3 - Gerard Pique

[-_- RandomUser -_-]

He was shit, but thankfully we have Umtity who is rock solid. Hope he picks up himself later in the season.

 

[Galning]

He was very shaky indeed. Bad game for him.

 

[xXKonan]

Looks slow and unfocused out there. He could spend some time on the bench like Lucho to get his ass back into gear.

 

[Givenchy]

Can anyone explain me why this fish must play in our squad?

hes more turtle than fish but i get your point

when we had Puyol around he wouldn't let Pique play like this and become unfocused, he seems more interested in Milan fashion shows and twitter these days.

 

[xXKonan]

Think Pique is fortunate that Alba and Semedo and Umtiti have pace to bail him out if he makes a mistake.

but it doesn't mean he should be relying so much on his teammates due to that reason. he needs to get that 2014/15 form and focus back.

 

[Lelouch vi Britannia]

The ability is there. It always has been. It's his mentality that's questionable.

Again, not too worried about him in the long run. Worst case scenario Valverde will have to bench him for a few games like Lucho did.

 

[Alik]

Worst case scenario Valverde will have to bench him for a few games like Lucho did.

That's a good-case. Worst-case is he keeps on starting matches even though he is playing like crap.

 

[Truthist]

That's a good-case. Worst-case is he keeps on starting matches even though he is playing like crap.

Well it helps if your Catalan, outspoken and can live on past reputation.

 

[Lelouch vi Britannia]

That's a good-case. Worst-case is he keeps on starting matches even though he is playing like crap.

True, Valverde better have the balls to bench him if necessary.

Thing is Pique is still huge for us in aerial challenges, back in 2014 Mathieu could do that but right now a Mascherano/Umtiti partnership will lack in that aspect

Show me where Umtiti has lost in an aerial battle.

 

[FCBfan22]

He needs to stop camping in the opponent's box after corners or just randomly in the game. Especially if we don't play Semedo in RB, because that leaves a highway on our right side. Watch some corners that we have. Both CB's are in the box. If there is no cross, Umtiti immediately returns back (as all CB's should), while Pique stays for another minute. That leaves Umtiti, Alba and Semedo in defence, which is fine, I guess. But if Semedo is not there, that can be a big problem.

 

[Messi983]

He started to play badly when you promoted him to the President.

Remove that title from his thread name and he'll start to play like the old Pique again.

 

[FCBfan22]

He desperately needs some competition for his spot other than veteran Mascherano and Vermglassen to motivate him. With his current form, if Big Sam gets injured (god pls no), we are in big trouble. The only thing that makes Pique not look so bad right now is Luis Suarez, who is beyond trash.

Even presidents should work, at least give a fuck.

Bench Pique, start Umtiti and masch... Pique needs to be benched to regain his form
