Yaya is incapable of that role and we do lack a few players who can do that job. Against Leicester we could of salvaged something if we had been given the penalty in the first half (the foul on Zaba which was in the box not outside). West Ham second goal wasn't a corner (although we didn't deal with) and because of that we were up against it. The home game against Spurs they were gifted a penalty.
The loss of Kompany is significant but that's why we spent £70m on Otter and Mangala during MPs reign. There is no excuse. Kompany won't be playing forever. It's s bit like saying we would have a much better chance if only Colin Bell could get fit. If we are talking luck, then how lucky were we to take 6 points off Norwich and Swansea at home.
