Player topic : Yaya Toure (2015/16)

[Trolleyhead]

If you don't have him as one of the top five City players of all time then you have no idea. Quality.

Unfortunately mate plenty have absolutely no idea. Whatsoever.

He was dropping deep to get the ball because the centre backs aren't good enough to play it out.

He was quality tonight.

If youre putting blame on him for their goal then you're really pushing it that's for sure.

Not like you understand that position...Fernando motm vs Barca etc.

Have a look at the goal. The striker of the ball was not closed down

I thought he struggled tonight. He used the ball reasonably well but he was largely just collecting it off the defenders. A passenger I felt

He was. Sadly players don't last forever. They all have their day. Hopefully Yaya will get a 2nd wind, but I can't see it, and I didn't see it tonight despite an outstanding team performance in the 2nd half (aided by a pathetic 2nd half from the German team)

The Gladbach fans on the row behind me tapped me on the shoulder and said "Yaya...wow!" "Very nice player!"

He sprayed the ball well from side to side and tried a couple of forward runs. he was playing very very deep, practically a centre back at times and I felt he was very uneffectual. have a look at their 1st goal as well.

Look at Otamendi for that goal instead. He stepped out but ended up in no man's land with 2 players running past him either side

With the legs of Delph and Fernandinho around him he can play his own game and I thought he was excellent tonight.

He had a couple of old school moments tonight where he burst through a couple of challenges and found himself running down their throats. It was great to see him doing that again. Overall he had a decent game but there were other aspects that he was found wanting - especially in the first half.

I will. And you have a look at Toure. he leaves the goalscorer. He's nowhere near him when he strikes it

You are just embarrassing yourself now. Go to bed mate.

I thought he was phenomenonal. Very energetic and hard working, some real classy moments on the ball too. One of his best CL displays for us.
