Wondered how long it would take for Yaya to become the scapegoat.
His antics in the summer have unfortunately removed the slack he should get after a poor,by his standards ,game.
A collectively bad performance today.

He was no worse or better than any other player today.

He got a lot of slack from us over the years because of how good we know he can be at his best.
He's lost that grace now, for me. When he's shit, I'll call him shit from now on.
Today he was bossed by N'Zonze at times. He was outworked all game by him. He was on his arse too much, moaning at the officials too much, jogging too much, taking too many touches of the ball slowing the whole play down too much...
Needs to be better...and will be...but shite today.

No mention of Kompany backing off for the goal ?
Kompany who was still in the opposition box?
He was awful today, he gets slack for his ability to change the game with moments of magic, and rightly so, but when he's as poor as that he should be called out for it without people clamouring to defend him for what he's capable of.

scapegoat? no way, not the scapegoat, he was one of our better players, but this is a Ya Ya thread so the apparent or perceived shortcomings to his particular performance come on the Ya Ya thread, while the bad performance of another player goes on their thread.
don't try to make criticism of Ya Ya into something like a witch hunt, it's not, just discussing his game today.

There was slight contact but he made a meal of it. No way Mason would call that.

I think he's had a rough start to the season, he looks a bit sluggish. whilst keeping possession well enough, none of it has been particularly dangerous possession. If there are any fitness worries, that would be disappointing, given the stage of the season.
Anyway, i think Ya Ya go selfish today. When losing at home to Stoke around the 60 min mark, you need your big boys to stand up and say 'f**k this, we're not losing this one'. Ya Ya is not the only one to blame, but there was no urgency or tempo. And from 80 mins, he tried roughly 5 ridiculously difficult eye-of-the-needle passes, none of which came off, when i think he should have been concentrating on getting attacks moving and playing in simple balls.
he, and plenty others, need to realise the season has started. poor tempo!
And when they do come off, we all have multiple orgasms. Eye-of-the-needle passes are a City trademark and a Yaya/Merlin/Nasri trademark in particular.
I see no reason to single Yaya out. None of the creative stuff worked today.
As usual he made a lot of passes and also got into some good situations and was a bit unlucky with a couple. But he picked passes at wrong times, does not look fit to me and didn't dominate as we needed.
However he was not the only one

I thought it was an early days throwback today. Remember that? He looked almost disinterested sometimes, got a lot of stick on here, and at the ground? Tried stuff, couldnt make it come off? Then with time showed his capabilities over the subsequent seasons, but occasionally showed that he still has a bad game now and then. I thought a lot of his forward play was ponderous and a bit hopeful to say the least, but plenty of his team mates were poor too.
The stuff that happened in the Summer, if nowt else, mean there's currently a question mark over his dedication to the cause for the time being, so he needs better performances sooner rather than later, imo.

He was our best player by a street today. He wasn't up to his high standards but was still far better than the rest. When we went a goal down he was the only one trying to get us going.

Glad someone else thinks the same....Can't believe the shite he's getting tonight.

mcfcstu said:When did we sell Yaya and Nasri ?? If we haven't we may as well had neither have turned up in the first 3 games this season.
What the fuck are you on about?
Yaya made 103 passes today and had 6 shots.
Nasri has made more key passes than any other City player so far this season.
Well those stats mask a way below par performance from him. He was slow in getting his passes away, gave needless free kicks away because he couldn't be arsed running with his man and he allowed Stoke way too much room on the ball. He should have scored with at least one of his 6 shots as well, especially his effort that hit the bar in the first half after great work from Aguero and Silva.OB1 said:mcfcstu said:When did we sell Yaya and Nasri ??

Does'nt make you a top player just because you can pass a ball. A top player also helps out with all the dirty work and does'nt go missing like these 2 have done so far.Pablo1 said:Well those stats mask a way below par performance from him.
