is yaya past it

[Piccsnumberoneblue]

Barry makes Yaya look like Linfors Christie.
And with the best will in the world, Barry isn't fit to lace Yaya's boots.
This isn't going to be a serious Barry better than Toure assertion now is it? Holy Moly.

[iwasthere2012]

Ha ha. I remember Barry costing us so many times in his last year, tirring to go sideways, losing the ball then desperately fouling somebody as they left him for dead.
Think FA Cup final.

That may be true and we moved Barry on because he was coming to the end of his usefulness, to us.
He still outplayed Yaya over two games and is doing a half decent job for Everton whenever I've watched them.
So you work it out.

[Piccsnumberoneblue]

Are you suggesting we let Barry go to soon?
And you still don't learn?

[iwasthere2012]

Im certainly not suggesting that.
You still don't get it, or you're just taking the piss. I don't know which.

We gave him less game time and moved him on for the exact same reason we should be doing the same with Yaya.

I don't hate Yaya. As I've said. I agree we don't have another player in the squad that can do the job he could.
But I would rather 20 minutes of Yaya at 90%, than 90 minutes of him at 20%.

Am I missing something here? Yaya was one of our better players against them last week, he was atrocious in the first leg at their place ( because he was played too high up imo ) but controlled the game against them at the Etihad.

No you aren't missing anything. Others don't want to see it.
Barry at his best has never been as good as Yaya is even now
Toure is the new scapegoat.
Even when he has played well.

yaya should have been shipped out of the club in the summer of 2014
his presence in the team / our over reliance on him is why we have stalled

[Piccsnumberoneblue]

Stalled?
Semi final of the cup.
Well placed in the league
Topped our group in Europe
In four competitions
(Even if it is tiresome)
I can think of a few teams who wouldn't mind stalling like this.

And he should be shipped out because we over rely on him? Get that great player Serg outbox The shit hot footballing wanker!

Neither of you are missing anything but I'm not making Yaya out to be a scapegoat.
Second match We had half a good game in my opinion and Yaya certainly played his part. First half we were lethargic.
As the second half went on we speeded up the attack and were robbed at the end of what would have been a deserved win.
That still doesn't conflict with my view that Yaya is slowing up and should be used more sparingly but more effectively. He's not the only one slowing up.
Silva came on as substitute for De Bruyne way beyond time IMO and helped the situation. But he himself doesn't look like he is up to speed at the moment either.

I just feel that the team should be picked and substitutions should be made on form and fitness. That goes for them all.

I think we should be looking now to a future without Yaya and probably a few more of our heroes.
I think he would be far more effective for the team at full tilt for half an hour than ambling about conserving energy for 90 minutes maybe twice a week.

It's as simple as that. There's a whole team at fault for our lethargy, it's not just him, but some on here call him a lazy cunt and they're the ones that like him.
I've never called him that and nor will I. I know his value. I just think he is not capable of giving us that standard we demand in our so called system twice a week for ninety minutes and it's not going to get any better.

And if you got out of my last contribution, that I think Barry was ever better than Yaya, then I may give up writing because I obviously can't get my argument across to you plainly enough.

we should be at least 10 points clear in the league

I agree with your point about looking to the future, the problem as I see it is that midfield should have been addressed last summer, by all accounts we tried but our failure to land our target sees us in this situation where we still rely on Yaya.

Well what a nice theory. Problem is, we don't have an alternative that's better.

An alternative individual? No.
An alternative to playing him every minute of every game no matter what, I think so.
We're now going round in circles Piccs.
You want him playing so do I, but less and more effectively.

And Leicester should be in the relegation zone. Arse should be choking, and so on and so on.

It's not that simple.

They've already done the legwork. It's Inter and he will be there this summer. He's playing like a man who's playing out his notice period. Flashes of his old self because how can he not? He's still decent. Makes the situation even more irritating.
