Toure To Return To Top Form
Monday, 6th Oct 2014 09:50

Zabaleta as said that he and his team-mates are "100% sure" that Yaya Toure will soon return to top form. The Ivory Coast international was the driving force behind City's Premier League title success last term, scoring 20 goals from midfield, but has come under criticism for his performances this season.

Toure scored the opening goal in City's defeat of Aston Villa at Villa Park on Saturday.

"I think it was so important for him to score," Zabaleta told theM.E.N.

"We all know how important Yaya is for the team. If he is on his best form, Yaya can do whatever he wants because he's just different class. We are at our best when Yaya is at his best.

"Last season he was fantastic. He scored 20 goals and that for a midfielder is just incredible. I would like to see Yaya scoring more goals, 20 if possible.

"We need him back to his best form in terms of passing, even free-kicks. We are 100 per cent sure we will see the best of Yaya soon.

"He should be full of confidence because we know how important he is for the team, as do the fans. And hopefully he can continue scoring goals like this."
