Ya made a big mistake on Toure...

YAYA TOURE’S agent has told Pep Guardiola he missed a trick by leaving the Ivory Coast international out of his Champions League plans.

Toure (below), one of only two City players to lift the European Cup, was sidelined as the Blues crashed out at the quarter-final stage with a 5-1 aggregate defeat to Liverpool.

The midfielder’s agent Dimitri Seluk insisted Guardiola blundered.

Seluk said: “Pep likes to work with young players – but to win in the Champions League you need experience.

“I think leaving Yaya out of the squad to play Liverpool was a big mistake because City couldn’t handle the pressure.

“If Pep doesn’t think Yaya is good enough to start the games, then that’s his decision.

“But to not even have Yaya as a substitute? To have many young players on the bench who were never going to play is something that is hard to understand.

“Yaya could have used his experience to help the other players. He should have been in the dressing room and on the substitutes’ bench to guide them.

“He is still the one player that all the other City players love, respect and look up to because of what he has achieved in the game.”
