This isn't supposed to be a criticism, but the thing that sort of frustrates me about Yaya (or moreso the characteristics of his game) is that there seems to be no clear cut position for him. It's as if he just doesn't have a full defined role and as such we kinda have to go out of the way to accommodate him.
Does anybody else know what I mean? It's as if even though the bloke is a phenomenal player (which we all know), he kinda disrupts a potentially better balanced side.
When everything is hunky-dory and he's steamrolling the opposition, we look unstoppable & he looks unplayable. When it isn't, he's caught in no mans land and we get clearly exposed playing a midfield two, leaving Yaya copping a lot of stick for being lazy and what not as a result.
I would like to see him in a midfield 3 as some of the others have mentioned - at this time preferably alongside Nasri, whom from what we've he seen shares both a close personal and playing bond with. We've heard that Nasri's ability is underrated in deeper positions, so I'd like Pellers to put that to the test and see what comes of it.
