"The passenger" completed 8/8 take ons. He was brilliant today.Have a look at the goal. The striker of the ball was not closed down
I thought he struggled tonight. He used the ball reasonably well but he was largely just collecting it off the defenders. A passenger I felt
Daft post of the night. Disastrous? Really? Give your head a wobble!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.

He was. Sadly players don't last forever. They all have their day. Hopefully Yaya will get a 2nd wind, but I can't see it, and I didn't see it tonight despite an outstanding team performance in the 2nd half (aided by a pathetic 2nd half from the German team)

My MOTM tonight.
He is so influential to the team when he is in form like that.
