14 - Javier Mascherano

[ryuken]

Fail performance today as a CB.

 

[La Furia]

This guy shouldn't be the one backing the central defenders! He can make a few last ditch tackles, that's his very speciality, but he's got zero positioning... NADA!!

Come on Pep, sign a fucking defender. It'll surely prove to be really costly if we don't sign one. We need somebody so Pique at least has a legitimate competition in the team for fuck sake!!

 

[FCBarca]

I hope this is the official end of the Masch at CB experiment

Exactly, his positioning is terrible, and his last ditch tackles are just playing with fire. He could fill in at CB for a game or 2 (even big games) but I hope tonight was proof that he shouldnt be there in the long term.

 

[Metaphysical]

Great player, but not a CB.

this was the first game of pre-season, dude. he did alright, tbh.

his distribution was PANTS, though. good lordy lord!

 

[estranged]

if his distribution was pants, i wonder what his positioning was. seriously it felt like we were playing with 1 CB tonight.

 

[Vegy]

A world class tackler, but not as fast, tall and experienced to be in Barca's CB position against Madrid.

 

[yusuf]

this masch at CB is ridiculas...we would have played much better this match if he was in the DM position that he has played his whole life

 

[Pride]

Sell Yaya, buy Mascherano.

I love Masch, I really do, but he's ..... hit or miss sometimes.

 

[Barcafan 2304]

People forgetting the sterling job he did at Wembley. Think it's more to do with early season and not being quite ready more than anything else.

 

[ivan22]

for the return leg I want to see pique/abidal as CB and masch as DM. simple as that

This.

His poor passing does not allow Pep to utilise him at DM. Will Biscuits be ready for this game?

it was his first game since the Copa QF.

people need to get a grip.

 

[PhilS]

Masch will be on the field at CB, at least until Puyol gets back. I thought the main reason RM had so many chances last Sunday was all the turnovers by the Barca midfielders and forwards. The back line held it to two goals, which is no shame against an offense as potent as RM, when RM plays as well as they did that first half.

 

[Pepe Silvia]

Masch gave it to Rooney in the worst way no lube. Didn't even have the decency to give him a reach around.
