14 - Javier Mascherano

[desoe]

He almost cost us the game, tho.

The Niang blunder

 

[Flavia]

I f'ing love this guy. Superb game.

He failed on the play that Niang shot on the psot, other than that, really good.

 

[King Leo]

He had a great game, only mistake was his height. The header could have killed us. Still love this guy and dam those long shots

 

[impeh]

apart from the dodgy header he was brilliant

 

[DonAndres]

Great game aside from the error. Still less shaky than Pique though.

 

[estranged]

This game summed Masch up perfectly. Potentially a world class CB that any team could do with in big matches like this, but at the same time his positioning at times is horrendous and he almost cost us the game, though having said that, we wouldn't have been able to dominate possession and get those first half goals had it not been for his unrelenting and flawless pressing from the back.

 

[Fourteen]

Or the third goal. His timing is expertly executed and his well timed tackle put the third goal in to motion.

 

[abual3bed1]

He was so solid bar that error. Brilliant tackles and blocks.

 

[spark]

Thats what i meant when i said he and pique will have one error per game.Although unlike pique, everybody and their dog isnt beating him with basic dribbles. Great match otherwise. Mache always tackles young players extra hard. I remember him against Wilshere a couple years ago. "Welcome to European football".

Mascherano: "I'm sad about the action where they hit the post. It was a big mistake of mine which could have changed history."

All is forgiven! You perfect human being!

[SwiftGuyver]

Badger.

 

[SeloBarca]

Was a bit nervous every time the ball went towards Mascherano. Hes not the best in the air.

Solid performance though, but we should reeinforce this position for the next season.

 

[Doobs]

He's not the greatest but he's composed and fearless

 

[JamDav1982]

Mascherano was brilliant other than that one error.

He reads the game so well and you need players that can read the game and are as mobile as he is in a back three.
