What Does Yaya Toure Actually Do?

[Rag_hater]

I wonder if the experts that spotted Yaya was a lazy shit can explain that why well before Xmas he is putting in some match winning performances like he did last season.
I wonder if seeing it for the second time is more convincing than seeing it once,maybe him doing it again makes it less doubtful as to whether it was a fluke.
Him doing it again what does that suggest?

Current debate on radio5live that Yaya is player of the season and not Silva - they talk about his ability to play in a number of positions, his ability to score goals when it matters (villarreal, fa cup semi & final, yesterday against qpr)

I don't think he can play a variety of positions (not at the highest standard anyway). I think he's a world class midfield player who helps in attack & defence. As a specialist defensive mid he's unreliable, as a centre back he's unreliable, as a support striker he's good but not great. He's a general all rounder, not a specialist.

When allowed to roam around the midfield doing a bit of attacking a bit of defending & a bit of linking up play, he's world class.

He would have my vote if I could figure out how to do it.

Quite a few commentators (Sky, Setanta, MOTD) have been praising Yaya recently as irreplaceable. One of them is the horrible MOTD 3 on BBC's website (besides all the rest of their BS on the clip, they got one good comments in about Yaya). I think the above article is spot on too.

Some of the opinions argued relentlessly earlier in this thread will forever make my head spin

Yaya wins us games (FA Cup Semi, Final, Villarreal, QPR). I think he's an integral part of the team. Great energy, hard to push off the ball. I'm quite shocked any City fan doubts his ability but each to their own. I hope stays for many years to come.
