14 - Javier Mascherano

[CatalinR10]

Really would love to see him in a double pivot with Busi he is unbelievable at covering distances

Me too. It would be really interesting to watch.

 

[Stric]

Would you sacrifice a winger or a defender for that? Or would it change depending on the situation of the match?

I would sacrifice one of the two attacking midfielders, primarily Xavi. For example: Mascherano/Iniesta/Busquets, or Mascherano/Fabregas/Busquets

 

[Blancone]

Expecting a lot from Mascherano tonight after Wendesday performance

 

[jiopi]

Started really strong the season, his long balls are joy to watch.

Damn my dirty dirty mind!

However this is very true, still remember that pass to Pedro in supercup vs Madrid in 12-13.

 

[Stric]

Damn my dirty dirty mind!

I know, right?

its allready happening most of the game but the sacrifice is a defender for an attacking midfielder.

I certainly did not expect that, but it would make sense as long as there isn't much distance between our lines...

Masch had a good match once again, only thing that scared me a little was that he got caught out of position in that header that Valdés saved near the end...

 

[jiopi]

Damn my dirty dirty mind!

Including the Supercup game he's the most accurate long balls, 45/53. Pretty insane amount in 3 games.

Next is Pique with 27/34 and Xavi 17/19.

yes i noticed that too but i thing he some kind of overdoing it.
surely he learnt a lot these years from his team mates...

 

[evilhita666]

Absolutely immense! He kept our defense like a boss!

THIS! THAT TACKLE on villa!!

Was happy to see Mascherano doing well versus organized and dangerous team like Atletico. Who knows, maybe Pique-Mascherano could turn into a better partnership than we saw last year.

Mascherano deserves a better partner than Pique.

Problem is they have to rotate 3 defenders playing Masch and Pique every 3 days will wear them down like last season. Anyway Masch had some bad passes but was the most solid out of all defenders.
