Mascherano deserves a better partner than Pique.

+1

Official: Mascherano got a knock on his head and felt dizzy, he has recovered and returns with the team to Barcelona #fcblive

Glad to hear he is ok.

Me too. I got really worried with the way he looked when the game ended. There's no cb backup.

Monster Masch!

 

[PhilS]

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.

As a Barca CB, Masch seems to be able to play tons of games without wearing down. But I sure hope Puyol can rotate in a lot, starting soon.

I don't know if solid is the best way to describe him as a CB. He's incredible at getting the ball back, really good at ball handling and passing. No one in the Barca defense is solid, that's just not the Barca defensive style.

 

[King Leo]

Mascherano's long passes are amazingly accurate plus His tackles are some of the best in football,. love this guy

 

[FCBarca]

Great translated read from Javier

 

[jiopi]

Monstrous performance, he was like everywhere.

 

[barcanuck]

A rabid dog!

 

[Dan1983]

Rock solid as usual.

 

[e28makaveli]

I also like the way he applies pressure before someone in his field of view gets a pass.

 

[tello]

Rock solid as usual.

If he only was 7-10 cm taller he would have probably been the best CB in the world...

What is this shit about Martino wanting Masche out?
