I was so happy until I saw this thread. I thought it was going to be a thread about how good he has been. IMO he is very, very underrated by our fans and I thought he was fantastic again yesterday. His distribution of the ball in tight spaces in the middle is fantastic. Silva and Nasri get all the plaudits for what they do after Yaya has done his work and gave them the ball.
He has been fantastic so far this season and for the first time in 2 years I am wondering if De Jong is needed for every game.

He wasnt the only muslim who did very well yesterday. One scored four and the other played 3 assistsTCIB said:I apologize in advance for my ignorance on Muslim rituals and such but has he not just finished that Ramadan where he cant eat properly ?
I think he did his part well.

Apart from the toughest of opponents, I can see Mancini playing one or the other in the future. I was shot down in flames a few weeks ago for even daring to suggest the dropping of De Jong, but as I said at the time I was matching us up player for player with Barca and that's where this notion came from:
Aguero/Pedro_________________Dzeko/Villa_________________Mess/Nasri
Iniesta/Yaya(Tevez)(Would have been Sneijder)_____Xavi/Silva
_________________________Busquests/De Jong_____________________
according to 442 stats zone ya ya toure had the biggest player influence in the match the whole way through (not sure what its based on) everybody played well and he wasn't a weak link just didn't do anything spectacular just his job.
In my opinion if we are to be successful this season Barry and DeJong must start the majority of games in midfield. Yes Yaya's passing is top quality-his pass through midfield for Dzeko's second and the run outside Aguero for Dezeko's third-sublime.
However, watch the last 20 mins or so and Yaya is constantly in the wrong position, allowing spurs to run through our midfield at will. Yes the game was won, but the same thing happened in the community shield and frequently when Yaya was played deeper last season. Yaya simply doesnt work as hard without the ball as he does with it.
On the other hand Barry gave a masterclass again in midfield play-he always gets goal side of the opposition and covers for other players-Yaya rarely does.

People will say he wasn't that good because he did hsi job well . He was playing the defensive midfield role that he has said he prefers to play , and when you play back there you don't get noticed as much . But he was good yesterday , I watched him quite closely and his passing in general is fantastic . He was purely outshone yesterday , but that doesn't mean he didn't play well . Some may call him our worst player yesterday but , really you could just say he was the worst of the best . I think he lost Kaboul for their goal , but otherwise he didn't do anything wrong

But wow, can he run past defenders! Even when starved.
he may or may not have done ramadan when your a footballer you can take ramadan at another time or give to charity. :)
