Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa joins AS Roma then Lyon


Recommended Posts

 

He should've been closer to Muller, if you look he's slow to react to run which allows Muller the time to play it back to Gotze. He should've been tighter.

 

He's as tight as you could be and stopped him turning. His man didn't score you know?

 

Just because Muller didn't score it doesn't mean that Mbiwa can't have been at fault for some of the build up play, watch Muller's movement and you'll see Mbiwa is miles off him and really late to react. He's far more concerned with Gotze infront of him, this is what causes him to lose his man which is Muller.

:lol: okay let's blame him for a goal that he had nowt to do with.

 

He lost his man which allowed Muller to play a one two with the goal scorer, I struggle to see how that doesn't at least lay some of the blame at Mbiwa. I like Mbiwa but he's been caught out on more than one occasion today, he's also done some good stuff as well but let's not pretend he's been great.

He's marking his man, he's between him and goal so that he can't turn to shoot, so he's certainly not at fault for the goal whether he could have done better or been tighter or not.  The lad who doesn't follow Gotze is at fault.

 

Yanga-Mbiwa was at fault for the 3rd though, hard to find a single Roma defender who hasn't been caught out by Bayern, Cole was twice.

You can still lose your man but have him end up with his back to goal, he's slow to react to Muller's run which allow him an easy lay off into the path of the goalscorer. He's ball watching again for the third goal, he's got some massive plus points  in his game but he's been poor tonight at the basics.

Is the argument here really that because Yanga-Mbiwa doesn't stop Muller from receiving the ball in the first place he's at fault for the goal?  Even though Gotze is allow to get his shot away due to another defender completely losing him.
