Last year the switch fucked up Zaba when armband was taken from him and Yaya had it then as well ... seems to me there is something to it and MP better learn it quickly and sort this out. Last season Zaba got it back from Yaya a game or two later and all seemed normal again. I think it was Southampton debacle.
I agree Yaya is not really showing up as a true leader in the pitch and wonder how much he motivates players off it ... and it probably is showing why Zaba's head is down lately, maybe he takes that band too seriously.
