Yaya - a lazy ass or something else?

[Somud]

What in your opinion is the problem with Yaya?

He is time and time again frustrating to watch, as he seems to be just walking around refusing to use his body strength and in general just being completely off the pace. What is his problem?

Poor form. That's all.

IMHO, our worst player today. I thought surely Mancini saw the same thing I did and was going to replace him with DeJong. He has all the latent talent of any of the worlds best, I just wish he looked a little more motivated on a regular basis.

In answer to your question... I have no idea. I hope it is something else.

At times he runs like Usain Bolt and some other times he runs like Barry

Lazy shite.done nothing all season.

I dont think he should play every game

 

[StMark's]

Not lazy, I think the guy really cares.

But his mobility is a problem for me. He's too slow to get into position when we lose the ball.

Also too easy to get past. A quick side step and once the player is away from him that's him out of the game.

Barry may not be the quickest but he reads the game better and was doing a lot of covering for Yaya tonight when we didn't have the ball.

Our best midfielder.

We had this thread early last season and it came back to embarrass people. He's a class player and was good in the opening few games. Hasn't been so good in last few but he and Barry are not a good holding midfield pair as neither of them will chase and harry like De Jong will. De Jong and Yaya should be tried together and if that isn't enough then back to three midfielders when necessary with Yaya pushing forward.

Not a fan. Inconsistent and his body language is all wrong.
