Yaya/Dejong

[Green & Blue]

Really glad to see Mancini finally play Yaya in his natural position, one of the many positives to take from today.I was wondering if it was ever going to happen.

I felt himself and Nigel played really well together.Yaya looks far more useful deployed slightly deeper in the side and he still managed to push forward in support on a regular basis.

Before anyone mentions it i know it was only against Sunderland but they look like they could make a really formidable pairing for us in the middle.

Would love to see this pairing explored more by Mancini but feel Barry will be back in beside Nigel again.
