Mou, res!
Look at the Jurado's chance one on one with Mats, where was Umtiti at that moment?

Samuel as LB is unconvincing. He is fantastic in tackling, but his marking is still not on the desired level, also looks uncomfortable at the wings.

They'll be the best CB duo in La Liga soon, if they aren't already.

He hasn't had a reasonable number of chances to say he is unconvincing there.
I go that far and say he is the king of adaption. Look at his first games as RCB. He really struggled (for his standards) there in his first games, but after a few games he did well as RCB too. Give him 5 games as LB and I'm pretty sure he will impress everyone.
Highly speculative though. As we struggled for years to find a quality Puyi-replacement we won't move Umtiti to the LB-position now that we've found one.

There was a time when Piqué didn't look focused on football and this was the time we were searching for new captains. Piqué himself recently said in an interview that he lacked motivation after having won everything and even considered to end his career with 28 or 29.

Because Barcelona always base it on seniority. If only they based it on leadership, Masch would be the captain after Xavi but they gave it to the quiet Iniesta.

Iniesta does get some respect from the refs, though... Something Piqué wouldn't get due to his big mouth...

Masch deserved it more when Xavi left though.

Samuel was the only one who curled the ball in all shots. No wonder he's the only established starter among the contestants.
