Player topic : Yaya Toure (2015/16)

[ZZmaestro]

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.

I am pretty much sure that Mancini and Pellers know very well that side of our Yaya.
But what they know even more is that Yaya has this unique ability to turn a match by a pure moment of genius's magic.
In that matter, i think that we should have kept Spanish Dave as Silva's nickname and give Yaya the "Merlin" one, i find it a thousand time more suited.
How many time has Yaya bailed us out in capital games with a goal coming out of nowhere while we were looking like never scoring even if playing for 500 remaining minutes ?
Yes, countless times, and managers know that even a half arsed and half fit detrimental Yaya can produce a bit of magic skill that will turn a game's result around in our favour.

Nowadays the years are taking their tolls on Yaya's performances, 2013-2014 was his peak season and he is only going backwards from that time.
Even if he is a living legend, a decaying one mind you, since our performance trajectory matches his, obviously time will come to part next summer.
For the time being, we just have to hope that the Ferns/Delph partnership will reveal efficient.

And this is our club captain...

I fucking knew he'd spit his dummy out about this. Biggest mard arse in football who thinks everyone should be down on their knees kissing his boots.

If that's the case, Yaya shouldn't have won it 4 times. You clearly don't know how good Aubamayang is and he deserved it.

I was translating what Yaya meant because you couldn't understand it.

I think BS was telling you what Yaya was alluding to rather than who deserved the award the most.

Ah, the 'I hate Yaya' thread......

He won the AFCON, the guy whose name I can't spell was knocked out in round one. Toure believes his contribution to the tournament should see him win the award, not just accomplishments on foreign soil.

He probably also isn't happy the guy who won it was born in france, raised in france, played youth football for France and never played in Africa. He's a French guy who decided to play for his parents country.

That has nothing to do with it. He's just upset cos he didn't win it. He has previous form of moaning when he doesn't win the awards he feels like he deserves. Behaviour you'd expect from a 5 year old not a 32 year old professional footballer.

For how long are we gonna suck him off? Turns up only when he wants to. If he was at barca or bayern munich he would've been kicked out in a heart with a stinking attitude like this. Can't believe he's our vice captain.

Yep, he needs to go. Legend but way past his best. His attitude explains his laziness anyway, thinks hes the best player ever! Can't wait for our customary smackings at places like Anfield where they run us off the pitch as he walks around not caring.

His words are probably taken slightly out of context. If you've ever listened to a Yaya interview you'd know it's virtually impossible to understand what the hell he's going on about. He's the most inaudible man i've ever heard. That being said, the guy needs to learn to have some grace, Winning the AFCON is pretty much the only reason he was even on the list in the first place. Try not spending 5-10 minutes per game sat down if you want to win an award.
