Yaya Toure

[desoe]

guys, a lot of the players had misplaced passes..
no need to jump on one guy..

Yaya didn't even look like he's making an effort at least. I fancy Buscuits to start on Tuesday.

Aye. You're right. Xavi out of all the people had a 'mare compared to his usual standards, and that's just only one example. Xavi's performance, though, was due to other circumstances like tight marking, pressuring and not being able to play his usual game. Yaya on the other hand just seemed not to care.

He was probably our worst player on the pitch yesterday, save Henry.

Henry's level of sheer inability to play proper footy is not even a surprise anymore. That's the standard he has set himself this season.

At least the rest of the team tried to do something about it. You know, try to regain possession after a bad pass, or close down space, or run instead of walking, ...
The exact same thing we all go nuts about when Henry does it.


Go complain about Busquets play-acting then.

i agree with the running part..
i don't what the hell is wrong with him.
it's like he's carrying an elephant on his back..

he made good passes last night. didn't lose too many balls.
so i don't understand how he is the worst last night..

well gneg, at least yaya doesn't stop us from having a counter attack..a chance for goal.a chance for a win.

I guess you can't lose too many times the ball, if you barely touch it.

well gneg, at least yaya doesn't stop us from having a counter attack..a chance for goal.a chance for a win.

A chance for the title, a chance for ....

Once again, this should NOT be about Sergi vs. Yaya... Yaya had a very bad game and that's the bottom line, if he expects to regain his place in the starting eleven he should do better than this...

Boots are ugly though

all the new ones of that range has ugly colors except the white and blacks..
the light blueish is the worst!
i prefer when boots were just black or white..
now they look like clowns..
and there was a study done before, it says that with these colorful boots, players are more prone to injury on their knee.

Agreed, I also hate those lavender/orange ones that so many players are wearing now. The ones that Ibra and Pedro wear.

You can do bad passing even if someone finally receives them. I have three different situations in mind, that occured within a few minutes:

1. Yaya passing from the right midfield (with no one in 10m proximity to himself) to a player (busi afaik) in the center with 3 opponents close by. Totally useless pass, and the receiver couldnt do anything else than bounce it back to Yaya asap for absolutely no benefit.

2. Yaya holding on the ball for ages before finally playing the obvious pass and slowing down the attack.

3. Yaya playing a forward pass to the right wing (on pedro afaik), but unfortunatly with too much power and the wrong ankle so that Pedro had to sprint to the backline to barely get it before it crossed it, bringing him into a bad position and denying a better opportunity.

That were 3 passes that reached the player, but alle 3 were still bad.

yup those 3 were bad..
but why didn't you mention the balls that milito gifted to espanyol players?

yaya had one superb pass for alves as well..when he spotted alves running..
i think we missed someone like iniesta yesterday..some one who could keep the ball besides xavi and messi.
