Don't let the last 10 minutes gloss over what was a very poor performance, against a bang average (albeit in good form) German side. Yaya offered absolutely no protection in terms of positioning, meaning Otamendi and Mangala were constantly having to step out into midfield and take risks. Just watch how many times the two centre backs have to step up, leaving acres of space in behind them because Yaya isn't prepared to cut off the pass into strikers feet. Fernandinho and Delph were left in no man's land because they went out to close players in wide areas and Yaya didn't come across with them, to the point they had to stay more central which left Clichy and Kolarov isolated and outnumbered in wide areas. Disastrous to play Yaya in that role from a defensive point of view.
Well that's cheered me up no fucking end.
