I think with Yaya it's more a case of him being great, but not quite as great as many thought. He's great in the premier league in a strong City side where he can act the bully, but against world class opposition he struggles just as much as his teammates.

Consistently one of our best players, instrumental in us winning the league last year. Doesn't play well against Barca and "might be best if he moved on". Are you for real? Have you seen the stats of our results without Yaya in the team this year?

He needs to be consistent year on year... That's what he is paid for. He looks like a player who wants to move on. Saturday against Burnley he was brutal..tonight another Walkabout. the rest of team carrying him since African Cup. I can't stand to see the indifference he is showing these days. He should either buck up or shift out....

Bring on Jack Byrne instead.. At least he will give 100%

Saturday against Burnley the whole team were brutal. Same with tonight apart from Joe Hart. Yet Yaya is getting all the slack for it.

Tevez was amazing for Juve tonight, I miss him. Himself and Aguero were a great partnership.

He was world class against Real Madrid, best player on the pitch.

Starting 11: Hart, Zab, Kompany, Mang, Clichy, Navas, Lamps, Fernando, Silva, Aguero, Bony.

Bench: Caballero, Demi, Dzeko, Fernandinho, Jovetic, Milner, Sagna

No idea if Yaya is injured but that's a pretty weak midfield. Really need the 3 points or we could be embroiled in a battle for the top 4. Pulis will be out for a 0-0.

Talib Fiasco · 21-03-2015 01:23PM

Silva is going to be crucial today

Lukker- · 21-03-2015 01:24PM

Looks like Yaya's time at City is coming to an end.

Yaya is injured, but I'd say he's definitely winding down now for the season so prob no bad thing he's missing..

That midfield though is slower than mass. Concerning.

He's definitely gone in the summer I'd say, whole team needs a revamp. Lovely memories with this set of players all the same.

Looks like the ref has sent the wrong man off in the West Brom game.

West Brom down to 10 men already.

This type of thing is happening way too often for a professional sport!

Ref shouldn't see another Premier League game this season. Completely unacceptable.

If it was the Macauley foul (the second one) then it should have been a penalty as well.

Agent Coulson · 21-03-2015 02:04PM

The red card will be given for a foul after the the ref blew his whistle.

That will be how it's explained anyway would be my guess.

So free kick for the first foul outside the box play stopped.

Red card for second tackle inside the box red card after play is stopped.

Darkglasses · 21-03-2015 02:11PM

Good goal by Bony

Edit - Not sure who that was playing him onside? Not his finest moment

stiffler123 · 21-03-2015 02:12PM

The Bony has landed.

Talib Fiasco · 21-03-2015 02:15PM

Glad to see that. Was starting to think it was another one of those days

CSF · 21-03-2015 02:25PM

This is a dire watch. As much as I admire what Pulis can do his teams are unwatchable.

Talib Fiasco · 21-03-2015 02:27PM

That should be it.

Harry Palmr · 21-03-2015 02:32PM

Typical you hope a well drilled Pulis side could do something but they decide to be Fulham for the day.

80% Ball Possession 20%
24 Goal Attempts 0
7 Shots on Goal 0
7 Shots off Goal 0
10 Blocked Shots 0

Johner · 21-03-2015 02:37PM

Going down to 10 men after 90 seconds doesn't help.

The game was over after 2 minutes, no point analysing performances.

Harry Palmr · 21-03-2015 03:32PM

Billion dollar club and no running water at the Etihad today.

Suppose we can blame that on yaya Aswell.

Darkglasses · 31-03-2015 10:57PM

Interesting tweet - our defence is slightly thriftier than last year.

the whole year inn · 06-04-2015 10:58AM

I know there's no easy games but we should win tonight easy enough.They have a full squad at his disposable , fully rested players, QPR only played 2 days ago.
I think my self if QPR come to play they get thrashed, there only chance if they play for a draw.

This would all be very relevant if we were actually playing QPR.

Personally I can see tonight away to Palace as another banana skin, half the team won't be up for the grafting needed in fixtures like this.

Had QPR on the brain with the fantasy football.
My point still stands tho.

How often do you see a team play on Monday when they played on Saturday though? Once you wrote that, it should have been a massive clue that something was wrong.... :P
