Player topic : Yaya Toure (2015/16)

[stablemcfc]

If ever a match summed him up....

Total liability for 75 minutes, same mistakes of playing him in a 2 against a decent side causing us the same old problems. Followed by looking by far and away our best player for the last 15.

Say it every time, he's great in matches that we're dominant or chasing a game like the 2nd half - but a liability in tough matches in a 2. We really need to start using him sensibly because it's so frustrating to watch him jog around half-heartedly for 60 minutes causing us all sorts of problems, then turn it on once the game is out of our reach.

Even when not at his best, he's way ahead of everyone else on the pitch in terms of ability, if not quite application.

He's being carried... My fav ever city player, but my god he is costing us!!!

Why turn up for the last 10 mins and not the 80 before? Liability, lazy.

Although his goal was too little, too late.

 

[Marvin]

Last 1/4 an hour was encouraging. Sorry I doubted him

 

[Armaan]

Play him further up the pitch, he's as good as any in and around the box. I don't care what anyone says Silva slowed us down badly when he was playing and when he went off we looked a lot better when yaya was getting in to those positions. If we're gonna continue to just play him further back there's no point then might as well look for someone else.

 

[Clercqs]

He was abysmal for 80 minutes. Then the best player in the world the last 10.

 

[Blue Coop]

He's been excellent at this club but it's time for him to move on. His last 20 minutes were excellent, but we were already chasing the game because of his laziness in the middle of the park, and that kind of impact is the exception and not the rule now. I don't blame Yaya as much as I blame the manager - Pellegrini's loyalty to Yaya is his single biggest flaw; we all know his weaknesses, and when you lose 3-4 games in quick succession making the same tactical mistake you have to take the blame.

All the so called big games are ending the same way for City. And one thing never changes, and that's Toure in a two man central midfield.
