So it's now a problem then ? Why can't you be happy with him steamrolling defences and scoring important goals ? You notice more now because we are shipping a few because It's how we are set up to play, we attack !! I think you lot need to accept the way he plays ! This is yayas game and you won't change it. Accept it and stop whinging as it's how he's been since the first kick of a ball in an mcfc shirt.
Spoiled or what

He is easily my favourite player. So for me, he outclasses anyone in this league by miles. Gerrard used to be in the same class but that was a long time ago and frankly he never had the sheer flair on the break. Yaya plays the game the way I dream it. Watching him do his little dances on the break = braingasm. Watching him up the tempo by playing a regulation pass with absolute perfection, taking half a second off the time it takes for the reciever to trap and play = braingasm. Watching him turn and outpace two, three opponents is so common place I can only think people take it for granted, but for me it is like watching a pro outclassing youth players.

My favorite yaya moment of the season was the run he made for the fourth goal against Spurs.

There's been countless games where we're struggling and he's grabbed the game by it's bollocks and ran the show.
Yday's goal being just the latest example. Aguero is another who does similar.

hes a big unit and he needs rests ,if he could sit back for 5 or ten minutes then go again when hes ready rather than burning out because he is always needed as part of the midfield to protect the back four,Hamman showed how often he is bypassed then its the back four and fernadinho having to scamper about,he needs to learn to put his devastating ability into the game at the right moments and just sit back defend and let others play sometimes
Talent isn't questioned. But to suggest he's a big unit so needs lots of rest is rubbish. He's a professional athlete. When we don't have the ball he's lazy. Others get criticised for the same. I don't think many are saying get rid or replace, we just want him to apply effort when we don't have the ball.
For the record he's usually excellent in the big games. Unfortunately we need some small game players too.

Very silly post. There's nowt spoilt about owt in commenting on this. There's a lot of this sort of post in this forum. It's like people cannot talk openly about players or the manager or the club. They have to be positive only and not have any sort of balanced views on anything according to some.bobmcfc said:jaigurugoat said:bobmcfc said:Can't believe I'm seeing threads criticising Yaya and Negredo ! Yaya (FA cup winning goal scorer) scored yesterday
So Yaya should be completely immune from criticism because he has scored some important goals for us including the winner in an FA Cup Final?
I don't think anyone on this thread doubts what a fantastic footballer he is. However, it is a fact that when he plays in a 4 man midfield it leaves us exposed defensively to a point where we have either lost/drawn games we shouldn't have (eg. Villa and Southampton) or they have been much closer than they should have been.
Jesus friggin Christ !

You know it is possible to be as happy as Larry with Yaya and love him forevermore for things like the FA Cup semi and final in 2011, the performance against United in the Kompany 1-0 game and the goals at Newcastle in 2012, and be really pleased with his passing stats and goals this season...but at the same time we can see and feel open enough to comment that in a two man midfield Yaya is neither mobile enough nor works hard enough and it can have a negative effect on us. It's a good talking point.
It's happening, many can see it, it's worth commenting on, it's a good talking point; but at the same time I'm chuffed to bits with his attacking contribution and hope it continues. Don't want him dropping but I think Pellegrini needs to adapt something within our team tactically to make this defensive issue better.
Theres a very fine line between winning the title and not.

There is a very fine line also when asking players to suddenly adapt to roles they are unfamiliar with. I have already stated that this is how Yaya has played for us since day one and it only seems to be a problem now that we are playing a much more attacking style. Would you prefer he adapts a less adventurous role and and score less valuable and important goals and stick to a more defensive role or would you all be on here whinging about his lack of contribution to our attacking threat ? He's not superman and he's a big unit that finds it hard to twist and turn and get about like some of our other players who's role is to defend.
I wish and I'm sure he wishes he could get about the pitch more but the sad fact is that milk could turn faster than our Yaya and his attributes are best suited to powering forward and bullying defenses while our more mobile players get into tight spaces.
He is a fantastic free kick taker, uses strength to bully his way up the pitch, great at passing and can score from very difficult angles ! Why on earth would you want to change him when we have the most gifted and unique midfielder anyone could hope to have ?
But all I hear is the skull numbing cries that he doesn't track back...
Sigh and lol at the same time
Haman comments on MOTD were pretty bang on as far as I am concerned however put a 2 man midfield against a 3 man midfield using players of equal quality the 3 man will always win
Yaya has been given far far more license to attack then he ever did under Mancini

Every single player has defensive reponsibilties in every second of the game the opposition has the ball, that even includes strikers. Yaya has actually put in good defensive performances in his time with us, many of them. The 1-0 Kompany header derby was his best, he was a monster when United had the ball that day. He does possess a defensive game. He chooses not to bother with it quite a lot though. Chelsea away this season was his most recent good defensive performance. We played 5 in midfield that day. Even at Villa he was everywhere in the first half, winning everything, then sacked it off in the second half - completely went missing.bobmcfc said:KippaxCitizen said:Very silly post.

I wouldn't want Yaya to adapt his game, he doesn't need to. He can work hard defensively and still have the same contribution going forward. It's not that he doesn't track back, he does, he's very often on the edge of our box. It's just that sometimes he's just a body there rather than a player defending. He's been a player defending though and there are numerous examples of him doing it and playing well going forward too. Also it doesn't have to be Yaya that changes - I don't want him to change - he can play exactly as he has been and it can be Pellegrini that changes something. He did so in the Chelsea away game, funnily did so at München when Yaya didn't play but it would have suited him. Away from home especially, when the opposition are more adventurous, I think it would be wiser (not every game, just some, but more than we have done) to play 5 in midified.
