Jeremy Mathieu

[Barça Barça Barça]

I would not have started him but Lucho got it spot on as he put in a very good performance. Hopefully he can keep that standard up for the rest of the season.

Only Mathieu (11) recovered more balls for Barcelona tonight than Messi (8)

Yes, the Mathieu hate is ridiculous. Of course he was never worth what we paid for him and giving him such a long contract is stupid, but its not his fault and he is a solid squad player. He is fast and strong and has a real presence in defence.

 

[Frodo_FCB]

He is a good defender..His consistency is the problem. I hope his performance wont drop in the upcoming games.

We'll win 3 points against Madrid, with Mathieu.
Don't worry.

Good performance, still very clumsy when he's pressured by opposition but he did a fine job tonight!

 

[Antimadridista1]

Bien joué Mathieu !

 

[Kohe321]

Proved me very wrong, he played great. Extremely proud of our big French chainsmoker, keep it up Mathieu!

Don't worry.

I can almost see the proud beneath those words.

 

[Kerrybai]

Looked like the early season player tonight. Keep it up.

Wanted Bartra to start this game but Mathieu has done really well. Great to see after his questionable form lately.

 

[Semi-Neutral]

I feel like he'll start the Clasico after this game, Lucho won't want any rotations given how well we played today

True, had it not been for his age, he would have been celebrated as a fantastic signing. Imagine if he had the same skills and presence at 24 years of age. He would be a bargain.

So what makes this signing "expensive" is his age, BUT if he can keep this up for a few years, he could have a good time at Barca and become an important part of the club. I'm glad we have him.

Also, we must not forget his golazo against Huesca!

 

[KyletheMuslim]

He did good today.....I'm sad and happy because of that

 

[CuleLife4Life]

He did good but now I'm worried he has a consistency problem.
