Yaya Toure was 100% awful and useless right up until the goal. He was a midfield liability that was manoeuvred around like a rock by Kyiv. He showed zero will in all of his challenges, which were mainly just sticking out a leg. He played the entire first half as a number 10 and created nothing. The two defensive mids for City, Fernando and Fernandinho were cleaning up on his defensive responsibilities all game long.

Turned out that I totally bummed this writing by trying to write it in 30 minutes lol.
@SunFlash Right, Fernando! Thank you.
He had a good game, how could I not mention him before?
This is very interesting by the way:

@SunFlash No problem bro. When I said I "bummed the writing" I meant like repeated words and all that not the actual football talk. Feel free to share your opinions, if you feel like Toure didn't play that good say it. Don't hold back. That's not being harsh on me :)
Toure had a foul in like the first ten minutes so not all his challenges showed zero will, he had the most shots on goal and was second in passes completed. Not a bad game :)

Just read the article, all though a bit late it's always funny to read what you write onze. I agree with everything. I don't know why sun didn't agree on Toures performance because I found him to be great in this game. He didn't miss a single pass and had at least 3 shots on goal for what I can remember. Probably MOFM for me. Will be interesting to see how far City makes it in the CL this year as they're surely gaining their form back sooner rather than later. EPL surely needs the coefficient points that a city on the later stages would give.

Some commentator was called racist because he couldn't recognize these 2 few times in the game.....
I can't blame the commentator.

@Decentk Indeed, I alway thought those two were very similar.
In yaya toure defense, I don't feel like he can be put in charge of any defending, his true skill lie in attack but even then, he is not consistent enough to my taste.

Oh my goal, I only have 30 minutes to write this, my next class starts at five. I don’t even get a full half. No warm up, let’s get going.
Manchester City defeated Dynamo Kyiv 3-1 in the first leg of the round 16 of the UEFA Champions League Wednesday at NSC Olimpiyskiy.
Sergio Aguero opened the scoring for City in the 15th minute. The Argentine forward struck the ball in the corner of the net after Yaya Toure headed down David Silva’s corner kick.
Manuel Pellegrini’s side doubled their lead 10 minutes after the half hour mark as Aguero released Raheem Sterling with a marvelous backheel, the English midfielder then hit a pinpoint low-cross to Silva. Silva scored but he shot the ball so high in the net (from inside the six-yard box!) that the whole stadium thought he was going to miss. Pellegrini is going to have a few words with him for that.
Vitaly Buialskyi cut the lead for the Ukranian side in the 59th minute with a sweet volley. But the goal of the match wasn’t yet to come. Toure curled a beauty in the top corner after a neat one-two play with Fernandinho.
A wise man once said there’s a reason for everything. Let’s take a look at the reasons why City defeated the second best team in Ukraine—we need to do that, especially after they lost to Chelsea 5-1. I’m joking, City fans.
Dynamo struggled to get into City's half
Dynamo couldn’t get out of their own half for most of the first 45 minutes, they constantly passed the ball back. Their keeper Oleksandr Shovkovskyi nearly conceded a goal after they pass the ball back to him in the first ten minutes. Bad start, their confidence went down—even though they were playing home. Serhiy Rebrov’s side had a much better start in the second half.
Manchester City's rocky midfielders
The two defensive midfielders, Fernandinho and Fernando, alongside Yaya Toure were rock solid in the midfield. Any time Dynamo managed to get in City’s territory, they weren’t afraid to throw their boots at them (not literally). The three midfielders were physical, they had a couple of fouls in the first ten minutes (again with how the game started). They didn’t fly all the way to Ukraine to play around.
City's spotless defending down the wing
Kyiv played with three men up top. City’s defense down the flank was excellent for most of the game, as far as intercepting crosses or stopping the opposing wingers. How many times did Vincent Kompany bolt down the wing to put up a tackle?
Oh I need like five minutes of added time, wait for me English class. Even though, they lost, Dynamo saw most of the ball with 52% of possession, when City had 48%. And up to the hour mark, they had 27 more passes than the English side.
Five minutes of added time is already done? Let me leave on this note, great performance from Toure.
