14 - Javier Mascherano

[DonAndres]

Mascherano is injured, problem with his left calf. No report on how long he'll be out but if we assume he misses the Clasico, that's another match with Mathieu or a 4-3-3 . Not that Masche would've been that much of an upgrade. We likely would've seen the same absent minded defending and him probably getting dicked down by Ramos on set pieces. Still, any single starting player going missing cripples us badly and we're gonna go to the Bernabeu without both Neymar and Masche.

Digne was excellent when we tried him on 3-4-3 but I expect the tactical mastermind will start Mathieu with Gomes

Came in to miss a tap in

Thats the type of goal no other team misses. We miss so many easy goals

 

[evilhita666]

What? He didn't miss, he couldn't reach the ball despite his effort...

Yeah, people here think "tap in" means "less than X meters from the goal line", no matter how hard the situation is.

That's because a ton of fans don't actually play the game.

[Machina]

His first penalty in club career, too. (or at least that's what the commentators have said, so I can't be sure)

 

[Sorin]

Mascherano for second choice penalty taker after Messi.
