Yaya

[Marvin]

Who was supporting Aguero last night. Aguero played well, but was totally isolated and frequently dropped deep to collect the ball.

This is all a knock-on effect of playing Toure. There was a time when he was able to surge up in support of the forward and create havoc in the penalty area.

He's looked knackered recently. He hasn't been able to do his pressing game, he needs a rest after the Derby.

The powers that be thought 4 central midfielders was enough in the squad for a team that often plays 3 at a time. Huge mistake, even before Delph turned out to be injury prone.

Thought YaYA had a very good game last night ,with some real driving runs.Lets hope he works on his free kicks before Sunday though

Motm last night. Just rewatched bits from last night and thought it was good that Yaya and hart were arguing.

Exactly, and Yaya's lack of energy is the biggest myth going. Rinse and repeat bullshit spouted by the same people who don't understand the system he is playing in.

The system he's playing in, the system where he's told to close down men 2 seconds after they've played the ball, that system arrrggggghhhh I get it now. My bad.

It's a knock on effect of playing a disciplined containment game, nothing to do with Toure.

That's been the biggest let down, it seems like 2013-14 was just a freak season in terms of Yaya scoring from free kicks.

Does anyone know what Hart and Yaya were actually arguing about?

You know your stuff, he hasn't a clue.

When did you last see any of our central midfielders getting into the box for a tap in from open play? We don't get central midfielders into the box enough, we don't have the energy to do it unless Fernandinho is deployed further forward. Accommodating Yaya means Dinho has to sit and hold the majority of the time.
