14 - Javier Mascherano

[Metaphysical]

Well, it's Busquets/Abidal + Mascherano in front.

I hope Pep drops Mascherano to the right in possession and keeps Busquets in the middle of the three at the back. Mascherano is better suited to play on the side of a defense + Busquets has the better qualities (height, passing etc) to occupy the center. I think you could eventually end up mixing Alves and Mascherano depending on where they are if Arsenal get possession.

the only problem with that is it leaves our left flank vulnerable as he won't be able to rush over there on the cover as easily. I suspect he'll drop into the middle, as Busquets does when he plays DM.

 

[Daemul]

He'll stop Arsenal all by himself.

He's getting better and better. His tackling is awesome. Busquets as CB and him as DM works fine. His tackle to Bedtners chance was worldclass.

 

[Juan03]

holy shit what a save by Mash, 10/10 just for that, we're through partly because of him

 

[Flavia]

He's been awesome lately. And I hope he's not injured from that tackle.

[Silver]

If Busi can evoluate to a CB then Mash can be starting DM
