Re: The Gerard Piquenbauer Appreciation Thread

Very true, but Pique is 27 now, he isnt some kid who needs guidance. Should be long past that stage.

He is an experienced, CL and WC winning defender. He should be leading people and tell them what to do..instead, he is a bumbling fool who I dont even believe competition for a position will save him. More likely, he will complain about being on the bench and want to leave.

He's the only CB I can think at the moment that got worse with more experience Laughing

Zapata seems to regress every season. Other an odd month last season.

Barca fans seem to have forgotten the days of Oleguer and his folleys.

I dislike superlatives, but I have to say that I was calling Pique a bad defender before it was cool, for those with long memories, I started doing it on the old forums in 2010.

He's not that horrid, though, I think some of you guys might be overdoing it.

There is no middle ground in GL. You are either the world's best or a scrub.

Pique getting DEM pitty points even from people who think he is shit. Proud

by VivaStPauli Tue Feb 25, 2014 1:40 pm

Of course he's getting pity points, he's played pitifully for years, and now he's even being treated exactly the way he's treated the concept of defending in football.

by El Gunner Tue Feb 25, 2014 2:04 pm

He used to be good.

Now he is :facepalm:

One of the worst threads I've seen on here and that's saying something.

Puyol! How we miss u Sad

by farfan Tue Feb 25, 2014 5:57 pm

has there even been a lanky world class defender in the modern game ?

seems like stocky guys do inherently better at center back than skinny guys like pique , ranochia etc.....

by EL Patron Fri Jun 13, 2014 9:57 pm

Worse performance I have ever seen from a CB, he is a ghost. Someone check his pulse Laughing

by Donuts Fri Jun 13, 2014 9:58 pm

the whole backline was horrible to single him out is dumb, might as-well bump the ramos/iker threads as-well.

Awful, that's all.

his form this entire year has been more than amazing.
he is one of the biggest reasons we don't concede that much from set pieces

his 1v1 duels are goat
his passes are improving.

Credit to Lucho, he's been good for a few months

Tbf most big games he's looked okay last few years, its just those games come around so little and he's shite against everyone else.

Fantastic tonight though, was like Puyol was next to him again.

Pique has good Tech for a tall Defender but that's about it it. Defensively OK, in my book, but has been defo overrated. It just shows how big a hole Puyol left at Barca.

Stepped it up this year and I gladly take him not being WC back. :coffee:

by futbol Sun Apr 05, 2015 10:01 pm

Can't decide who is better. Prime Nesta or Piquenbauer right now.

by sree999 Sun Apr 05, 2015 10:04 pm

^^^^^^^ LOL He really saved the day .
