yaya.....

[Bpughh]

Pointless substitution

lol. he did everything right IMO. perfect sub and perfect performance

 

[jared]

Fuck the booking its about time we got a bit dirty with our tactics. No doubt Blatter and Platini will overturn it but what really fucked me off was the Tyler and Quinn continually going on about it before he even committed it and then afterwards followed up by the Sky after match analysis banging on about it with Shay Given. FFS ever since I was a lad and listened to commentary of British teams in Europe the commentators have been Xenephobic on their outlook and bias towards the home teams but where City are concerned they are nothing short of a fucking disgrace with their anti Cityphobia. C***s the lot of them.

I couldn't believe the way they kept on harping on that Yaya yellow card business. And this began way before he committed the foul. It started the moment he was subbed on the pitch. They immediately pounced on that fact like they came well prepared before the match waiting to use it when opportunity arose

If UEFA didn't have its silly little rules than such underhand tactics would not be needed.

I don't blame the boss for instructing him to take the booking.

agreed i was laughing really hard. i loved the whole "but it was my first foul" schtick he gave the ref too :)

Clueless

massive over the top tackle that was not needed in 89th min game already won.
in my opinion def deliberate but maybe tactical who knows

Are you actually being serious ? I thought you were somehow being ironic.
Of course it was fucking deliberate, he's now cleared of yellow cards and can play in the knockout stages without risk of getting a ban.

Think the word your looking for is sarcastic? and yes I was.

some posts just come over all wrong, maybe I should have added a :)

oh and no I don't think he chickened out I just couldn't be arsed replying in depth to the "chickened out" post

Surprised nobody's mentioned this yet. Straight down the tunnel after being subbed... injury or strop?

Hardly. Considering he plays the full 90mins on a regular basis I see no difference between playing 80mins, then spending 10mins on the bench with team-mates before relieving himself.

 

[totalfootball]

he was probably angry that he was getting subbed.

If that's the case then this will be the newspaper headlines tomorrow to detract from the rags 2nd consecutive home defeat.

His substitution should have happened 80 minutes earlier. Just like last season at Southampton he was garbage. Lots of arm waving and moaning, but like when we meet any side who can pass the ball on the ground and work harder than us, Yaya is totally ineffective.

Doesn't and never will work hard enough aside from 1 or 2 choice games per season.

if toure put in some effort we couldve won the game.

it was like we played with 10 men today.

toure's best days are behind him. now is the time for him to join the likes of joe hart on the bench.

Oh you.

If I could post an ironic picture, I would.

Hmmm.

I think you should go further and either put him up for a free transfer or maybe just shoot him.

he was fooking shit today

For about the 12th time this season. His goals are about the only thing that have been making him look like a half ok footballer instead of Javi Garcia without legs.

Just amazing. I can't disagree that he had a poor game today.He wasn't alone either and I would agree that his best position is not and never has been as a holding midfield player but this overreaction is a nonsense.

Only his goals!! What about that great break and assist for Kun's goal v Spurs and similar for Nasri's goal v Swansea.He still helps us massively dominate games and makes things happen.Just not today.

I would expect every team in the premiership and loads outside England would love to have Yaya.

Indeed but why would we want Yaya when we could have Milner running round like a headless chicken doing fuck all but run around
