Yaya

[OB1]

Miles better with toure as sadly merlin isn't a tenth of the player he was this season.hes turned into a shit Harry Potter!:))

Yaya has peaked as a player and Dave's injury probably means he has, which has given City a problem because we have been so reliant on both of them. It is an unpopular opinion though that I hold, which is Yaya has been and remains the more important player of the two. Two players I hasten to add that stand with Sergio and The King as City's best players in my lifetime.

The fact that people fail to see this is a complete and utter mystery to me.

Me too.

6 months ago i would have disagreed completely but now, not.

Yaya is a huge miss to this side right now whilst Dave is almost a passenger.

It's shocking that we have failed to plan for this eventually, instead relying on hope that they would just continue to come up with the goods with little thought into what we would do if they didn't.

We have spent a lot of money in the last two years and not very wisely.

Spent around 80 million on two dodgy centre backs without finding a replacement to one of the best central midfielders to ever play in the prem. Now yaya has declined, all the over clubs are on a level playing field to us, our midfield looks ordinary. I think we've been unlucky with injuries in the attacking midfield area so I don't think we can really criticise the club for not replacing silva.

I think we have planned mate and the plan has always been Pogba.

It didnt happen last year but im hopeful it will this to coincide with pep arriving.

Had pep arrived 3 years agao, i will wager we would have seen a very different squad to what we have now.

Probably. I still think more thought should have gone into it.

So do I in hindsight.

I know he hates Toure, but surely to God he's not that fucking dense that he'd genuinely pick Delph ahead of Toure?

Is there any Leicester or spurs midfielder you would pick ahead of yaya?
However, both teams would play off the park a two man midfield of yaya + another.

The question is not yaya or delph, because they offer different, complementary skills.
The real question is when playing hard pressing teams why don't we support yaya with two hard workings water carriers (such as Delph) so that he isn't exposed.

 

[Blue Hefner]

Pelligrini is grossly incompetent and has hung Yaya out to dry over the last 2 seasons with team selection and 'tactics'.

I'd keep Yaya for one more year(if he wants to stay) and as he still has a lot to offer. As good as Fernandinho is, he's not really a replacement and Delph and Fernando are not up to it, certainly under this manager who seemingly doesn't play to players strengths
