adminMANCHESTER City midfielder Yaya Toure insists he was never off-form following his superb display in his side’s opening League victory on Monday night.
The Citizens were comfortable 3-0 winners over West Brom in their first game of the season, with the Ivorian registering a brace for the 2013 /14 Premier League champions.
Despite being criticised for a dip in form last season, the 32-year-old said he was never far from his best, insisting he never took the comments made about him to heart.
“I know what I have to do and I don’t care what people say about me,” Toure told reporters. “I’m not back — I’m always there.
“Sometimes people criticise you unfairly but we don’t care what they say.”
The Ivorian said he was content with his scoring start to the new season, yet insists there is a long way to go for the team.
“It was a great start,” he said. “We have 37 games to go.
