I am one of those who think he is a bone idle lazy arse in many games.

But by Christ when he decides to play he is just awesome, we need that side of him from now until the end of the season or we are stuffed.

He has awesome moments i games, but it's nothing likewhat it was.

We didn't fully appreciate him. But now most of you wont accept that he' gone. And it's not lazines although it does look that way
 
The difference between the two League games and the Cup Final was that the whole side physically fought Liverpool at Wembley. Have you all forgotten that? Liverpool humiliated us at home with Toure. It would have been worse had Toure played this week at Anfield.

The side was dead on its feet as it was. Put Toure in there, it would have been worse not better.

Injuries and poor team selection were also factors in the Liverpool home defeat. Yaya need to play with two other central midfielders and then he's usually excellent.

Although Yaya has taken a lot of criticism over the last year or so, IMHO he has cemented his position amongst our all time greats.

I hope the Club's or 1894's next investment in displays, pictures etc honours possibly our greatest ever player. Sir Yaya Toure!

But his legs have gone and can no longer perform to the level he once could

Yes he works better with another 2 in midfield but that is so they can be work horses for him

I think the other benefit of the 3 is the extra man to screen the defence. Yaya is not mobile enough to be the main guy doing this as shown at West Ham away. Share the workload more and Yaya still has plenty to offer, though he can no longer start every game!
 
The two most influential City players in modern times will be seen to be Tony Book for his captaincy and Yaya Toure as a force of nature.

Yaya has amazing control and vision for a big man yet when in his stride is unstoppable like a train. Lets not forget his goals. Many exquisite but also game winners when the chips were down. David Silva is a magician but everything in recent years has gone through Yaya who has shaped our play.

He is a leader on the pitch but getting older and slower. He still has a lot to offer needs other players around to step up. Yaya will go down as an all time great in the Premier League, not just at City. Too many of the City players are not even playing to their potential exposing Yayas weaknesses rather than let him strut his stuff.

Impossible to say for certain either way.

What I thought we lacked most on Wednesday night was a physical presence to make the ball stick in the attacking third, Liverpool bullied us out of possession every time we got near their goal, I think Yaya's presence would've made a difference in that regard, it would've at least meant that Can didn't have free rein to dominate that area of the pitch.
