Azzurri
Player Valuation: £70m
Well he's awfully lucky then, because by sheer chance he maintained a position that allowed him to cover the on-ball defender in case he was beaten inside AND prevent the easy short pass along the floor to Mata. I wish I could absent-mindedly play that well. If Distin thought there was no other Chelsea player nearby, why didn't he close down and double up on the attacker with the ball?
I watched the entire game mate, including that passage of play. Distin was our MoM.
Exactly.
If he didn't notice Mata he'd have been stood 2 or 3 yards diagonal to Jagielka.
