I hadn't but have now. Great minds...!

Wouldn't have Yaya anywhere near a CM of two though. He just can't be trusted to put in a shift and would just leave a gaping hole.

I agree in certain games but against a team that won't cross the halfway line we need his passing ability in the middle and shooting ability!

Maybe. But the lesson we have learned is 442 demands everyone pulls a shift and an attacker drops back otherwise you get over manned in midfield. I only see Yaya as a squad player now. He's a luxury player who can't perform any defensive duties despite his skills. I might play him as part of a midfield 3 in front of two real CMs or behind the striker in a 451 or 4411.

He's still a good player but he's not what he was and I feel that there's no use asking him to do what he can't do any more.

Edited to add:

Sunderland don't have to cross the line. On recent performances they only have to hoof it up the middle, through the gaping hole in our midfield a few times and that's two goals.
