It can't be cultural or adapting the league: I am not having it that footballers in Brazil or Portugal don't make runs at set pieces.
So why is it happening?
As it was the centre forward, it won't have been 'his man'. Someone went missing.
At Everton it was his man.
edit: Or was it Fernandinho's? They look the same on a four-inch square Joan.
Who were the centre-halves marking? Kompany appeared to be marking Mertesacker. Where was Demichelis?
We miss Dzeko in these situations, that is for sure.
Racist. It was Fernandinho that was supposed to be marking Naismith against Everton. Charlie Nicholas couldn't tell them apart when Fernandinho scored against Everton and later apologised for it.
I remember getting security to drag a customer out of the Casino once ,he was sitting on a roulette table with a red shirt on so I told security, its the cunt with a red shirt on.When they dragged him off the table he was going fucking ape ,bawling shouting and screaming and it was at that point that I realized it was the wrong cunt, as the real culprit with another red shirt on was on another table.
At the end of the day both were kicked out , the way I looked at it ,was that eventually, the other cunt was bound to be found guilty of something that warranted being kicked out....and anyone wearing a red shirt is fair game for being kicked out in my book.
I'm racist to anyone wearing red.

It is absolutely not a good point. We have Yaya Toure, a man who has the passing/controlling ability of Xabi Alonso but also offers much more offensively. Most people don't know how lucky they are to have this incredible player in the side.

sorry but Yaya doesn't like to play deep, we need someone who will and can pass. and thats not Yaya or Fernando.

Communication is a big part of the game and watching many of the City TV articles/shows, he cannot say anything in English yet. Once he starts to grasp that, he will automatically become a better player. Also a new league and probably the most physical and fastest league in the world to come to terms with, it will take time. I have seen enough of him to lay off him and give him time.
I dont understand why everyone expects immediate success, players are human FFS, they might be doing something they love but they are also having to adapt to a whole different culture, language and type of game play. When a new player arrives, they are not going to be a 8 or 9/10 every game, they will take time to adapt and adjust, any "extreme" negativity is just silly.

Six months of an English course he should be able to say pass,shoot,tackle,man on FFS.

They were all having a poor game.
It's just weird how some players get shit for it & others don't.

Agreed, some players seem to be above criticism (Zaba, Silva and Kun)

He doesn't play deep? I must be watching a different Yaya.
