14 - Javier Mascherano

[oz187]

In that case Montoya can do a job at left back. Almeria, Celtic and Vallodolid are teams that Barca should be able to beat fairly easily so it's a good time for him to get injured.

Barça lost to Celtic last season on the away game.

Don't worry guys we have Pique and I'm sure if push comes to shove and Pique gets a red we will see Tata summon Bagnack.

 

[abual3bed1]

Either Bagnack or Gomez should travel with the team to Almeria.

Barça lost to Celtic last season on the away game.

That was a fluke reliant on Barca being wasteful in attack. It doesn't really matter what defensive line is put out by Barca, there is a clear disparity in quality between the teams. The game will be decided by the mentality of the Barca midfield and attack.

You cannot forget the fans and the atmosphere at Celtic park. It was a crazy game last time, I doubt it'll be different. I hope Bartra is up to the challenge.

 

[oz187]

Yeah, the atmosphere is great, but that's what I mean when I say it comes down to the players mentality. With a coach that pays serious attention to the opponent I'm hopeful they'll do well.

Bagnack is injured

 

[coura]

Pique and Bartra the starters. Then Adriano as a replace if anything goes wrong. And then Busquets using Song in midfield.

 

[CatalinR10]

How long is his recovery ? Will he be fit for the Madrid game ?

 

[abual3bed1]

He should be ready before Madrid's game. Might actually play with Argentina in the international break.

 

[Patty2720]

Mascherano costs us another goal..

 

[Trickykid]

Shame about the mistake. It doesn't change the fact that he's had a great season so far, though.

 

[jiopi]

1 mistake, but it was expected after injury, improved along the game.

Pretty much this... It was a pretty basic mistake tough...
