I think you're struggling with the fact he isn't infallible and is prone to bad games and runs of form, like most players. It doesn't make you a crap blue or a traitor to admit that, despite what half this forum would tell you.

Problem is You are basing you views on him as if he is a world class player

Maybe lower your expectations of him and the judge him

I guess pointless as your mind is made up over him

like you, i feel his skills are better suited playing the box to box midfielder as it provides him some s[ace to make the marauding runs he excels at. The only quibble i have with him assuming that role, is that he seems to be lax on the defensive duties. If he is able to rectify those issues i feel he would be in a better position to realize his potential.

He'll never sort that out. It's not in him. He's not an aggressive lad.

It's why I keep on saying he's destined for a CL team that has quality all over the pitch and who tend to not obsess about doubling up with two destroyers in CM.

so do you think our current squad is capable of supporting an extravagant player of his ilk and who would consider a comparable player on a CL team?

Depends how adventurous the manager wants to be. Against lesser opposition why not play one out and out holding player?

Yaya Toure.

Well let's hope he puts in a top performance tonight because

1. He could do with it
2. We desperately need it
