Gerard Piqué

[Joan]

Little OT but thoughts of Cannavaro here?

Personally, the best defender I have ever seen.

Almost as good as Pique.

 

[Birdy]

So, he didn't complete training today, sensations were bad,
BUT we still read rumors that he is gonna 'make a great effort' and 'force himself' with infiltrations and shit to play tomorrow,

and my nerves are getting a bit irritated...

 

[behindbrowneyes]

Gotta say that the difference without him can be seen negatively. Still 2nd best defender behind Araujo and these 2 are the only 2 of starting quality in the squad.

He was doing a fine job lately.

 

[jamrock]

Not 2nd best, our best defender

 

[Andresito]

Really shouldn't force himself. Like I've said before, we can't demand 20m Lenglet and not trust him at home against Eintracht. A 20m player should handle himself in tonight's game.

Feels a bit like he wants to retire at the end of the season and go on a high note (EL).

There were rumours of him making himself available to Lucho for the WC.

Lucho can always say no though.

Interesting, maybe he wants one more season :S

But I don't think he will go to the world cup purely because it would be unfair to the other guys.

There's one spot free at CB though. Eric Garcia, Pau and Laporte are set in stone, 4th CB has varied with Llorente, Inigo Martinez and now latest Guillamon.

But in the end I don't think he'll play for them again.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Don't play unfit Pique, please. We don't have enough legs vs Frankfurt as it is.

 

[iniestaGOAT]

Our best defender

 

[Valdario]

when he's missing, we don't have a leader in that defence anymore

 

[fergus90]

He has been massively missed.

 

[Horatio]

He has been massively missed.

most def

 

[JamDav1982]

He was all over place vs this lot before going off injured as well.

More to it than just Pique missing.
