That is the only way i can see of employing yaya in the deeper role yet still maintaing a solid defensive base...width would have to come from the full backs

Not sure if it wouls work tho and not sure if mp would ever employ it

Could just be a straight 433 and not 4321 as ive written it above

He has been a great player for us but sorry it's time to let him go. I dread what arsenals mobile midfield will do to him.
The image of Phil Jones outpacing him today tells us all we need to know.
A city great, past tense sadly now

Rest him more and use him as a sub most games, been saying this for a while now.

Looks like it will be yaya'a last season with us. After all the shite in the best with his agent etc he has been an absolute monster for us and dragged us kicking and screaming to trophies. He's just not the force he was and the club are moving so fast that he won't be kept on as a passenger. Added to his huge wages a younger player will be brought in but yaya has been a legend for us and will go down in city's history As a great

I agree in theory, but we can't be paying out over 200k a week for 30 minutes of match time.

I don't think he' done yet and has an important part to play at least for this season.

We need to use him more tactically, he's going to be great still in matches when we're dominating as he can pick a pass, shoot, create space with his runs as he always has. But the time has come where he's stopped being an asset in certain matches & is leaning towards the liability aspect.

Those are the matches where he should be benched & used more as an impact rather than a starter. Those matches are also few & far between so he would still be getting a lot of game time. Only problem is I'm not sure Pellegrini has the balls to do this or Yaya has the attitude to accept it. Guess we'll see how it pans out.

Remember the days when you didn't even need to worry about Yaya turning up for a game? He played really well against Sevilla and then today was like he couldn't be arsed. So frustrating when you think back just a couple of years and he was dominating the league.

First game of the season he looked leaner,fitter and hungry. Now he looks ponderous,and slow.

 

[Blue Haze]

He looks exhausted. Normally he loves playing them, but today he wasn't himself.
