FantasyIreland said:There is a reason Yaya has been playing so well prior to today - Fernandinho.
He allows Yaya the freedom to dictate play without the concern for whats happening behind him.
Losing Fernandinho effectively loses us Yaya as we have no one else capable of providing the energy,industry and defensive mobility that's required to compliment his game.
