How can you say we controlled that game?
Possession isn't control. Leicester allowed us to keep possession on the halfway line because we weren't a threat, Yaya couldn't get any of our attacking quartet on the ball in good positions because he no longer drives forward and commits midfielders. In years gone by he would have driven forward into the space Leicester allowed us, which in turn forces a defender or midfielder to come out of position, giving the attacking players space to move into.
Tilting at windmillsThis.....Yaya has the ability only a few have and that is to change a game, win it for us.,He has scored some very important goals for us as did Dzeko. Both have been battered on here with a lack of recognition to what they have given us...
Look at the important goals he's scored.
So of the things people say about him are a joke
I think the only way to get the best out of him is playing Fernadinho, Fernando and Delph behind him. That would mean sacrificing two of Silva, KDB and Sterling. How can we justify that?
If Pep comes in Yaya is a gonner. Been one of the most significant players in a successful era but you have to move on at the right time. One of GPC's great strengths was knowing when a star's time was up.
Bollocks, he got rid of most "stars" for going against his authority (Stam, Keane, Beckham). And he kept a good few who had long since declined as long as they toed the line (Giggs, Scholes, Ferdinand).One of GPC's great strengths was knowing when a star's time was up.

Neither am I, his role will be reduced anyway as he ages, but I think it will also be revised, most good technical players don't lose it, they just lose their legs, but they can still do the good stuff (see Gareth Barry today for Everton), Yaya reads the game too well to be just dismissed, he'll just be used less, and he provides options going both ways, whether we need something late on, or need experience to close a game out.Not convinced he would be a gonner under Guardialoa either though he may well have a reduced role.
Even though its off topic, quite correct, and all those you named are spot on, he even brought a faded Scholes back because they were in the shit, and he did nothing much to help their cause. The whole irony is that he f**ked united up more than Moyes or LVG will ever do, and their muppet supporters will never accept it.Bollocks, he got rid of most "stars" for going against his authority (Stam, Keane, Beckham).
