It's ok, he'll score a screamer in the next couple of games and we'll get the same people saying he's better than Silva and Aguero and that he's still vital for us.

One of the best players to ever play for us but he's now the Berbatov of our midfield and we're better off without him as a starter in my opinion.
 
You can tell how the game will go after 10mins with Yaya, he doesn't grow into the game or start slowly. He is either up for it and running the game from the kick off or he is misplacing passes, trying little flicks, being left on his arse by the opposition and so on and does this for the rest of the game.

How everyone apart from seemingly Pellegrini can see this is quite incredible.

I am not a fan for the board room getting involved but surely Txiki can see the issue and have a word with Pellegrini. This is a fantastic opportunity for us to pick up more than 1 trophy this season and we are throwing it away every opportunity we get.
Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal will be strong next season you would think, why the fuck are we wasting this golden chance.
 
One of the best players to have ever graced our shirt, has done more for this club than he will probably ever get the recognition for. However it is becoming sadder by the game to watch a once world class player on such a decline. We can still get the best out of him but as said already on this thread he can only play 1 game a week.

Last night epitomised what most have said "you know when it is time to drag him off". That was at HT last night and if that had been the case then we might have stopped Barry looking like Xavi. Yaya should have been closing him down but instead looked like an overweight ex footballer playing in a charity match. Needs a rest and I would even give him the next couple of games off then bring him back for Palace.

Still a legend of the club and always will be. But Pellegrini needs to start managing him better before all what he has done for us gets easily forgotten by the fans.

A fine post
 
I've come to the conclusion that Yaya is a liability these days. He occasionally does something special like the goal against Watford but the number of times play breaks down due to him losing the ball or falling over and the fact that he doesn't seem to put the effort in when required drags the whole team down. I'd rather play Fern and Delph in the centre and use Yaya as an impact sub but I suspect after Birthdaycakegate he was promised regular starts in all the big games. A top manager would have sold him at the end of the 2014 season when we could have got £30M+. I doubt we'd get £10M for him now and we haven't had £20M of value out of him in the last year and a half and he's also been paid £15M+ on top of that.
 
ive got to be honest, when i saw him warming up before the match i thought he looked like Adebayo Akinfenwa...
 
Thanks for the memories. He should not be playing all games now, the game passes him by when the opposition have the ball. We need another Midfield end to end player to fill the gaps.
We need a hard man to win the ball then pass on to our talented attack line.
