Nobody Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Empty seats in the Emirates after holding one of the best, if not the best team of all time for 80 minutes. Spectacularly pathetic. English football in general that though, far from exclusive to Arsenal. It's ridiculous though, I'd stay just to watch Messi, Neymar and Suarez play together.

Foluwashola Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Only saw the 2nd half but Arsenal played reasonably well. Barca just absolutely devastating. Shame the 2nd match is now meaningless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I remember hating Flamini for doing something against Newcastle but can't remember what? Scored a stunner with his fight foot from about 2000 yards. His fight foot is much better than the one he doesn't use for fighting to be fair.

Village Idiot Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 By the way, extremely telling that Lucho didn't make any sub tonight. It's pretty clear he doesn't trust anything from the bench when facing the big boys, I just hope their legs don't fall off when we get to the business end.

joeyt Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Just seen the Juve-Bayern highlights- love how everyone who has ever watched football knows exactly what Robben is going to do when he picks up the ball and yet he finishes it with such ease Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astroblack Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I've said it a million times, Masc is class. One of the best players around. Glad you've said it loads, he'd be a total unknown otherwise. He's scrutized on here quite a bit. I'm also a big fan of his tackling and diagnol passes. My two favorite things to do.

Village Idiot Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Mascherano is great for us. He gets a lot of stick as a CB but truth be said we miss him a lot when he's not there. His recovery and tackling skills are unmatched in our squad. I think he's one of the best tacklers around to be frank. Him and Piqué complement each other well. Problem is that beyond that we have a lot of dross in defensive positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I can't say that I've seen him scrutinised on here mind. I think aside from being weak in the air, he's an excellent footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that would work if every team was Barcelona. Yeah, a CB with great recovery is exactly the kind of CB we need alongside Piqué. We push up our defence a lot, so we need a pace-ish CB to deal with counters and long balls over our back 4. Him and Piqué complement each other well.

The College Dropout Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 LOL most centrebacks make more headers in a game than tackles and interceptions combined. Mascherano's lack of ability in the air would make him a weak link in any other side at CB. He's a fantastic player though aye. He spends most of his time in midfield positions on the pitch (high line) anyway. Archetypal centreback should be able to handle everything thrown at him. Strong in the air, strong, quick, agile, read the game, strong in the challenge, organises, can bring the ball out, spot a pass, a leader etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
