Forget about the Community Shield match against Simba which was played at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium and Yanga emerged with a 1-0 victory, in the next two games, Yanga had two different tactics especially in the game against Kagera Sugar
In the match that was played at Kaitaba Stadium and Yanga won 1-0, the Citizens were very good in the first half but poor in the second half especially after the substitution of some players
A similar situation happened again in the game against Geita Gold, especially in the last 30 minutes
But that was not the case in the game against Simba, as the Citizens were better in the second half than they played in the first half
In the game against Simba midfielders Yannick Bangala and Khalid Aucho teamed up well with Feisal Salum 'Fei Toto'
Bangala was returned to the defensive line in games against Kagera Sugar and Geita Gold after Bakari Nondo Mwamnyeto suffered a finger injury
To a large extent, Bangala's absence in the midfield is what's causing Yanga a decline performance especially when Farid Mussa is out on the second half
Farid has been used as a midfielder alongside Aucho but he is not able to play 90 minutes
Zawadi Mauya, who is used as his replacement, has yet to regain his edge of last season
When Mwamnyeto recovers and Bangala is brought back to the midfield, Yanga will no doubt play 90 minutes with the same vigor as they did in the game against Simba
Bangala is a very important player in the Yanga squad, he has dog lungs!
But also Mukoko Tonombe has completed the three match ban, he will add strength to the midfield and thus give Yanga a good balance throughout the game
