Am I the only one who thought Tevez was fairly dreadful in his sub appearance? Too selfish and a bit lazy at some points....AJ's cross was straight across the front of goal with a gaping net and Tevez failed to continue his run because he doubted AJ's ability to get a cross in; I feel like Tevez last year would've bundled that ball into the goal.
Yaya had a completely different role today to Monday.He sat deeper but as a proper midfield player but without the surging runs. Played pretty well too.
Absolutely.
I thought YaYa had very good game and fullfilled the role he was pencilled to do yesterday perfectly well allowing Milner to shine and keeping the formation together with Barry.
