Yaya Toure - 2017/18 performances

[Gabriel]

Coming on for Fernandinho was a hard task for him. He's fine when the ball is at his feet, but he just cannot make the yards to free up space for the triangles these days. Other players have to drop deeper to compensate. Still, he ambles off with another assist. Genius. :-)

Thank you so much Yaya

Hardly an assist, Sergio ran half the pitch after receiving the pass.

When you come on for a cameo like that tonight and still look leggy and throw a few sloppy passes about you know its nearly time for the great man to move on.

Merlin is the greatest no doubt but for impact on the club, Yaya gets my vote he was that good and that influential imo but his time is now at an end.

 

[bluemoon32]

Shouldn't be anywhere near the squad, he was great for us but it's pointless keeping him around anymore.

I know, but I never quite get what constitutes an 'assist'. :-)

For me it's setting up a scoring chance, Sergio made his own bloody chance tbf :)

 

[Goater=Legend]

He deserves to be with the rest of the squad for the final game in May and give him a proper send off.

Where the fuck have you been?

 

[aguero93:20]

Where the fuck have you been?

Elsewhere.

 

[moomba]

Couldn't be happier with him getting another title, and a big Zaba style send off in May.

 

[Phil1]

Elsewhere.

I missed you.

 

[worsleyweb]

He was great

 

[peter.evans]

Let's see how he goes if he gets a run in the team before writing him off. One thing is for sure though, he is one of the top half dozen or so greatest players ever to play for Manchester City !

 

[aguero93:20]

I missed you.

Ah cheers :)

Elsewhere.

Can't you go back there?

 

[aguero93:20]

Can't you go back there?

Nah, fed up with the ****s that are there tbh.

 

[Phil1]

Let's see how he goes if he gets a run in the team before writing him off. One thing is for sure though, he is one of the top 5 greatest players ever to play for Manchester City !

He won’t be getting a run in the team again so you’re best remembering him for what he’s done in the past.

 

[cucumberman]

In his prime the best midfielder to ever wear the City shirt, scored 24 goals in one season, unstoppable penalties and impossible curls on free kicks. Dictated the play more than Silva. His rapid decline robbed us of a very good player who for 2 years at least we talked of who would be the next Yaya in a system where he was central to our formation.

I just don't think his physique can cope with high intensity at his age. Part of his technique involved pace and muscling through the midfield like the graceful man mountain that he was then. The good news is we no longer need a Yaya like player in the team. It would be useful to have that option, but we have gone with the Pep route in moving the ball around in pace, instead of having a focal player to ping the ball back and forth from.

 

[worsleyweb]

He is perfect for little cameos like that
