None of us are perfect.
Yea but there's 'running' and there's running effectively.
Slowly jogging back up field or jogging after the guy who has just zoomed by you might be running but it's not helping and he spends way too much time doing that.
But yes, he's still an effective player. I just think he's being used wrong. And if our style of play means he has to be played as part of a midfield two then that style needs tinkering with.

So let's use the word "indecent" instead of "disgraceful" - as Yaya did. Happy now?
And how about substituting "petulance" for "winning mentality"?
Did someone mention a dictionary?
How is a "lazy look about him" any different to him just being lazy?
His personality should not be an issue, it's his current playing ability that is the issue.
He's shown he can score and create goals, and not everyone can, but the team are carrying him in between moments that may or may not arrive. We can handle it at home and against weak teams, we can't away
I don't accept that there is no alternative. It has gone too far now.
The whole chapter reads very badly for Pellegrini. He's let this situation develop. But better to react if late than not to react at all. Play him at Norwich, and from now on as and when. And lets take the opportunity of going back to 442 and play to the strengths of Aguero, Silva, De Bruyne and Sterling. There's a 4 there which should be tearing opposition defences apart

He isn't lazy. He has just lost some power and speed. Is every ageing man or woman lazy?
