Yaya Toure

[Lemmi]

Well there isn't much recourse when you choose to be so dense.

great. density it is then.

ah yes, when all else fails out comes the agent card. quit sugar coating it. the day he leaves barca you are going to dance naked on your porch until the sun comes up.

its not a personal attack on Yaya, His agent has fucked his season up 100%, not Yayas fault but its true...

 

[ZIG-ZAG-ZIG]

Well if your coach is picking a player over you because he is Catalan/coached him earlier/lick-ass etc (delete as appropriate), then you know what? , MR AGENT, whoever you are, keep talking and if Barca dont like it, fine, sell him!! Will never just defend ANY player for the sake of it, and no-one is bigger than the club (except Messi! lol) and Yaya has bad games and, YES, i think its right to criticize him..BUT when his replacement is blatantly inferior...... no Sir, i love Barca, but if thats the way you treat certain players, although i dont want to see Yaya leave, its better for him as a MAN if he leaves, cause history has a way of showing up things that are hidden under the guise of 'criticism'. First Makelele at Madrid, then Eto'o, now this???????

Pep made a mistake in the famous swap(at least for now, it hasn't proved to be the success it promised!!) so I don't think he'd make another mistake immediately... moreover I'm mailing my avatar to him, so... yeah whatever!!

 

[barca96]

solid game..
was partly to blamet for the 1st goal though but other than that, solid!
pep is beginning to trust yaya again.
put him at cb against inter and now against tenerife.
i wonder what milito is thinking..

 

[Galning]

I was scared when he didn't stand up after that knock.

 

[Sultan]

fantastic player over all. got strength, speed, skill, just an over all great player. it would be a shame if we lost him this summer.

Uhh, that was all on Puyol

 

[Vegy]

Damm.. he might even be a better CB than Milito or Marquez.arty00231:

marquez maybe yes.but definitely not milito.
i really like the way yaya steals the ball.
he doesnt foul, doesnt slide or tackle, just steal it!

Depends, did you think Yaya was at fault for Xerez' goal two weekends ago?

 

[Cal-FCB]

Thought he had a solid game tonight. I wouldn't blame him for the first goal, Puyol's pass was hospital rather than Yaya being asleep IMO.

Yaya's ball to Cheesuz was there, Dmytro screwed it up so fault lies with Cheesuz, for me.

Puyol's ball today did not get to Yaya and was easily intercepted by Tenerife, so fault goes to Puyol, for me

what was galling about the goal today was the way he reacted to being dispossessed. he was kinda on his heels but it was also an awful pass from puyol (who was rubbish) so hard to really blame him. the fault comes from his reaction, just jogging merrily back towards the goal as xerez counter-attacked. pathetic reaction. pep clearly gave him hell at HT because second half he was reacting like lightning, closing everyone down as fast as he could.

the goal was still mostly puyol's fault (bad pass and then an awful run to the ball, completely leaving his man free to receive the ball in space) but yaya wasn't blameless.

still, a much better showing from the big man. although tbh if he has a future at barca it's probably as a CB, lol.
