Didn't have his best game but still showed his importance.
I thought he was MOTM.
We look more solid and have a greater fluidity with him in the side.
I still don't like the Barry/DJ combo though.
What I said was not damning, on the contrary it was great praise. He's a massive influence even when not playing well. He wasn't poorly last night but he's clearly suffering from a bit of fatigue so wasn't at his best. I'd call that average Yaya really. There were not many bursting fast counter-attacks that he's capable of. In fact, of the box-to-box runs he can inflict, there were none. Even so, still crucially influential. Don't think we'd have won without him.
