Yaya Toure

[dref619]

yaya was the best man in that field, mate, yaya was the worst man on the pitch by a country mile, tonight his touch was shite, he didnt track back, got caught in possession, fucking utter garbage tonight he was

hes on fucking 200k a week!!! And your telling me it was because his fitness levels aren't good enough to play 2 games in 4 days. Behave!!

That shouldn't matter either really. You've got De Jong on less than half that and he still puts a shift in for team every single game he's called upon.

I'm sick of Yaya Toure and I hope Mancini has the balls to drop him and teach him a lesson. No work rate at all. He should be picking the ball up off the defence, knocking a ball and moving again. Picking it up again and playing another pass yet he occasionally makes a decent run past someone then strolls back. They played 4-5-1 tonight so there's no room for one of the centre mids to be lazy and slack off. Get into them and give them no time on the ball.

well said

I think some people are clouded by the 2 or 3 fruitless runs he made. He was constantly out of position on defence, leaving Barry and Nige struggling. His attempts to get back made Micah look like Usain Bolt.

Tevez was doing the work of 2 men, as it appeared Yaya was the advanced midfielder but offered very little. I really want him to come good, but 12 games in is a substantial part of the season, he needs to show his worth.

Spot on!!

A couple of decent runs doesn't make a good performance. Without the ball he is useless and doesn't dominate the midfield as much as he should.

He was by far the best of that midfield trio tonight. Milner was utter dog-shite for 89 minutes and Barry is not a player for chasing a game.

Milner was off well before 89 minutes mate

And Milner played on the wing..

Three or four times Yaya Toure ran up the pitch, lost the ball, fell on his arse and took a slow stroll back. Ridiculous.

 

[JoeMercer'sWay]

the team was to blame for that poor attacking performance, not just Yaya Toure, in fact he did more than most with his runs that ended up with him surrounded by 5 united players kicking him until he lost the ball as nobody could be fucking arsed to support him.

United always turned, passed between the lines, had a guy within 5/10 yards, the 2nd half we were cack, 20 yards apart, no support whatsoever for anybody in attack till half hearted efforts in the last 20 mins, appalling 2bh.

Relieved to get a point, thankfully United were just as cack, though they passed the ball a lot better and got stuck in a lot more.

It's wrong for any player to have an automatic place in the team that they have not earned. Toure has an automatic place right now, and it's clearly nothing to do with form. he should be dropped until he earns his stripes in this team, let him come off the bench for the last 15 mins and show he warrants a starting berth.

I don't really care what he done before at any of his clubs, right now he is being asked to play as the most advanced central midfielder of a three, and he is a square peg in a round hole in that position. For me he has deep-lying midfielder written all over him, a kind-of deluxe-water-carrier, he should be competing with Nige and Barry for a spot. Milner or Silva can carry that central berth that appears to be his right now.

And another thing whilst I am ranting, looking at the table right now, a GD of +5 is nowhere near what is required, continue at this rate and we won't rise above 4th this season. It needs addressed, be it formation or the people in it.

2nd Paragraph, hits nail on head for me.....

"Fruitless runs"??

If, by that, you mean there was nobody up with him to pass to, when he got to their box, then fair enough...

So why? when everyone else knows that aint his job?

 

[ultimateharold]

On at least 2 there was, he didn't see it.

But thats beside the point, the amount of times the rags strolled past him was unforgivable.

 

[Carl_Man_City]

I think some people are missing the point. Were nto blaming him for our poor attacking displaye were blaming him for his pathetic work rate
