3 - Gerard Pique

[Frodo_FCB]

All the media and fans focus is on MSN, because ok its MSN, BUT its not a coincidence that since Pique went to Piquenbauer mode the winning streak began.
He is a key player, no doubt. He was good back then with Puyol, but he wasnt a leader, now he can lead the defense. Im glad he is here, and we can finally say after some years that we have one of the best defenders in the world again.

 

[Egert]

Piquenbauer is back after some years yeah. He is only 28 too, he can play at top level until 32-33 at least, like Puyol did.

 

[Antimadridista1]

He's the one that conceded the penalti to Aguero though, isn't he ?

 

[karthik]

I was laughing when he said during the beginning of the season that under Enrique he can become a great defender again. I thought there was no hope with this guy, but I have been so wrong.

If you call that a penalty

He is looking really good now,and i was one of the biggest critics of his shape...

 

[Siberia]

Is it me or does the guy look faster? He's definitely looking fitter than he used to. Again great game. Its been a long long time since he had a bad game actually.

 

[barcanuck]

His leadership has really risen to a new level. Did you guys notice when Ter Stegen was out of position trying to dribble Aguero and Pique cleared it he clapped at the fans to clap and encourage Ter Stegen.

Is Pique the best defender in the world, based on current form?

Is Pique the best defender in the world, based on current form?

For me, yes. It's debatable though.

Is Pique the best defender in the world, based on current form?

Boateng is for me but Pique is up there with Boateng and Thiago Silva as my top 3.

 

[JamDav1982]

I dont get the hype about Boateng.

Have seen him get destroyed quite a bit in the past few seasons.

Was there not a game against Arsenal last season he was taken off at HT as so bad?

 

[linetty]

Me neither. Pepe and Ramos are above Boateng for me, off the top of my head.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

Then you guys do not watch Boateng. I would probably consider him #1 CB in the world right now.
Now Ryu will come and lay hell on you btw.

Yeah maybe, after Thiago Silva.

People still remember Blunderteng and I don't think a lot of people watch Boateng regularly.
