Yaya Toure

[Joehannes]

He has a full week off now since he is suspended against Dortmund. No tiredness excuses next Sunday.

Indeed. Also, United should be a game that suits him if he can be arsed given there deficiencies in midfield.

Our reliance on him is obvious. When his form falls apart ours suffers, as is the same with Silva.

Yaya's distribution and running is still good and he has a big influence on the game. A few wayward passes of late but Mancini won't drop him because he sees the whole picture. Whereas a lot of fans just watch the ball.

No, it really hasn't been that good, especially the latter. He's not untouchable you know, rather, he shouldn't be.

It all changed when we sold De Jong.

Yaya is now playing his role oF sorts, alongisde another defensive midfielder.(Barry, Garcia, etc)

I wonder if he's resting on his laurels.

Yes. It is good. He was playing a more defensive role today, but he bossed the central area for most of the second half.

I don't think he's hitting the heights yet, but neither is anyone else. However, look at how many times he receives a pass. He only does that because he's run to the right place.

I've made this same point a lot in the past few days, but anyway, he is to us what Rooney was to united last year. Rooney wouldn't ever get dropped and very rarely subbed despite how sloppy he was in his play throughout much of last season, and I think we're seeing a similar situation with Yaya now. At the beginning of September, Rooney was dropped and given a kick up the arse, but Ferguson could afford to do this as he had brought in RvP. Yaya needs some competition, whether that be Benat, De Rossi, whoever. We need to be able to rest him and also if in bad form, drop him.

the greatest player ever to play for Manchester City is Yaya Toure bar none .
