Made a video on Yaya's surging runs. <a class="postlink" href="http://youtu.be/YWcMf5j99AA" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://youtu.be/YWcMf5j99AA</a>
Nice work there TBM. I can't get my head around those runs of his. He doesn't seem to be going that flat out fast in any of them (compare how he
looks to Navas flying down the right wing before setting up Nasri for the fourth against the vermin). Yet, taking the Villa goal last season as an example; he had 4 PL footballers (and presumably no slouches) chasing him (and they weren't trying to control a ball as they ran), yet they simply couldn't catch him. You could say the same about the goal at Palace. And even when they do catch him, they simply can't knock him off the ball. It's astounding to watch. And 5 minutes prior to one of those types of runs, he looks like he can't put one foot in front of the other. A remarkable athlete.
