When City have struggled, it has been because of Yaya sleeping and not being at his best. But if you look at the two titles that City won, Toure was one of the main reasons as to why this happened. When he plays well, City are a dangerous team and it just leaves one to wander why the best has not been gotten out of him in the Champions League.
David Silva is huge and is the creative lynchpin, but he isn't the all round contract killer that Yaya can be. So if City want to retain their title, then Pellegrini needs that spinach to be injected into Yaya. Oh, and there is just a minor matter in Rome that could use a little Ivorian touch.
