Yaya hasn't lost form and he isn't getting too old. He is a colossus in our midfield, hence a colossus in every game he plays. He's always available despite being man marked most games. Having some opposition player snapping at his heels never fazes him. He takes the ball despite this and always finds a blue shirt with his passes. He dictates the play. We are a poorer team without him. He is the African player of the year for a reason. Everyone would want him. Did I mention he's managed to get into double figures with all his goals this year? Appreciate what he does. It is truly skillfull and beautiful to watch.

I wouldn't 'drop him' as such but I defo think he needs a rest for whatever reason and I'd save him for the swansea game if possible

YaYa is the man!

Speaking to mates who are fans of many other clubs ( WBA, villa, Liverpool, Everton, them, Blackburn, plus countless others) they see what I see, a colossus who scares the shit out of the opposition

You see it on the tunnel cam. Lining up opposite him the opposition must think they're in for a tough, nightmare of a game
Glad he's on our side rather than up against him

Love YaYa!!!!

Yaya's position is a cam in reality were he is world class, the problem is him playing as a cm alongside fernadinho and not intercepting balls or tackling opposition players

 

[Gabriel]

Only player, I believe, who has started every league game, so whenever we can rest him the better.

 

[Sabbs flying foot]

Take him out of the team, and we miss him.simple fact.
Get behind him.

 

[Ethan23]

Just shows how vital he is... Couldnt imagine him getting an injury and missing say 3 months. World class player

 

[pete1970]

Yes he's vital to our success however he's only human does need a rest it worked today,but just going off topic I'd rather have rodwell over Garcia any time

He can attack. Everyone agrees. The problem is that he can't defend. Maybe he should not be playing alongside Fernandinho. Maybe he should be playing behind the striker.
