I genuinely don't get it. I do get that he has as world class 10 minutes in him. I do get this has on occasions got us out of a hole. I do get in about 6 games a season he it's outstanding and runs the game.
In the other 40 odd games he offers nothing above a decent midfielder level. With the added extra off betting a defensive liability all too often.
I know many will disagree.
In a 4 man midfield he's exposed. He looked better when one of 3 in centre midfield.
I'm not saying he's rubbish. I'm not saying get rid. Hand in heart, lose a striker and play Milner to get the best out of him, or drop him to come on in the second half. Strikers are out of form anyway, May as well play 1 out of former rather than 2.
We won't miss him when he's gone, we'll adapt and get players who better suit the system. The holistic system. We will buy players who fit the team in future, yaya doesn't really fit the one we have.
And for the last time, I'm not saying he's rubbish, brought much happiness...
