Fck awful except he took the trouble to poke his big toe.

He was far from woeful.

+1
i am not sure what people watch out for when he plays... plus no one mentions that he has been playing hurt... his leg is heavily wrapped and the few times he is subbed he goes in for treatment but i bet you people think he is pouting... yet he still produces brilliant moments that the team feeds off; these are not coincidences or luck...
of the so call spine of the team he is the most present (even including the African cup absences)... he always has the most touches, passes, and up there in tackles... a football player does not have to run around the field like a headless chicken to be effective...

Lazy , with no desire and then brilliant in the next breath , a sign of an enigmatic but world class player , love him or loathe him , yaya is often the man who makes the difference ,we will not realise how good he has been for this club , until he leaves.

thank you... that sums it up for me...
I think it was Sam Roscoe (i could be wrong this was last season) on the Bluemoon podcast that first mentioned/ranted that only black african players are ever, continually labeled lazy... when the stats always show Yaya having more touches, more passes than every body else and only second in covering more ground to Fernandhino, and tackles... but is far more effective in goal scoring and assist... yes we will only appreciate him once he is retired....

Yaya toure is the Rock this side was built on

Class act who has been the driver of our success. Still digging us out of the shit even now. Thank you Yaya but how on earth do we replace you?

Don't think I ever remember him scoring with his left then he has 3 in 4 with it.
The biggest problem we have is we still rely on him too much.

As a team playing City you know you're in trouble when when YaYa starts hobbling...
