I didn't bother to get involved in this OP at the beginning because I figured everyone would work it out in the end.

Games like yesterday and West Ham just sort of put the icing on the cake. As the last posters say, he thinks he's knackered but he isn't. As the commentator said yesterday a few minutes later he's usually leaving everyone in his wake again.

But what Yaya 'actually does' mainly is constantly moves around holding the line in front of the oppo when they have the ball. He sort of lumbers around, but always puts himself in front of them to cut out the easy balls and defend from the front(ish) (nowadays). People see him lying on the ground after one of his bursts, but the rest of the time he is in a sort of perpetual, lower-gear motion. He's also big, very tough and knows where the goal is.

People used to wonder years ago why our diddy, lightweight midfield was bossed out of a game. Doesn't happen too much nowadays.

Yaya has been knocked unjustly a lot of times this season. No doubt he will be again but for me he has been excellent this season and was awesome today.If others had been up to his standard we would have won by at least 2

Once Mancini split the three central midfielders they just couldn't play Yaya. Immense for the last hour and completely deserved the goal and MoTM.

Yaya can do what the fuck he wants from now on.

Scoring a winner in a derby earns you a place in City history but he did so much more and pressed their much vaunted midfield into insignificance in the second half

If you can get Legend Status in one match it was earnt today
