He was dropping deep to get the ball because the centre backs aren't good enough to play it out.

He was quality tonight.

If youre putting blame on him for their goal then you're really pushing it that's for sure.

Not like you understand that position...Fernando motm vs Barca etc.

Have a look at the goal. The striker of the ball was not closed down

I thought he struggled tonight. He used the ball reasonably well but he was largely just collecting it off the defenders. A passenger I felt

He was. Sadly players don't last forever. They all have their day. Hopefully Yaya will get a 2nd wind, but I can't see it, and I didn't see it tonight despite an outstanding team performance in the 2nd half (aided by a pathetic 2nd half from the German team)
 
The Gladbach fans on the row behind me tapped me on the shoulder and said "Yaya...wow!" "Very nice player!"

He sprayed the ball well from side to side and tried a couple of forward runs. he was playing very very deep, practically a centre back at times and I felt he was very uneffectual. have a look at their 1st goal as well.

Look at Otamendi for that goal instead. He stepped out but ended up in no man's land with 2 players running past him either side
 
With the legs of Delph and Fernandinho around him he can play his own game and I thought he was excellent tonight.

He had a couple of old school moments tonight where he burst through a couple of challenges and found himself running down their throats. It was great to see him doing that again. Overall he had a decent game but there were other aspects that he was found wanting - especially in the first half.

I will. And you have a look at Toure. he leaves the goalscorer. He's nowhere near him when he strikes it

You are just embarrassing yourself now. Go to bed mate.
 
When Yaya and Silva are on form, we can unlock most defences
I thought both players did pretty well tonight. Good to see Yaya re-finding his form.
 
Don't let the last 10 minutes gloss over what was a very poor performance, against a bang average (albeit in good form) German side. Yaya offered absolutely no protection in terms of positioning, meaning Otamendi and Mangala were constantly having to step out into midfield and take risks. Just watch how many times the two centre backs have to step up, leaving acres of space in behind them because Yaya isn't prepared to cut off the pass into strikers feet. Fernandinho and Delph were left in no man's land because they went out to close players in wide areas and Yaya didn't come across with them, to the point they had to stay more central which left Clichy and Kolarov isolated and outnumbered in wide areas. Disastrous to play Yaya in that role from a defensive point of view.

"The passenger" completed 8/8 take ons. He was brilliant today.

Daft post of the night. Disastrous? Really? Give your head a wobble!

His post sums it up for me. You watch that match and come away with that conclusion, its either drugs, or an opinion you're never going to change despite the facts overwhelmingly proving the opinion is wrong. Unfortunately for Yaya whatever he has done and may do in the future, he is on a loser with a lot of the fans now. I would move on if I was him. We win a Champions league group, and still some fans need a scapegoat. What have we become ?
