There's another possibility - that Yaya was vice captain but has been stripped of it for his lack of leadership in that game...

Could well be likely.

Indeed.

or that he found the armband to be a burden and seeing how much it meant to Zabba gave it up ? Both played better with the band on Zabba's arm

I have thought ever since the Soton game and i still can't figure out why the whole team played so poorly.

Personally I just put it down to 'shit happens'...doubt if this insightful analysis will catch on but it beats the hell out of worrying yourself to death over it

[Nickyboy]

maybe the reason for Tevez's compasionate leave had effected Zaba in a certain way and it wasn't felt he was mentally right to lead the team v Saints

God knows - lets just hope we don't see that kind of performance again this season

It might be the performance which got us all on board again.
