Yaya says Blues deserve to collect some silverware

YAYA Toure thinks City ‘deserve’ to win a trophy this season as he targets silverware success today.

The FA Cup is a competition with fond memories for the Ivorian, who scored the winning goal in both the semi-final and final in 2011 – and Toure will be hoping to inspire City to victory again. Pep Guardiola’s men take on Middlesbrough in the quarterfinals with a place at Wembley in the semi-finals the reward.

Toure has Wembley success in his sights and wants to see City bring the trophy back to the Etihad in May.

Speaking to ManCity.com about his winning goals in 2011 he commented: “It was unbelievable.

“From that, everything started and I’m very delighted with that.

“I hope on Saturday we make it as good as anything we’ve done before because it’s a beautiful competition. The way we play and the team we have, I think we need to get a trophy this year.

“It’s not about talking something else, it’s about talking how we deserve to have a trophy this year.

“I don’t always want to be headlining in the big game, as long as the team wins – that’s the most important thing. We need to get a trophy this year, otherwise all these beautiful games are going to be a massive miss. “We have to win something. “The FA Cup is very, very important to us – all the trophies are important to us.”

For the first time in the quarterfinals the tie will go to extra time and penalties if there isn’t a result at the end of 90 minutes.
