14 - Javier Mascherano

[barcanuck]

We're going to need the Monster Masch to be insanely solid in this last part of the season now. I've had no problems with him in the last little while. His long passing is

 

[Stric]

Yeah, his long passes are insane.

pretty spiffy

 

[Fourteen]

Love it.

 

[King Leo]

Had a great game today against Venzuela. The tackles he made were just amazing, in particular an early one he made that made me go
it's a crime to play Mascherano in defense.

 

[CatalinR10]

He was a beast last night

Yea while his tackles are spectacular and fun to watch, I can't help but feel that it may cost us with a dodgy referee in a big game sooner or later.

Those risky challenges will be exploited by more experienced and clever players . Ronaldo is an example of someone who lures in defenders and then uses his quick feet to get fouls etc.

According to MD, near the end of the match against Bolivia, Masch went to the bench for help, and said "I want air, not water", when they handed him some water bottles.

He and Messi must be rested against Celta, they played 90 min in that 3660 altitude :/

Will you play in the Barca midfield again?

Q. Will you ever play in the Barca midfield again?

 

[King Leo]

Mascherano had one hell of a game against Bolivia. He was running around and stopping attacks from the midfield but now after a long trip back to Spain he's gonna be even more exhausted. I feel we gonna get our ass kicked in Paris.

 

[Raed]

I sure hope so.

 

[sabby]

One more proof we should have bought a CB instead of song last year so we could play him at DM when needed. Song is a very good player but redundant.

 

[impeh]

6 weeks

 

[Indignado]

6 weeks

Oh god why.

 

[Diogo28]

Puyi and Masch out, that's a big problem. I hope that CB Song is out of the options.
