He never will, and it's pissing me so much off that I can't even watch our games anymore.
i actually think Mascherano usually plays really well and reads the game amazingly
of course he has his fair share of mistakes sometimes, like any other player. but i find him as close as it gets to Puyol.
having said that
Bartra is as close as it gets to the amazing Pique we USED to have.
although, Pique had a nice game today. Mascherano was brilliant and as always intercepted many attacks even before they started.
Bartra is younger then both. he should just wait patiently and i can just pray that soon enough we will see him replace Pique. (or even Masch from time to time)
