams utilize 3 players for those roles.

Thanks for putting the uneducated majority right Kolo. I'm sure we're all grateful.

From a pretty decent Itk.. Who gets most right.. And I don't think this will be that far off the truth...

@FootieWriter

Yaya has made it clear he wants to leave city... And will leave in Jan or the summer and the club have agreed

Cash in on him if he wants out. We need hungry players who are committed.

If he continues this form, who will take him? His wages are not low either...

If he wants out, why keep playing him and getting these half arsed performances ?

Re: Yaya?

Brian the snail this season.

Smiling and laughing at the end. Fuck off yaya. Wish we had sold him

May as well have played with 10 men and then he stands laughing and hugging pep at the end, better not say what I want with emotions very raw at the moment! Wanker

The invisible player returns. Laughs and jokes with the opponent team at the end. Wouldn't particularly care if his contract didn't get renewed.

Why the fuck didn't we sell him this summer?

Rating today: -10

Said we should have got shot.

A fucking passenger.

Add that to shocking fitness and couldn't give a shit attitude, he and Nasri continue to steal a living.

he is a grade A C**t
laughing and joking with pep fuck off yaya you c**t

He should never pull on a shirt again, he is lazy, petulant and down right not interested,
I couldn't believe we brought Dzeko off before him, he was absolutely abysmal.

He's checked out completely. He doesn't give a fuck about playing for us anymore and put in zero effort yet again. Should have sold him in the summer when we could have got good money. Should be dropped to train alone while we throw cakes at the lazy twat till he bucks up his ideas.

Said at the time, thought we missed a chance in the summer to move him on. He's been fabulous for us, and will rightly go down as one of the greatest players we've ever had. But I can't see a place for him in the side against the top sides in Europe. Can't use him in a midfield two, and not good enough further forward.

Watching him trundling around in that position for the last 25 minutes while Silva was stuck out on the left wing was enough to nearly make my head explode.

Plays like a lazy overweight plank then celebrates with Bayern manager at the end. Time we got rid of him and his effing ego and his birthday cake.

He's a useless arrogant wage-thieving shiftless bastard. We should drop him permanently and pay someone to take him off our hands in January.

I genuinely hate the ****. I don't care if I never see him again.

The hardest work he did all night was licking Peps arse........ ****

It's fucking stupid. Reckon if we weren't playing with ten men we could of won. I don't blame Yaya to be honest, I don't think he could of made it anymore clear he wanted off the pitch. The fact he didn't play against Arsenal for a full 90 must of been a clerical error.

There is a thing called pride in the shirt, and as a consequence feeling gutted if you lose.

That is utterly disgraceful and sends a very poor message that he doesn't care whether we win or lose.

Absolute disgrace tonight. After such "don't give a shit" performance I could live without seeing him ever in City shirt.

Think Yaya thinks he is doing us a favour playing for us, if he does get rid. Felt sorry for the rest of the team tonight.

Low life ****. How can you watch someone next to you working his fucking guts off (fernandinho) and just casually stroll about not giving a fuck? Tgis prick got a rest on saturday for that. Rat

£300k pw for that performance? I couldn't give a shit about people saying "he's carried us enough in the past" - for £300k per week and supposedly world class you're supposed to be a leader in the team every week.

I don't mind if someone has a poor performance...that's not the issue people are making on here - it's the fact he's clearly overweight and just isn't putting the effort in. This is from a player who never had a game at the weekend so should be fresh. Putting our best player (Silva) onto the left to make room for that lazy f*ck was just a bad decision.

No surprise that we looked much more solid in the 2nd half in the middle of the pitch with Milner & Fernandinho....

Get rid of him - been a great player for us, but his time is at and end....Fernando & Fernandinho for me.

He's a c**t. Said so in the summer and seen nothing so far this season to change my mind. Fat lump having a jog in circles in a game as big as that? We should have fucked him off in the summer...hope he proves me wrong but I think we will regret not doing so.

We are stuck with him until January.

Yaya made Mario look like a grafter tonight !! Maybe he was just fucked and should have been substituted ?? But if you are playing you could at least look interested and put some effort in, Milner's piss must be boiling when he watches such an obvious lack of effort and he can't get a game !!

I see the armchair brigade are out, "YAYA NEVER SCORED A GOAL WE SHOULD SELL"


The next time Yaya has a stormer he'll not be the overweight, overpaid, uninterested, lazy ****.

Is right lad.
