14 - Javier Mascherano

[DonAK]

Looks like he is starting at CB tonight..... FFS.........

 

[FCBarca]

Key key match...I like Mascherano's mental fortitude so I imagine he has it in him to redeem himself but I don't like it...Tata gambled with Puyol at RB last match and now Masch back at CB...Pressure is on

 

[Galning]

Flavia, seems like me (our) fear was justified. Martino's man-crush on fellow countryman Mascherano is too big. Can't believe Bartra is benched again.

 

[FCBarca]

Tata, goat or hero tonight?

 

[xavi_the_Boss]

It will be interesting how masch does tonight.

 

[MrKnowitAlll]

he will prove all you doubters wrong.

obvouisly tata saw something different in training thats why he played Masch.

Well i hope so or he just gives him another Chance after that Ajax match.

Is what we've been hearing since last year. So weird that Bartra must suck during training but during games he's better than Mascherano & often Piqué.

I don't know what he's seeing in training but what's important is what we're seeing in the matches and that is Bartra constantly outperforming whichever CB he plays with...

 

[ThwiX]

This midget would've costed us a goal if that bald guy didn't head the ball straight at Pinto.

 

[Flavia]

he will prove all you doubters wrong.

Oh well, he didn't. Another horrible game. This cb experiment needs to end. He is not a cb.

he did cost 1 against ajax with that terrible clearance. Mascherano has no business playing CB.

 

[Meitux]

It hasn't started now, it was happening long time ago but everyone who called Mascherano bad was called hater. Yet again it's proved otherwise. One more time Mascherano's lack of positioning understanding of a situation and judgement is bad also alongside with the already known problem of height, that he tottaly lost the situation with Toquero because he couldn't jump high enough.

His image as a good defender came mostly from La Liga games, almost every of the big games i saw him playing he made mistakes which could lead either in a goal or a creation of a chance. But lately he's not showing that he can manage La Liga games either. The point is, you wanna move on and look forward? We have to stop playing Mascherano once for all and give Bartra his fair chance of proving himself, he has done very well so far and needs consistent time to show if he's able to do well and if he's worthy of starting. I hope after this game yet again that Tata Seriously considers of dropping him from the line up, and to be honest i can't understand the reason why he starts lately.

 

[Stric]

The decisions Mascherano makes are not only questionable, most of the time they're downright absurd. He should never ever be allowed to play as a defender again. I hate to overreact, but sometimes he just does things that only a freaking moron could do. And howdy to y'all who ridiculed me weeks ago for saying that Masche IS NOT a centre back.
