Flip Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 It's a shame. He was voted in the CL team of the year and Copa America team of the year but didn't get in this one. The guy is probably the best tackler I've ever seen. Excellent, but do you think he'd fit as a CB in any other team? He'd play DM for most teams, but he's not really a CB except at Barcelona. Guess that's not a reason too diminish what he has achieved at the position but don't really think he's a top 5 CB in the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Based on 2015 performances, I'd have him in the CB spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Mascherano at say CB in the PL would be found out massively. He plays in a side that dominates possession in a league that is slow paced. Imagine him in our back four... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 He's class but he shows constantly for Argentina he's way better in the middle than at the back. Only problem for him at Barca is Busquets is more rounded in that position than him and perfectly in tune with the Barca way which he is not when he has played there.

ponsaelius Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I think he's a fantastic player Mascherano. In CB and midfield. And I'm somebody who's not normally sold on players of his ilk. A phenomenal timer of a tackle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye Barca struggle to actually control games when he's in the middle instead of Busquets and it forces Messi far too deep. Great player though even if his skill set isn't particularly suited to the way Barca play as a midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Mascherano at say CB in the PL would be found out massively. He plays in a side that dominates possession in a league that is slow paced. Imagine him in our back four... Every La Liga game I see is played at break neck speed. Athletic vs Sevilla the other day was back and forth quick as owt. A lot are like that. It's less physical strength which helps the pace of games.

Mole_Toonfan Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I'm shocked to see that I wonder if he blames himself and it's just a in the moment thing, we'll see when the WC comes around i suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Now that Messi has gone on record with his intention to end his international career, several of his long-time international colleagues could follow. Sources have told ESPN's Diego Monroig that Sergio Aguero, Javier Mascherano and Lucas Biglia are also planning to retire. Additionally, Ever Banega, Ezequiel Lavezzi, Angel Di Maria and Gonzalo Higuain are also considering their international futures, according to multiple reports.

Disco Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Loads of the players are fucked off with the amateurish running of the AFA so it's probably not as much of a surprise as it would be normally. Messi had a pop at them last week on social media. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messi had a pop at them last week on social media. Apparently Aguero said "several of us are considering the same thing " as usual there seems to be more than this it initially appears. Kind of expect them to be all be back for the WC tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
