Had a great career at Barcelona, but I think he peaked for us, playing as a midfielder. Was incredible, one of the best defensive midfielder I've seen

Jwils21 · « **Reply #4601 on:** November 16, 2020, 08:55:23 am »

He was one of those players that opponents must have hated, he didn’t give you a minute. Dwell on the ball for too long and he’d be flying in from all angles. Great player

whiteboots · « **Reply #4602 on:** November 16, 2020, 10:23:04 am »

He is up there in the pantheon of one of our greatest players, with an overall career which was distinguished and remarkable.

Was there ever a player who loved a slide tackle quite as much as he did?

Daniel Cabbaggio · « **Reply #4604 on:** November 16, 2020, 01:59:51 pm »

One of the best DMs there has ever been

Absolutely loved Masch for us.

One of those players who made a good side instantly better. Sissoko was great for us but Masch was a definite upgrade. He and Xabi really gave Gerrard the license to roam about causing maximum carnage.

Speaking of the slide tackles he loved, didn’t do an incredible one on Kaka in the Champions League final? Seem to remember him sliding in from an impossible angle and coming away with the ball.

I think it's this one at 1.07 -

One of my faves. Absolute monster at DM.

His passing was underrated too, mainly because he was in the same midfield as Alonso.

Sangria · « **Reply #4608 on:** November 16, 2020, 04:47:30 pm »

Does this mean he's now a free agent?

Incredible DM and a joy to watch, genuinely made me appreciate the role of a DM a lot more...

And his celebrations were one of the funniest things you’ll see

Genuinely think he was the best player at the 2014 World Cup

Never quite knew what to do with himself, I think not even he expected to score when he took a speculative shot. I think we would've seen actual violence had his shot gone in against Madrid at home in 2009.

I met Masch in Boots in the Trafford Centre in Sept 2008, a couple of days before we beat the Mancs 2-1. He was shopping for prams and his missus had a right cob on, he looked scared to death of her, no wonder he moved when she said so

Wished him well and asked him not to get sent off and he said he'd try

To be honest I'm still mad more players didn't refuse to play for that clown.

Fair enough it doesn't sit well and he admits that himself. But I'm on his side with this. He brought a lot of joy to me. I can't say the same for the then owners, manager and chief executive.

I'd have been scrapping with the lot of them

Zee_26 · « **Reply #4620 on:** March 10, 2021, 02:47:39 pm »

Obviously it's his word so very subjective, but it seems like he was dicked around by Purslow and Hodgson. No surprises there to be honest. There was a video of Hodgson's training session floating around back then and it was just someone crossing the ball from about the halfway line into the box over and over again for about 30 mins. No wonder so many players were unhappy.

With the backstabbing and shite that Rafa had to put up with off them, I totally believe Masch that promises were made and then broken. This banner was well earned

As for training, I remember Reina saying he was being coached to catch a corner and just hoof it downfield.

you know you are old when Javier Mascherano has retired. remember it like yesterday when he was this highly rated youngers coming through at River Plate and now his whole career has come and gone. what a career it was too. top player for us ,Barcelona and Argentina.

It's always amazing to hear how players like Masch and Torres - who won nothing with us - seem to love us best now that their careers are done and dusted.
