Thought he was excellent once Barry came on for Johnson. He seems to be more suited to an advanced midfield role rather than as a defensive midfielder as he doesn't really make tackles or interceptions. Once he started going on those barnstorming runs he was unstoppable and a joy to behold. His final ball could sometimes be better and his finishing is wayward but he drove the team forwards with some of those runs. Well done

He can keep the ball away from 3 opposition players with ease and go from 0-60 faster than any other city player

He's brilliant going forward and it seems silly to play him in a defensive role when his abilities clearly don't lie there. One of the best in a one on one situation with a defender due to his sheer pace and strength. Not many players could of lest Vidic for dead like he did last season in the FA Cup.

If we're going to play with Yaya Toure in the team then he has to play in an advanced midfield position. He clearly cannot perform the defensive midfield role as well as players like Barry and De Jong and should not be asked to play that role

Interesting fact. YaYa Toure and Frank Lampard are two of the heaviest midfield players in Premier LEague.

Never criticise a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.
That way when you do criticise him you'll be a mile away.
And you'll have his shoes.

Are u guys fucking insane? Yaya Toure is the Xavi of City. He is head of the premier league in passes completed and passes per game. U guys need to check some stats out before you come at Yaya like that. He is a legend in the making. One of the best player on our roster.
