Yea he is just SHIT lately. But, to be fair it has to be tough for him with Puyol and Masch always coming in and out of injury it mustn't be so easy for him to keep adapting to the Adriano's and Song's makeshift defenders or the inexperienced Barta etc. Add to that no more Abidal to help... yea.
He will surely improve when he can play along a solid D and form a partnership with him such as the one he had with Puyi. As someone mentioned when he is alongside Ramos he plays alright. So how much is his fault? Give him credit at least for carrying our defense, not any easy position he's been in lately.
Get up Gerard! Fuck the waka-waka you don't need that shit. Dust off we're gonna need you.
