yaya toure...

[Dirty Harry]

He just needs to get used to the speed of the premier league and up his fitness and workrate, he isn`t slow, far from it, watch him when he needs to use pace, he`s pretty fast, but he needs to use it almost constantly over the 90 minutes.

You don't seem to know the difference between acceleration and pace. Yaya's acceleration is probably the worst in the Premiership and that won't change.

I know the difference between acceleration ( where did I mention his acceleration btw) and pace, ie standing start to full speed and he still isn`t the slowest in the premiership, this will improve once his fitness levels get better and he`s lost a few pounds.

I am getting frustrated because he's a lot better than he's showing at the moment but he was still better than Barry and Milner.

He has always had this fitness level. He has always had very slow acceleration. It's not something new. And it won't change, it hasn't changed at all since he came to us either. It's just the player he is.

Hence why I said he needs to get used to the speed of the premier league and up his fitness and workrate, the cut and thrust of playing in this league week in week out will improve the overall sharpness of his game as opposed to the tempo in leagues he`s used to, we see it all the time and there`s no reason he cannot do this at 27 years of age.

It's interesting to see that in between the Yaya comments there is also concern about Milner and Barry!! Thats 3 of our midfielders for Christ sake in !poor form

I agree that they all must improve and fast

So disappointed with yaya so far, ok we've seen the odd glimpse but he has no snap to his play and I honestly don't think he can hack the pace of the league! Seems to involved in every argument that happens on the pitch as well!!

Personally, aside from today I cant really fault Yaya. I think he gets a lot of critisism for looking disinterested and lazy but i genuinely think its due to his physical figure. Hes such a big lad, cant expect him to be flying about like Johnson. It seems as though hes moving laboriously but i dont think its because hes lazy. He was just the same at Barcelona.If you watch his positional play and his distribution, youl see what a class act he is. His turn of pace is fantastic and he can split a defence in two. I dont understand people sometimes, we've got Yaya Toure in our squad, but people still arent satisfied.

I don't think he cares. I think his brother does, but I don't think Yaya does, which is something people can never have a go at Barry for. He might lack pace Gareth, but he gives his all and I think a better partnership would be Barry + Milner in the middle, AJ on the left, Silva on the right. Drop Yaya for a few games, he'll either sulk or he'll get his act together.

I'm waiting to be told I'm an idiot, blah blah, but he is yet to impress me in a city shirt. I accept he was class at barca, but other than a few glimpses, he has done nothing here. Arguably the laziest, ponderous most labourious player I've ever seen. And what made it worse is how quickly he was down the tunnell, didn't even come to clap us, like some did. I am worried he isn't interested in us, more in his wages, especially with the way he keeps going on about playing for barca again. He has to improve.

SPOT ON, Kolo could do a better job in midfield, I said that when we signed YAYA, don't see what he offers at all!

Give em time and they will come good. Fourth after 10 games, i'll take that.
