Very true, shades of 09 on that one. Reacted very well, didnt think he would be able to effect the play when someone as quick as Martins had that space.

Of course you do, you must keep the myth going.

He received a nutmeg in the 1st half, and he slipped in the second, but his game was good and what I meant is that he is in good physical form, and that's important for a player big like Pique.

tbf he's not fast.
it's that on his day his positioning and anticipation is really good and compensate for his lack of speed

He isnt fast, but he is faster than I think people think he is.

Or more accurately, for his size, he has pretty decent mobility. There are many guys than size (or smaller) who are slower...for example, Fontas.

I would say his acceleration is slow but pace is fast.

When it comes to defenders however acceleration is a big factor.

TBH I didnt think Pique had a great game.Decent but not great.
For starters there was one Levante setpiece(corner or FK not sure).We cleared the first ball.Everyone pushed up except Pique.The second ball was played in and Pique was playing the Levante player onside.Fortunately he missed.And the score 0-0 then so it could have proved to be a costly mistake.Then there was the nutmeg and the slip before the penalty.He should have cut that out easily.So dont think he was that good.
The reason our defense is better is because of Puyol.He adds leadership and organization to our backline that Pique cant even come close to replicating.

free_cat wrote:4th injury in the leg biceps for Alves this season. So many muscle injuries usually point out to inadequate rest and diet (party + alcohol). He should focus and take care of his body, he is no longer a kid.

Fortunately, it's only an elongation, barely an injury.

I watched the game but couldn't really follow it cause I was paying more attention to the elections. Seems iniesta had a great game and Messi scored two more goals, and the highlights showed a great game from Valdes. Nice.

Have thr been any reports to indicate that Alves is leading the party lifestyle?He has always struck me as a thorough professional.Maybe he is just unlucky with injuries right now.

There's been rumours, nothing very credible, however as he divoced from his wife and now he is having so many injuries maybe there's some truth. However, as you say it can also be bad luck.

Free_cat and Alex agrees with me. So there must be some truth to what I said imo.

Puyol deserves his credit to, but to be fair I could probably pick out errors of his too. Such as a cross that came in where he completely missed the header and it feel for a Levante player in a dangerous area.

I dont think Pique was great, he didnt have to be considering how the game was. But I am sure him coming back into the team (Puyol also but I think Pique came back first and has played more minutes) and the goals we letting in decreasing isnt a coincidence. Thats all really.

No, they dont. Neither of them said he had a poor game.

As I said Pique has been guilty of it quite a few times this season and it proved costly against Bayern.
