Father time has caught up with the big fella and I cannot see him featuring much as a starter this season tbh. Great to bring on to see games out, but that is about it for me.

Anyone else think he could do a job at CB if we play 3 at the back ?

Looked like he was running through treacle when he came on, his passing is still there though.
He still has a big part to play in the team this season.

Absolutely and in the context of the game, he literally didn't have to do anything other than walk, collect the ball and keep it ticking over.
Just one last gut wrenching length of the field run and goal is all i want to see from the big man.
Me too; although I think Pep has asked him to be very disciplined in what he does. Surely the right moment will present itself though.

He barged his way through their midfield once too, the rest is doing him no harm for me.68 touches of the ball and he was barely on the pitch. A productive cameo.
Whilst I agree to an extent, I'm more than happy with seeing him do half the "length of the field" because it means we (and he) aren't having to defend much.Just one last gut wrenching length of the field run and goal is all i want to see from the big man.

And he won ball on half-way to set up the move for 7th.He barged his way through their midfield once too, the rest is doing him no harm for me.

No
Maybe the Yaya of pre-2016Anyone else think he could do a job at CB if we play 3 at the back ?
To be fair to him he appears not to be causing any grief about not playing. Unfortunately at his age, with his type of physic he needs to play a lot more - chicken and egg type of thing. Yesterday when he came on I saw something we have not seen too much of this season - he gave the ball away in a dangerous area and could not get back to nullify any potential attack. Others this year are fast enough to get back and this has been one of the differences to the last two seasons. I suspect he will move on in the summer possibly even January if Gundogan proves his fitness. Great servant but time is up for Uncle Yaya.
