I will leave it at that then

I'll bow down to your superior knowledge of professional football.

Have you played any sport at a decent level

Sunday league football that's it but I know that when I've made a mistake I'm pissed off with myself. I don't need a team mate to start giving both barrels to me aswell.

I will leave it at that then

What the fuck is this shit? Remind me what level Mourinho played before he became a multiple champions league winner. Robbie Savage and Paul Merson played at a higher level so why do they spew shite every day of the week?

Not saying I agree or disagree with your thoughts on Yaya but that's a pretty cheap, transparent way to try to end a debate.

Yep, you tend to be that bit more competitive and demanding the higher you go. I know if I had made that run and screamed for it and a dozy so and so had ran like a five year old down a blind alley I too would have been kicking off.

I think he means what I said in my last post. At a higher level you expect better.

I thought Yaya had a good game vs Norwich...he looked really up for it and was pressing and tacking (not his strongest attributes by a long way) right from the off.

Im not surprised he was pissed off at Bony...he should have passed and Id be worried if he wasn't upset about being brought off - he wants to play and he wants to win.

he has spoke of his commitment to Mp and the team in the last week and I think in the past we have criticised him for being "lazy" (a little unfair as his style of play doersnt help him as he is languid at times) but there are times when his defensive deficiencies cause us problems but he was really trying to sort that out vs Norwich from what i could see.

He will be here till the end of the season (maybe next) and it will be time for him go with the hugest thanks - this guy has dragged us kicking and screaming to titles (not on his own but he has played a huge part in it) and yes he has made some stupid mistakes with regards to behind the scenes stuff/transfers etc (but his dickhead agent doesn't help) but I can easily forgive that as what he does on the pitch is irreplaceable. when he goes we will have to change our style of play slightly as so much revolves around him (and silva)

Toure showing that he can play in Europe. Pellegrini's formation allowed him to do that. Sometimes sacrificing a flair player can reap rewards as it did tonight. The midfield 3 and front 3 were fantastic tonight.

His best performance in some time. That's why he frustrates many of us so much, because he's got that in his locker.

Dominant!

 

[MCFC1993]

Definitely his best European away performance for us, certainly put the question of him or Silva starting in big games, if we stick with the pace out wide. Kind of a good dilemma to have, although Pellegrini makes better team choices when some players aren't available.

Excellent tonight. Dangerous all the time, rarely ever gave the ball away deep (which we will REALLY miss when he leaves). Puts to bed the "Yaya shouldn't get a game away in Europe anymore" (yes, I know Sevilla are poor compared to many there sides in the comp) but may similarly start silly "will Silva get back in this team away in Europe?" discussions.
