It's not so much that Yaya wasn't playing, but the fact that we used the Sevilla away system again. I love it when we set up like that. Two strong defensive midfielders releasing Fernandinho to get forward, and offering more protection to our defence. Pace and penetration out wide giving us an excellent counter attacking option. Yaya can definitely play in that system as he did in Sevilla but it also gives us the opportunity to rest and rotate which could be key if we keep doing well in the cup competitions.
Exactly. I think if Toure had played instead of Fernando (for example), the result wouldn't have been any different.
