Yaya Toure

Go back and watch the movement for City's second. Watch Yaya's pass to Silva that started the move.
 
Don't think you understand the game properly if you think Yaya didn't play that well. He was held back against Spurs compared to his usual role where he get's forward more. I don't think you'll see him advancing too far up the pitch as often now that we have greater attacking options.

Yaya Toure: 97 passes, 93% successful, 1 assist.....say's it all really.
 
Never seen a City player better at moving the ball on and retaining position. Time and again takes out 2 or 3 opposition players with his midfield passing game.

When it is 0 - 0 in the big games when we need a breakthrough, he engages 6th gear and runs at the opposition like a freight train until he's totally exhausted. Often results in the breakthrough we need.

4 - 0 up in the last twenty minutes and he switches off a little.

Yeah, he needs shock therapy to induce an attitude change.

100% agree. The ball from the edge of our box through their central area to Silva was a killer ball if ever I've seen one. It cut them in half and despite the distance was inch perfect.
He was also a constant out ball, and at times when we were running their side around time and time again Ya Ya was both the focal point and out ball all day. Not to mention his part in the 2nd and 3rd goal. The big fella is also on Ramadan, now over as far as we are concerned. That performance was pretty much perfect against a side that only 10 games ago we were lucky to beat. I thought at times we were breath taking. as for Ya Ya I would guess his size alone had Modric and rubbish Modric all ready beat.

Roberto Mancini: "Yaya Toure is a modern artist."

Says it all. He is a brilliant, majestic footballer who has incredible versatility - he's been good playing deep just as he was good as an attacking midfielder last season. We could even stick him in defence and he'd do well as he did in the CL final against the rags for Barca.

World class. He does have his off days and occasionally looks laboured but he is absolute quality.

Thanks. Can you please provide a link for where you got the quote from? I've been looking forever for it.
