Fair enough, it's a bit curate's egg- depends how you see it. The cross for West Ham's second goal was great, as was Chicharito's movement, so I don't hold too much against Maya for that. What I did notice was the amount of important tackles and interceptions he made, not to mention that it was his persistence that got the winning penalty.
Ultimately we know that Maya works better with a commanding CB partner, that will always be the case. I honestly think that without him yesterday we would have been much, much worse.
NB it's the first game I've been to see live for about 3 years, so maybe my eye for a player is a bit rusty.
