Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has branded Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure a "liability" after defeat at Manchester United. Souness said Toure's become 'a bit of a liability' for City in the past two years, despite being instrumental to their Premier League title win last season.

"When he is playing and he has the ball at his feet, he is a real threat going forward," the former Liverpool midfielder said.

"When they don't have the ball he doesn't want to take part and come back towards his own goal.

"He just doesn't take part when City have the ball, they're too easy to play against. And that's a problem they've had for the last couple of seasons. And maybe that's one of the big reasons why they've not done as well as they should have done in Europe."
