"it has become fashionable not to recognise that after a tremendously debilitating hip fracture last season, and a faulty World Cup, Pique's fitness, athleticism and form are all on the rise. It's equally en vogue to put his every minor error under the microscope, to attribute opposition chances that stem from teammates' poor positional decisions to him -- it feels like open season."

Calma, calma
Pique has been terrible individually. No excuses. He's just a limited 1v1 defender, his strengths lie elsewhere.

He's not being scapegoated at all. Barca are winning with zero goals conceded, how can a scapegoat even exist? He hasn't been at the top 5 CB level since 2010/11. Good defender overall, but I'd replace him with Varane, Ramos, Thiago Silva, Hummels in a heartbeat.

Lol who is that trying to protect Pique. He has been on the decline for almost 3 yrs now and that hip injury is just an excuse that no one believes.


Nvm its Graham Hunter our fellow cule. Unfortunately looks like he one who tries to shield when one of ours is doing badly.

Hummels for Pique would be awesome. Too bad it's unlikely to happen.

He is a similar player and equally talented to Hummels but the difference is that Hummels is making the most out of it while Piqué plays like an amateur. Hope he'll regain his form at the Clásico.

Really dumb from him. Stupid thing to do, there was no real danger.

Exactly. Just a dumb move from him. Another "mistake" he does without thinking. Seriously sick of this. How do you get a handball penalty in a clasico?? Literally the biggest game of the year and he does something that can potentially set the team back.
