You couldn't have expected him to perform last season when the team as a whole was so passive defensively. Our defensive problems were not down to the CB's (even if they didn't perform well) and they were spread way too thin which is why they seemed so poor. Now that he's being covered well he can do his duties and not always be caught in extremely tough situations.

If you had put any other "world class" CB in Pique's situation last year, they would've done badly as well (Kompany, Dante, even Silva would've had a tough time handling it). Pique, while not the fastest, isn't that slow and has gained a lot of fitness this year. He's winning a majority of his aerial duels and using his height extremely well, and he's gained a tough and physical steely factor to his game that compliments his positional intelligence. On current form, he's world class and looks like he'll continue to be a leader in our backline.

This sums it up! Spot on post Don Andres.
The team has been defending well as a unit but individually when Pique was required to hold it down he's been brilliant. He's stayed on his feet, pushed attackers wide and won the ball whenever possible.

Not fair Pique can have both the Latin goddess and Caribbean fantasy.

Lucky boy, let's just hope it doesn't effect his performance on the pitch.
