Badger's not been bad for us at all. he's done his job when he's had to and shown the creative side of his game is far superior than given credit for. I don't expect him to be firing on all cylinders for us yet, and frankly I'm amazed that one yellow card early on in a game that he then played well in (and showed more of his dogged cover skills in chasing down players who got in behind our full-backs) has caused all this hysteria.
I guess folk just have to complain about something, eh?
i have nothing against masch but he is too good to be a back up and not good enough/suited for us to start. we should have saved ourselves a lot of money and signed someone like inler.
you really have some weird mancrushes.
Inler = not good enough for us.
Mascherano and Busquets will rotate at the DM position (already the situation is like last year with Busquets playing more Lliga than Copa and CL where Badger/Yaya feature more heavily) and probably Busquets will win out and feature more in the second half of the season because he's a better fit for us.
I still think away from home in huge clashes (especially in Europe) is where Mascherano will show his true worth. no way Inter could run through him like they did vs. Busquets in Sansa.
