At some point they simply have to rested. We can't play the same team of 30 year olds 3 times a week for the whole of January.

Don't want to get knocked out, but if we do, it will be the fault of the players on the pitch, who should be easily good enough to beat Norwich.

It's you with the obsession, like I said win lose or draw your on here giving it out about him..

Have you even seen or read the interview? Here just for you..


Just then, three Ghanaian reporters walk in. They hesitate, unsure of his mood and whether to try for an exclusive. Eventually, Nana Akua Amankwaa from TV3 Ghana goes forward.

“Hi Yaya, can I get a selfie?”

Still pacing, the player responds: “Yes, sure.” After the selfie, she asks for an interview. Touré agrees.

While her cameraman gets ready, the third journalist, Kwame Dwomoh from Class FM in Accra, whips out his recorder. Lights are checked. Sound is checked. And then Kwame asks the midfielder: “Were you surprised you came in second today?”

“To be honest? Yeah, a little bit. But at the end of the day what you have to know is that in sport anything [can] happen. And to be a player who wants to achieve a lot of things as much as possible, it is very important to keep it going. And sometimes, when, in the end, you win a trophy and you are not able to achieve things personally it is a shame. But what can we do?”

Kwame: “Were you expecting to win?”

Touré: “What do you think? I ask you a question.”

Kwame: “I don’t know”.

Touré: “You don’t know? Me as well, I don’t know. Because normally when you win the African Cup of Nations and you are able to be named as one of the 23 best players in the world, being in the Fifpro list as the [only] African and, today, to be decided second, what can you do?”

Touré is asked how disappointed he is, considering that this would have been a record fifth award. He blows out his cheeks. “I think so, yeah. Because normally this kind of trophy you achieve it when you have won something and when, at the end of the season, you have achieved something, you know what I mean? I don’t say like I would be the best and I don’t want to complain but when you win important trophies and you don’t win personal trophies it is a little bit of a shame.”

Kwame: “Do you want to congratulate Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang?”

Yaya: “Yes, definitely. But I think it’s not his fault. The fault is with people he knows, you know what I mean? Aubameyang has been doing brilliantly. As well as André Ayew he deserves it today as well but to be honest with you I am little bit disappointed, but what can we do?”

He feels hard done by and robbed yet people on here call him an arsehole, remember he's a fucking city player who should be shown a lot more respect not just for what he's done for our club..Maybe, just maybe that's why he isn't shown respect and that my son is what fucking grates me..

Incy - or should I call you Dad? - I 've heard of people obsessing with players but not with other posters. Perhaps I should be flattered.

If you take a closer look at my posts, you'll see I don't refer to him (or any other City player) as an arsehole or an idle cnut. You'll find I mostly challenge lazy comments made in blind defence of him. Ones of the ilk that his knockers are Carragher fodder, or which dwell entirely on past glories, or which produce selective stats while ignoring visual evidence.

Maybe I should refrain but I can never resist picking low-hanging fruit.

Yes they do have to be rested and the league game on Wednesday v Everton is more important.

“It’s sad to see Africa react in this way, it does not give importance to African things,” Toure told Radio France International (RFI).

“This is what makes the shame of Africa. To behave in this way is indecent, but what can we do? We don’t show that Africa is important in our eyes.

“We give more priority to what is happening elsewhere than to our own continent. This is what is pathetic.”

And:

“Even Fifa with all of its history of corruption would not do this,” he said.

“I will give you an example — Lionel Messi wins all the trophies but it’s Cristiano Ronaldo who gets the Ballon d’Or. What would you say? It would be unfair.”

And he has won all of his other AFCON trophies because of what he did in Europe.

And in the AFCON, he was dogshit.

Everything is Pellegrini's fault as well you know mate.

The pre match thread is yet again a corker.
 
He seems to have given up, a few moments of magic here and there, but all in all he's lost focus and desire. He's lazy, greedy and completely self serving. I reckon he's in denial about losing a yard as he seems to think he can still run through teams like he did against Villa 2014.
