Player topic : Yaya Toure (2015/16)

[Wretched Vengeance]

Legend for the club but has shown us tremendous disrespect by asking for a transfer twice.

He shouldn't be captain, shouldn't be undroppable and should expect no loyalty from the fans since he has shown us non.

I love him but it is games like this where he should be hauled off at half time.

But Otamendi flying through the air is alright?

Right you are ? Thumbs up.

Cheers

Fed up of him now. Should be used as a sub, like Lampard.

Way too much cake consumption going on there.

I agree that he was poor. What sticks in my craw is the abuse he gets from the fans when he loses the ball or misplaces a pass, and when others do it there is barely a groan. How he must wish he was given as much leeway as some who have contributed so much less than him.

Have to agree with this. The double standard he is held to is really pathetic.

Shambolic tonight. Total piss take of a performance. Wtf was he thinking trying to Meg someone in our half?

From the MUEN report

He has his critics - but Yaya Toure was the dominant player in City’s midfield in this one.
Fernandinho’s performances have eclipsed the Ivorian’s for much of the season, with the Brazilian’s dynamism key to City’s best moments. But it was Toure’s ability to dictate the game that made him stand out at Goodison Park.
His passing was accurate, he always wanted the ball and, wearing the captain’s armband, led by example.

Yaya, you have been fantastic for us, dragging us by the scruff of the neck at times, however you are now making our better players to do your work for you, nullifying all of our creativity, fluidity and direct threat. Can you please do the honourable thing, give up the armband, play once a week and put in 80% when you do play. You really are setting a bad example and in danger of ruining your legacy. Their is a place for you spreading the ball out quickly for Navas, Sterling & Kun, this would cost you no more than 80% effort and commitment, because currently we need to stop you relying on Fernandinio, Merlin, KDB & Navas to do your dirty work for you. You are beginning to look like you don't give a crap and your reputation deserves better, come on big man!

I didn't know his mother was a journalist there!
Watched a different game to the one I saw. THAT was one of his worst ever performances - and I'm sick of seeing him - as Captain - 1st down the tunnel with no appreciation of our excellent away support.

Yaya will be out biggest conundrum next season I reckon because firstly I don't see us selling him as no team will pay a fee for him at his age and come close to his wages, so seeing out the last year on his contract will be likely.

Secondly, it's starting to look like he is becoming a luxury player who can't perform at a consistent high level for at least 70-75 minutes. you get 10-15 minute patches or individual moments like at Watford now from Yaya, and as the Everton game showed, he can't play 2 or three games a week now.

For me this summer is the window we have to start looking for a long term replacement, but for now we have to start looking at managing him better.

Think yaya is getting unfair stick.
Not his fault pellegrini picks him every match.at his age we should save him for the big matches and bring him on as sub, not overplay him.
He has proved he still has it,just give him a regular rest,why buy all those midfielders and never rotate yaya.
Surely we don't need yaya in the early stages of the cups etc., we bought Delphi because of his work rate, put him to work, give him more game time and cherry pick using yaya.
