MOTD - Yaya Toure a liability to the team apparantly

Presumably he gave an explanation as to why he thinks that?
I've always thought he looked good but I've never analysed any of his performances. Maybe he's lazy and doesn't always track runners or something?

Probably why the Yam haven't approached him.

Yaya Toure is an exceptional player but Hamann's reasoning behind the 'liability' comment was perfectly correct. It was insightful and showed up a deficiency in the City squad.

I've not seen said programme or Hamann's comments but I watch Yaya Toure a couple of years back in a match and he was probably one of the best players I've ever seen, the guy was head and shoulders above anyone else and strolled the game, albeit it was against West Ham though lol.

Yaya Toure, alongside Fernandinho generally plays as a holding midfielder. I personally feel as though this exposes his weaknesses as he can be lazy and often doesn't track midfield runners. Whenever I've seen him lately he has been poor with the exception of the odd moment of magic, which means most people generally turn a blind eye to the overall poor performance. Fernandinho has definitely been the most efficient of the two in that role, this season.

He was also spot on when he said that the midfield, including Toure, would be more structured and disciplined during the week due to the opposition.
City are a pundits dream because let's face it, they have personnel to play any way they want to and a quality manager who can change things that aren't working.

In no way is Yaya Toure a liability. I'm sure there was a thing on SkySports news the other day about Ross Barkley, they showed he was one of the best midfielders, based on stats so far this season. Who was top? Yaya Toure. More goals. More passes. Higher pass completion rate. What a liability...
Just checked fantasy premier league.com, only Hazard and Suarez have more points than him. Must be a burden for Man City to have him.

He is pretty inconsistent though, there is games where he is awful and games where he runs the show.

Yaya Toure is the best complete midfielder playing in England IMO. Would get into a world XI.

Haven't seen MOTD yet but caught a bit of the Man City game yesterday and couldn't believe how lazy Toure was for one of the Swansea goals. He's obviously a class player but it should still be flagged up if he's not putting in the required effort.

Though I don't think it's been acceptable since Big Ron Manager got sacked for a broadcaster to say that a black player is "lazy".Last edited by lapsedhibee; 02-01-2014 at 10:00 AM.

He can come to ER and be a liability to Hibs ANYTIME.

Yaya Toure is brilliant and learnt it all fi Sol Bamba.
I'd love to frolic with both in a nice meadow on a summers day.

(Though I don't think Hamann called Toure lazy - have you just made that up?)
