Yeah... I can't help but wonder how much he'd improved by now, if not for that damn injury

Especially when Piqué passes as he has done today
+ another for Neymar in second. Also awesome at the back.

If Roberto would play 2 games as CB he would probably still get more credit. But joke aside, I don't believe that comments regarding him not being real CB are very serious, most of them are just sarcasm.

Some laugh at me when I write that in the chat and claim that his passing (especially long balls) is better than Pique's.

Mascherano equals Ronald Koeman for FC Barcelona appearances

The Argentinian played his 264th game for Barça on Sunday night, thus equalling the tally of the current Southampton manager
Javier Mascherano made his 264th appearance for FC Barcelona against Celta on Sunday night, thus drawing level with the ‘hero of Wembley 1992’, Ronald Koeman, as he rises up the list of the foreigners with the most games for Barça.
In five seasons at the club, the Argentinian has won 15 major trophies, compared to the Dutchman’s 12, including two Champions Leagues, three Ligas and two Club World Cups.
Mascherano came to Barcelona from Liverpool in 2010, originally as a defensive midfielder, although at Barça he was used more and more as a central defender, and that eventually became his most regular position, the same as Koeman. Both players have also worn the captain’s armband.
Cocu next
If he plays on Wednesday against Sporting Gijón, Mascherano will edge ahead of Koeman to 265 games. The next player on the list is also from Holland, Cocu, who has played 292 times for FCB, the second highest number ever for a foreign import.

Masche is also almost as dangerous in front of goal as Koeman.

In any other team in the world Mascherano would be a DCM. For Argentina he is still a DCM. It's just that our defence requires players with the same skillset normally only found in good DCM's.
I think Mascherano is one of the unsung heroes in the team, he is a fantastic player.

I personally found his passing to be lacking in accuracy yesterday, particularly in the first half but maybe that was due to celta's high press

Strange. His passing accuracy was 91.4% yesterday. Just lost to Arda, who had 100%. Masch also had the most passes in the game, 81. 20 long balls, and 16 were accurate.
