We must see the game very differently then. I suppose it's all about opinions and mine happens to differ from the previous 2 posts

Yaya would walk into the first XI of any Premiership team. Anyone who disagrees is on acid. The man is a Rolls Royce.

He is class - end of. He ran the game at Fulham but needed more support next to him than Barry when the home team finally started to press and fill the middle of the park.

He may well be told to let men behind him put the pressure on, keeping himself free to be the main link between defensive midfield and the forwards, otherwise known as a midfielder!

Yaya's strengths are his power, passing, and fwd runs. He was played out of position at Barca.

I do know exactly why people are giving him a hard time though, he does appear to go missing after 70 mins and looks knackered.

I find him disappointing. He is a class act with a lot of attributes. However tenacity and aggression are not always two of them. He was one of several at Fulham who never put the required effort in after our second goal. Talented but often frustrating.

Sorry to bring this thread up AGAIN

But he does fuck all last night he was a fucking embarrassment, people are slating dzeko for his reaction i'm not surprised, he took dzeko but de jong on, then this lanky streak of piss went and played up front?

Bring him back in december as thats when he started playing well last year.

Rant over.

I was disappointed with the way he got his yellow card. Yes, he was frustrated and yes, the ref was a blinkered, kraut-loving cheat, but everybody else in the team was frustrated too and they were man enough not to lash out. It needs to not happen again.

Often, he just stands out there, watching the trains go by.

i think yaya is a fantastic footballer but his 'performance' last night was pitiful. he should be one of the bet centre midfielders in the world. he needs to show it.

The only player of the 11 who finished the game last night not to come over and applaud us, instead choosing to run straight down the tunnel.... Very disappointing and disrespectful.

That was bad last night, really bad.

He could with watching the video and learning something about tempo and work rate from Schweinsteiger.

He needs to be dropped now, he does nothing we might as well be playing with 10men. Give Milner a chance i know he will put in a shift.
