You can be sarcastic but a narrative was set by a couple of pundits - mainly Carragher - which was then repeated enough times for it to become accepted fact by not only other pundits and journalists (who I was actually mainly referring to) but our own fans as well.
In the Arsenal analysis Carragher actually blamed Yaya for not marking Ozil for the goal when mangala had just given the ball away. He quite rightly should have been nowhere near Ozil as we had the ball and he can't legislate for us giving it away.
But Carragher uses it to lazily compound the myth that Yaya is lazy and people swallow it hook, line and sinker.
Yaya isn't immune from criticism and he does have his faults but this idea that's he's lazy is just complete and utter bollocks.
Given all he has achieved in his career - that's before we even get onto what he has done for City (and continues to do - see yesterday) - then he deserves a bit more respect than being branded as lazy.
There's no argument about the past. The present is a trade-off between moments of genius and a player really struggling to get to the pace of the game. If he produces moments like that at Watford its a no-brainer. That's too big an ask. I think we should be picking and choosing our games like we did with Lampard.Personally I still think Yaya is unbelievable. He's still world class. I don't care whether he's lazy he always shows up when it's most important with some vital goals. Still some fans don't see how much he is doing for us and especially how much he has done for us. I would keep for him for another season or 2 but when he goes he must be shown the respect he deserves for what he has done for us. Without him nothing would of happened his goal against United at Wembley in the semi final started everything and that is or one of the biggest goals in our history. A city legend forever.
Hallelujah brother...
Someone who gets what the media and TV are doing "Lead and Fed" and it's working but most are waking up to it thank fuck, not much chanting for Yaya these days...Fucking Lazy my arse...
Right on cue..
