@ dv: We don't have anything better than this set of defenders (Pique, Masch, Bartra, Puyol) is what I was implying. Irrespective of the truth of your statement because we all know the short memory syndrom of football fans.

Absolutely immense! He kept our defense like a boss!
THIS! THAT TACKLE on villa!!
Was happy to see Mascherano doing well versus organized and dangerous team like Atletico. Who knows, maybe Pique-Mascherano could turn into a better partnership than we saw last year.
Mascherano deserves a better partner than Pique.
Monstrous performance, he was like everywhere.
Rock solid as usual.
I also like the way he applies pressure before someone in his field of view gets a pass.
still he is the best we have right now.. Kudos Masch
what a player, he eats attackers for breakfast, his pace is amazing, he deserves much better partner than pk, imo hes one of the best cbs in the world but pk makes our defence look like chicken
Lot of people here were bashing him just because he is a converted from midfielder. Blaming him for positioning errors, though masch was saving us on many occasions.
He's comfortably our best defender and a few inches taller or an Ayala-esque leap he would be world class.
