watch again when we dont have possession. He does not try to get goal side. We cannot play like that against anyone decent.
I said watch it again. Far too many occasions when yaya is happy for others to do his running. We need to play DeJong with Barry and Yaya in front of them in these games-more pragmatic.

Dzeko was okay.
Aguero ineffective.
Silva quiet by his standards.
Yaya bad.
Poor passing, terrible positioning.

I'm very surprised Yaya's come in for some criticism. I thought he was arguably one of the best players on the park.
It's going to be interesting to see how Nigel and Yaya play together in behind a front four. I think that's going to be a fearsome combination.

I really enjoyed it, Thought Napoli were very good. The two best teams to play in a match at Eastlands.
They gave us areally hard test, Thought we were on the ropes after their goal. Came back well.
Its in a game as tough as this that you realise that Nasri-Silva-Dzeko-Aguero are only playing their 2nd match together and, despite the Spurs match, will take time to gel in all situations.

Napoli played a 5 man defence, and we played with no overlapping fullbacks, hence no width, and when you pack a defence and try and attack thru the middle, the game gets narrow, its pretty tough going, and suits the defending side.
Once Gael and AJ came on, we seemed to push them back more, its a shame he took Edin off at the same time they came on, as once we had width we had no target man. He should have taken Kun off IMO.
That said, it was a good game, it is certainly a heads up to the quality of Champs League football, and with tweak or two here and there and a bit more luck on the night, i think we will progress.

Thought Dzeko was our best by some margin, but do think Yaya was positive
