Jeremy Mathieu

LOL, good one.

Are you trying to deny Pique has been a solid rock in the back for some time now?

no. Your hyperbole is something else though.

Clumsy reaction and unlucky for that og. But van der Wiel was left unguarded there so it's more Neymar's fault that his.
Maybe this is why Lucho subbed Ney vs. Sevilla: guy forgot to track back.

It has looked a good few times that Lucho tells the front three to stay up the pitch. If they are just being lazy and not tracking back then Neymar and Messi are taking the piss but I dont think thats the case.


Remember the Atletico game when Lucho almost dared them to attack and left the front three up the pitch. It felt like that in 2nd half.

 

[Jombi]

Mathieu is not to blame. That is for sure.

But opponent RB are not meant to be marked by our LB? Was Alba occupied with other player?

* Still sidn't rewatch the goals.

 

[Barcaman]

Nope. Clearly Ney's man. Re-watch it again.

Have a look at how many times Messis man goes free - Marcelo for example against Real.

Messi and Neymar and not expected to be able to track back and cover the oppostion full back every time it seems.

 

[Barcaman]

Did you re-watch the goal?
And don't throw Messi in here. Everyone knows Messi, more or less has a free role. Particularly in 2nd half when he roams back in center for most of the time.

You can't even acknowledge that van der Wiel was Neymar's man despite noone disputing Neyboy had a good game.

I dont think Lucho expects Neymar or Messi to track back every time and have seen that countless games before tonight. Messi has been like that in games where he hasnt roamed into middle as much like the Atletico game.

It looks deliberate tactics to catch team on break.

If Neymar was expected to track back then fair enough but on evidence of other games it doesnt always seem the case.

It was just bad luck, 9 out of 10 times that ball would have been cleared...

He looked pissed about it and gave his best after that so I hold nothing against him...

 

[StarLord]

He can't stop scoring!!!

On a more serious note, it was just one of those unlucky moments. Fortunately for us it was only after we scored 3.

 

[Pepe Silvia]

Yeah it happens. My support is strong for Jeremy. Best put it behind him and continue playing tough.

 

[FC B]

Shit like this happens. No way Mathieu is to blame for it especially when Barca got 3-1 away...

 

[Antimadridista1]

He's not to blame.
He played well after that and the goal won't change a lot of things concerning the winner of the tie in my opinion.
