Yaya Toure - 2017/18 performances

[Gunnerblue9320]

To sum up Yaya's performance was poor, very poor.

I think people are expecting to see those marauding runs and when he doesn't do them, he's lazy and disinterested. He simply can't do them because he's the midfielder with the most defensive responsibility (unlike between 2010-2016/17)and probably due to a lack of match fitness. The system doesn't suit him but the technical ability is still there and rarely did he give it away. He did well tonight.

Just wish he had been a little more daring. Why he didn't take the free kick from outside the area i don't know. It was perfect for him.

I hope you're fucking kidding.

I actually think it would be a great sendoff. He has to have a sense of humor about it by now, it's such old news.

There was a lot of poor performances including yaya. The problem was that because of his mobility issues the team couldn't press or recover as they usually do. It was no different to last season when he plays the tempo is always slower. The first Basel goal he was partly culpable because he didn't track his runner and we lost the ball many times when he was one of three around it.

Absolutely a legend of a player but is no longer suited to our style of football. The deepest midfield role in the formation is one player and to be fair YAYA struggled when he was in a 2. I will never forget the magical years alongside De-Jong and Barry and prefer to keep those thoughts as one of the greatest players ever to play in the Premiere League.

Love Yaya, one of the best to have ever graced the shirt, but last night his positioning/passing was integral to their 2 goals. It’s a sad sight to see, he’s nit built for our new system and probably his legs no longer do what his head wants. A few late sub apps only for him now so we can give him the send off he deserves and not put him up for further embarrassment

Bloody awful last night. Too slow and even his passing which is usually his fall back was average. Didn't even want the free kick? Don't want to see him again in City shirt unless it is for a send off in recognition of his service to our club.

Guardiola playing mind games here,nowhere near squad for ages,then get's a ten min sub at Arsenal,get's a start in CL and made captain,taking the piss out of him and us to a degree,we know his career is over,is this just Guardiola trying to show us that it is ?

This.
So sad to see him end up like this.

One of our greatest ever players. Love the guy and can't criticize him for getting older and slower, it happens to us all.

The weakest link in the team last night by a stretch yet you'd rather slate Gundogan for an average performance than criticise this lazy sod, ycmiu.
