peak Yaya Toure is the best and most complete mid ive seen in the prem, coming from a united fan.

Yaya was unbelievable, im an Arsenal fan and I said before he joined Barca not getting Yaya when we had the chance was a mistake, I just had a feeling about him

Olympiakos fan here. Yaya has a special place in our hearts. Imagine that one first season here he outplayed Rivaldo who was declining but still was the best player in the league by far..

I've said this so many times and because the media bias says David Silva and KDB are better most sheep believe what they are told. Yaya Toure is the best player Manchester City ever had. If you watch all the games back to back that he played in for us, and count every time he lost the ball, KDB loses the ball more in one game than Yaya did in his Man City career. People reading this will scoff until they watch him without putting that rubbish about him being lazy in their head. He probably lost the ball in single figures throughout his City career. No team tried to press him in City's half of the pitch as it was a waste of time. Wait for him to pass the ball then press who he passed it to. The only time I saw a press on him was Liverpool in the Carling Cup final. Even then he had four players on him physically dragging him down and he still managed to toe poke it to a City player and take out the four Liverpool players. Fans don't show the appreciation he deserved but professionals all know. KDB, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, ask any of them off the air and they will wax lyrical about Yaya.

Rivaldo 2005 was 33 years old but he dominated easily the Greek League. And Yaya managed to outshadow him. That was a crazy season to watch.

Yaya Toure was that player for City that is almost impossible to shut him down. You can't press him because he'll just overwhelm you with his strength even if you gang up on him and he can carry a ball from deep into goal by either setting up Aguero, Dzeko, Tevez and Balotelli to score or he'll score himself. Yes everyone talks about De Bruyne and David Silva as the greatest players to play for Manchester City but hardly anyone gives Yaya Toure the respect he earned by helping City from mid table mediocrity to challenging with the elites in every competition. Yaya Toure laid the foundation of success for City and I as a Manchester United fan acknowledge Yaya Toure.

Yaya Touré was a complete and versatile midfielder. All of his wisdom came from Barcelona. When he played as a central defensive midfielder behind Xavi and Iniesta, it's obvious that he mastered his position. He knew what to do, think and take action. He is, in my opinion, one of the most underrated midfielders of this era.

I remember seeing this dude in Barcelona, the field seemed small to him... Other players struggling to run in the wing, Yaya make many grown man look like children! Barcelona with Yaya was the best team i have ever seen in football. After he noticed it, Yaya was only having fun, any game was a playground for him, in any other club. They scared every team!!!! And i believe sometimes they didnt give 100% on games, they were just having fun, like brasilian kids in the beach! Legend Toure. Is going to be hard to find someone to replace such a remarkable phisic and so intelligent playmaker that won so many air duels and i really have no words to describe how complete this Sir was!

Love your content. If Yaya Toure was French, he'd have a Ballon D'or

I always wanted Yaya in the team I support. He is a legend in every aspect. Apart from his agent, that guy is a piece of work!

Most Amazing is on top of all of that in 2014 in the PL he made both the most overall passes by far & had the highest pass completion % of all. Absolute Legend!!

Manchester united fans know His strength and ability He broke my heart so many times Great player

There was only one Yaya Touré. Player of his breed doesn't exist again.

Yaya Toure.... i still rate him as one of the best box to box midfielders. He was amazing. He was magic.. and it was just awesome watching him. I loved the guy

Yaya Toure made Manchester City

Pep really isn't beating the allegations

Yaya Toure is surely (on of) the best Mitfielder ever. Even Guardiola couldn't win the Sextuple without hilft, wehren he played as a defender!

what a special friendship. what kind of a favour makes a human being this loyal.

The title should be how an agent partially ruined and changed the fate of one of the greatest midfielder

Please tell us the football story of Taye Taiwo, a left-back legend of Nigeria aswell who played most of his career at Marseille, AC Milan, QPR, etc... 🇳🇬

The cake situation is something people over look too. My work gave me a birthday cake which shows how much they appreciate me, it’s something small but those details matter. He felt not wanted which is a damn shame, such a great player that deserves everyone love

Yaya Toure was the purchase that convinced me that Manchester City really meant business after the takeover. I couldn't believe Barca sold him and the relative silence around the sale surprised me. And Toure was even better in England than I thought he would be. Absolutely amazing footballer.

Best football KZfaqr rn

He's the best ball carrier in history

I've been a city fan since 2010 and Yaya is my favorite player from City, obviously with Kompany and Aguero. But people don't understand how amazing Yaya was. Criminally underrated throughout his career and since his retirement is basically shoved under the carpet other than the occasional reel. People scoff when I say he's better than rodri and kdb but they just show me how little they know about my club. Because Yaya is irreplaceable.

Wow. Thanks for this videos. I was searching through your channel yesterday for toure and you release a video today. Thanks I'm really grateful.

This video made me emotional, this is truly a tribute. Bless your heart

Toure could do it all, through balls, dribbling, penalties, free kicks, passing, shooting, defending There won’t be a player like Yaya in the Prem again

Yaya Toure is the most complete player EPL ever saw! A Defender, Striker, Midfielder. Dribbler, passer, Tackler! Better than KDB and Silva combined

I am fortunate to have watch Yaya Touré in the stadium (2014 WC), this man is a hell of an underrated guy, nobody seems to remember him, he is overshadowed by Pep Guardiola, as his last years in City were a shame, but this man could do anything in the midfield, defend, attack, pass, EVERYTHING! Every team has got a box to box midfielder, this man did that 10 years later, when it was isn't the thing that is today

NICE ENDING. keep making these amazing videos.

I love these videos yho... You're doing an excellent job... Keep it up

Yaya is one of my favorite players of all time. A versatile, strong, and quality player build like a truck with a canon for a right foot. Busquets was all brain. If he had had at least half of the speed and overall physicality that Yaya had in his prime, he would have been one of the best players ever.

As a United fan, I watched Yaya Toure at Man City.. Back then he was the one we all feared not KDB or Silva.. Guy was a beast.

Wow what a beast ❤ Liverpool fan here , glad I seen you in the prem ❤

Yaya was just beyond incredible!

I remember that season, I don’t the stats, but he was on fire from the free kick spot. He never even missed from free kicks 30 yards out.

your stories are amazing,,,,,, over one year now i watched all your videos thanks to you i knew a lot about the pass football history more love from the Gambia

keep up the good work, great content

I love your voice and yaya was a really a underatted midfielder people just don’t give him enough credits btw please video on lahm

Barcelona fan (culer) here. I'm proud that such a player would play for my team. He was a joy to watch, and what goals, oh my! Even when after in Man City I enjoyed seeing him play. Such a shame Guardiola and him wouldn't be on the same page. One thing I liked of him is that you could see he was a nice guy. But as King Crimson would say on the track "Dinosaur" : "it doesn't pay to be too nice".

Yaya was a hell of a player. A midfielder per excellence. He was also skillful for a player with such height

Thanks for this video about my favourite player. Yaya Toure was a amazing player.

About time a Yaya video 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

underrrated for sure! I always liked him !

yaya toure put city from a avg team to a top team yaya is the 2012 pl cup like aguero but no one remember how much he was genius

hey Daily Dose of football, another great video mate enjoyed watching it, but can you talk about Gattuso’s career next? I feel like his achievements is under appreciated and is not being talked much, much love brother.

Thanks for giving YaYa much deserved recognition.

So listen to this is my favourite start to any video online right now. ✅

Yaya's agent a real one

Shout out to Kolo Toure! A selfless senior brother. Arsenal legend. Shout out to Nasri, another dangerous player! Eto and Yaya can write a book on Pepp, but it's all good.

I remember watching almost every game that season and i didnt know about this stat but it doesnt surprise me at all, he really was just that effective and what was really fascinating that almost all of these goals were important goals, he didnt score like meaningless hattrick in 5-0 win, but most of his goals were winners, just unbelievable season from him

He was a one of a kind, a beast through and through, the box to box is basically a no man's land yet when he was on the pitch it was his, and his only, idk, never seen something quite like it before or sadly after, even if we had great cdm, cm or cam he was all those in every single game, it was literally like having two extra players depending on the situation.

Thank u for this amazing vídeo, i am really glad that u talked about how underrated and mistreated Yaya was at City, he was an amazing player, one of the most complete CM'S to ever played in the prem, definitly top 10🔥

It sounds to me like an entire CAREER of Yaya being disrespected... and the only person actually having his back being the Agent. I mean we talk about 'Me First' Players and Divas... this guy switched positions to stay a Starter, did every thing asked of him, fulfilled all roles and aspects of the game requested of him, stepped up when team mates were injured, took on all responsibilities, played at a high level in Defense AND Offense. How could any Coach not fight a room full of everyone just to coach this guy?

He was truly amazing, a legend

most complete modern midfielder ive ever seen

Awesome video bro. You should make one on Paco Gento ! The only man to win 6 champions league !

One of the underrated players yet among the best midfielder the world has ever seen❤ I still hold you in high regard Yaya🎉 that my brother for the content, South Africa.

Brilliant player, brilliant documentary

Absolute legend . Drogba and Touré 💯

i have never seen this guy being pocketed like they do to others this dude was beast

This was a beast. More complete than KDB At their prime Yaya takes the cake

For me personally Yaya was my favorite player. He was the reason I became a City fan. I was probably the only person with a Yaya jersey. When I played in high school I had 42.

Yaya will always have a place in my heart as one of the best ...i get emotional when i think of the disrespect pep showed and he wasn't even half the player yaya was.

As a city fan, its sad that the club ignored his contribution to building the clubs dominance, yaya was a beast and deserves much more to recognition

One of the best box to box midfielder I ever seen…very great player

It is so unfortunate that sometime agents effect brilliant players in such a way. The thing I couldn't believe when watching Yaya in his Man City days was how influential he was on both ends of the pitch. He was a destroyer when he needed to be, he was in the right spot to intercept when he needed to be, he made the right pass when he needed to, he seemed to score when his team needed to. He was like a custom player on Fifa that you gave all 99s in the stats and played on semi-pro difficulty.

How you have 459k subs? U are amazing. You deserve 1M or more

Yaya was a beast of a player, so very criminally underrated.

I was about to comment first but I forgot that some people even have houses in your channel 🤣

Ya Ya ... Ya Ya Ya Ya... Ya Ya Ya Ya ..... Ya Ya Ya Ya TOURE !!!!

It’s actually impressive that he won the champions league as a centre back and then became a world class midfielder

being african in football despite being the strongest people is hard for you to be recognised...as a hero😢😢 so sad..i do respect yaya despite being a man united fan❤

LEGEND!!!🫡🫡🫡

and EA still refuses to give him an icon card

That one amazing season he also equaled the record for direct free kick goals in one premier league season with 4. Side note Ronaldo did 4 two seasons in a row and then Ward-Prowse also did 4 two seasons in a row.

Yaya had the best season ever for any player from the premier league in that season....greatest individual season ever second in surez

O melhor conteúdo futebolístico do youtube

He was just too perfect for that position he’ll get the job done no matter what 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 football misses him

Yaya Toure was the foundation of Man City’s recent success

Yaya's agent didn't sound that bad. He just hurt egos.

The legend

One of my favourite players of all time.....defensively and offensively excellent....powerful long shots .....excellent ball control and passing.. A giant among men......I feel so Sad on how underrated he is........why couldn't Gurdiola just get along with him😢😢😢

Finally... he deserves it the most

Yaya is the most important player in Man City’s history. I genuinely don’t think city would be where they are today without him. His agent must have been part of his problem; but Pep also has a clear history of not preferring African players.

Yaya is by far much more completed footballer, and not just that, by on the very TOP of every aspect. Nowaday people just say KDB is much better. KDB is very good dont get me wrong. Sometimes when opposition knows your tactics, it might stop you from assisting or creating chances for the goal. KDB's worst nightmare is a non-stop PRESSURE of a CDM. But Yaya, he's different. You can't press him, you can't outpaced him, you can't bid his body strength, he is so tall also which makes him a giant, good on aerial battle, and also a DEADLY long range shooter. On top of that, his Vision, Through passes, Dribbling were on TOP. KDB might be slightly better than him in term on special technique passes and vision, but that's the only thing he's better than Yaya. Meanwhile for Yaya, he has like 4 different type of playstyle he can do very well. He can be the midfield anchor, a classic 10, a dribble to open up space, and a visionary passer. Which makes him even nightmare to the opposition is that He is UNPREDICTABLE. You dont know which MODE he's turning ON. Really is a THREAT. I am Man Utd supporter since I was born. To me there was this most NIGHTMARE-ish time of RIVALRY I still remember up until these days, it was Man City. No,,,,, it was YAYA's MAN CITY.

Yaya is to me the best player our club has ever employed and we’ve since done a lot of experimenting with midfielders and wingers to replace a one in a century kinda guy. KDB is a great successor, the best possible really. but looking at Doku, and Foden, and Bobb and even Josko, whether Pep likes it or not Yaya’s fingerprints are all over the DNA of MCFC and i, as a blue, am so grateful for that.

A player who id base my whole game around. Had literally everything.

The best mid I’ve seen 🤙🏿🔥⚽️❤️

Bro, are you related to Raymar? You two sound the same man haha.

Well Gundogan enjoyed the same freedom as him for a limited time and he also enjoyed the moments. Ig its running in the city midfield dna. Takeout the main playmaker, give permission to the 2nd mid to go forward and goals will come💥

Yaya Toure is the best midfielder I've ever watched. I watched the full prime of Xavi, Iniesta, Modric, Kroos, Ozil, Fabregas. Non of them were as good as Yaya.

I loved him at barca, he was awesome

Obviously 2014 Toure was a GOAT midfielder but this is just stats being misinterpreted completely regarding their meaning. Obviously a midfielder isn’t just going to take potshots all game-he’d get sacked. Strikers miss lots of chances because it’s their job to take shots-loads of them, so only 10% or so go in. Whereas midfielders only take higher value shots on fewer occasions when they present themselves

Happy to have seen him playing in Barcelona.

One of my favourite players from DLS. Those who knew the game would know what I mean. A fantastic midfielder indeed, in game and in real life as well.

are we just gonna gloss over that Wengers glasses just teleported on his face at 3:45?

Guardiolla somehow kills careers and rules by dictatorship . What happened to Leroy Sane, Joao Cancelo, Samuel Etoo and Yaya Toure. They had to move out of Guardiolla to save their careers

Yaya was fantastic!! And that year that he got some freedom he was unstoppable and he won them the Premier league that season not a stoppage time goal by Augero ,assisted by Bellotelli and Yaya should have one the bel 'on' dor that season definitely.
