Yaya has been very good so far. This team is going to be for real. It will just take them some time. They took spurs out of the game that second half. 200 more passes attempted. And spurs misfired in more passed than city. That type of possession will kill off loads of results. It saved them that draw

This squad is one if the worst team ever!!!!!!
I don’t think this 11 can capable to achieve anything if Mancini exclude Robinho……

Barca kept the local guy Sergio Busquets over Yaya. If you have two evenly matched players, I think the Catalan whose father also played for Barca is going to get the edge.

Hart
Boateng- Kompany – K Toure – Kolarov
A Johnson – Y Toure- DeJong – Silva
Tevez
Balotelli

Bench – Given, Richards, Zabaleta, Barry, Milner, Robinho, Adebayor.
Tevez is a hard worker but he’s too small to work as a solo target man up front. Ade and Mario provide the necessary size to free up Tevez to create and chase. Adam Johnson is the best creator on the wing by far on this team until Silva gets up to speed in the English game.

If he was so good, why did Barca let him go and keep a kid from the reserves? Why weren’t any big teams in for him? Yaya Toure is the poor man’s Dickson Etuhu.

Darren, what are you going on about? Kolo, granted, has been generally poor for City. But why don’t you ask some Barca fans what they think of Yaya? I also remember him dominating against a certain team from Stretford in the champions league final not too long ago.

Darren…Yaya makes £100K MORE per week than Rooney??? Wow. Wayne needs to hire Yaya’s agent.

On a completely unrelated note, I think Man City has a lot of fun-to-say names on their team:
- Yaya
- Adebayor
- Boyata
- Zabeleta
- Santa Cruz

Why even bother mentioning Shawn Wright Phlops in a dream team–sub or otherwise? The only time his name should be mentioned these days is in connection with a transfer story–to parts unknown.
