and his bank balanceHe's obviously completely done and shouldn't still be here other than for sentimental reasons. His legs have gone and the lack of game time has probably contributed to his inability to find a quick forward pass. Still ran rings around Zinchenko on their second goal mind, so it's not as if he's not trying. Just shouldn't be here any more and it's becoming a bit of a sad end to his career here, as he's clearly just hanging around to pad out his trophy cabinet
Don't think so tbh, he could make more strolling around China or the US, but when people look back at his career it will now say 3 PL titles and I think that's the main reason he's stuck aroundand his bank balance
I don't think he was great, but the narrative here is just assinine. He ran more times defensively in this game than he often did at his peak 4 years ago. I mean even for their second goal, he was at fucking Right back and he got there by running from the middle.
Yes he ( and Zee and Foden and Gundogan) all spent way too much time leisurely passing it around and backwards with few ideas going forward.
But he was neither lazy not disinterested. That narrative is just silly.
he is not on 200g a week,he took a big cut with his yrs contract and why pick on him today?200k per week for a bit of training each day and only question for him is he on the bench without being sent in or not even making the squad on a matchday.
He is having the time of his life imo.
There's genuinely no point in criticizing Yaya at this point. He won't play anymore European games this season and he'll only feature in the league once it's wrapped up, maybe even only the last home game. He's a goner in the summer, at this point he's only getting minutes out of respect for what he's done for the club.
He's a legend for us nonetheless.
Well, he picked a few days after his brother died to try and belittle the club, so why not?he is not on 200g a week,he took a big cut with his yrs contract and why pick on him today?
