14 - Javier Mascherano

[FCBarca]

exactly

Problem is, Bartra is a RB that can play the right CB spot...And Fontas is a left sided CB, the need is more for that position than the other

Gaby, shame, he can still deliver a nice longball but he doesn't have the pace to keep that backline secure, for me

 

[iookram]

Maybe it is.. but Fontas is a similar CB to Pique, good with the ball but not with good pace. If what we need is someone more Puyol-ish.. then it should be Marc Bartra.

Mascherano could give us that at this moment.

Mascherano could give us that at this moment.

I agree.. and it seems that Pep too, as Masche already played there in the last game against Almeria. And having our Busi-Xavi-Iniesta back in midfield is very important.

That was probably the plan for the next game before he got suspended. We'll still probably do that in the Copa final and the CL. In the Liga match, it'll be Milito or Fontas (with Masch out, Busquets has to play DM).

Milito > fontas

Come on guys...

If I had to pick... Milito, even though it does scare me quite a bit.... And back on topic, glad masch is staying

No. Fontas just needs a chance. It'd be good if Pep played him a few minutes against shakthar. Milito is over, sadly.

Yes see you make more sense a FEW minutes not start the game and play 90+ minutes but have milito start.. And yes info believe his career at barca may be over but for now he's committed.. And let's use what we got

We don't want to but can definitely afford not winning in the Liga Clasico. So I agree - probably Milito or Fontas will play alongside Pique... And use Masch for the other 3 Clasicos.

Since nowadays it's all Messi when Barcelona is mentioned like it's all Barca-Madrid when Spain is mentioned, I think Masch was man of the match for 'the other Barcelona' tonight

 

[Cal-FCB]

He was fantastic tonight, he also won me over playing in a CB role. He adaquately challenged in the air, tackling was awesome. It certainly helped as Biscuits could move into midfield to help the passing.

 

[Valon]

Holy shit was he good or was he? Fucking awesome performance.

 

[BarcaGirl]

Majestic Performance from Mascherano! Along with Valdes for me MOTM!

We are going to miss him badly in the Clasico!

it's ok, mascherano can do the job

 

[Flavia]

Good he adapted so well at CB. Better than Busquets. He'll be needed for the other 3 clasicos, if Puyol's not fit.
