He lost the ball every single time he went on one of his runs last night

Funny enough, he freed himself a couple of times in one of our 2 men attacks but only for tevez to do something stupid with the ball.

Yaya can play a forward midfield role although it certainly isn't his natural game but when he did get the ball there were so few options , sometimes none at all, that he was basically forced to hold on for too long and try things he really shouldnt be trying.
The 3 "attackers" we had all had the same problems. Tevez for me wasn't close to fully fit and didn't use the ball well and even Silva , who we all know is class, struggled because there were so little passing options .And to be fair his passing wasn't as good as usual.

DH hit the nail on the head. Quite simply this is why Yaya looked poo.

i cant understand how you can defend his performance last night.

I am not defending his performance at all, but I think that singling him out is harsh, specially when the whole team was shit offensively!

while i see your and AD points his positon on the pitch and the lack of forward options has absolutely nothing to do with his casual strolling around not giving a f**k attitude.
numerous times the ball was near him and he watched it being played rather then running the 3 yards to close it down,
numerous times he was caught in limbo neither contributing to defence or attack,
the cameras picked up on it,the comentators picked up on it and i fail to see how some on here cant see it.
some people need to take off the blinkers.

The bit about not running 3 yards to close it down was a bit weird at times.I can't deny it happened but I also can't accept it's down to laziness so it's either fitness related or maybe that Mancini doesnt want him chasing around all over the place. I see enough of them training to know that Mancini is big on shape and if players do follow( chase) the ball it can affect the shape of the team. Usually when the ball was 3 yards away it was headed into an area where we were already covered so no big deal.
