Ermmmm..... Sorry but the number of minutes played by both players agrees with me!

There has been talks about batra wanting to leave! If he was better than Mathieu, coupled with the fact that he is the only defender La Masia has produced for a while now, he would have been played more frequently!

Batra is 25 years old, he is meant to be at his peak and he can't bench 30 something years old Mathieu!

Who remembers the Vermaelen - Batra Combo?

Oh tha combo that is sure to not keep a clean sheet

darkenedrebel:


Not in this life or even in the netherworld...

At least you didnt say Bartra was definitely better. They're like 2 peas in a pod but Matthieu at least has experience

Bartra has speed, agility and also tackles better...he also has a potent 20-20 vision...abi you don forget say Afin(albino) no dey see for under sun ...
Bartra is the lesser evil and if I were to be a football manager, I'd field him ahead of Matthew the tax collector...

We should field him more often...

Enrique hasn't given Bartra that same chance,that's the reason I want Bartra to leave this summer,I see his situation being Pique-esque.

Batra and speed in the same sentence? Do you even know Batra at all? I'm not even putting that his battle vs bale into consideration because he was just recovering from injury!
Mathieu is faster than Piqué and Mash!

Earlier Last season, Mathieu was the ultimate 'slider'! He was always sliding and doing it perfectly without causing a foul!

Come on, he's not much of a pacer but at least he still moves quicker than Mathieu...

Asides that, Bale sprints faster than everybody in our squad currently...Alba is the only one I can say is a little bit hot on Bale's heels...

Matthieu is faster than Masherano? hahaha

I don't care if he roundhouse sweeps the ball into the back of the net with his Amy Winehouse teeth...I just don't like his playing style...ill-luck and disaster hovers round his head like a raffia fan...

Gary Neville has been sacked as Valencia manager.

Pako Ayestaran (53) has been appointed as new coach of Valencia, replacing Neville, who was the 9th Liga coach to leave this season

The 9th Liga coach to leave this season.

God forbid!...Patrick Obahiagbon - isn't he that confuzzled cockalorum lummox that forces himself to sound intelligent?

How about Marcus Cicero or the great Descartes Rene that authored the 'Cogito ergo sum'....I'd prefer that metaphor...

Just so you know... Mathieu is the fastest Barça player currently. Yeah, you got that right, fastest.

Alba has better acceleration, but Mathieu has better speed. And of course if you did physics you would know that ultimately speed is better. So, if you talk about a short distance run, then Alba would appear faster, but when it comes to long distance thingy, then Mathieu takes the baton.

As for Bartra, he is not fast. He may be a bit faster than Piqué, but not Mascherano. Aside Mathieu, our fastest CB is Mascherano.

So as far as our defence and team is concerned, Mathieu, Alba and Aleix Vidal are the fastest.

dmcdad:

Patrick tries to bamboozle listeners with Law terminologies that are in most cases throttled by parapraxis, solecisms....oh shït.. I'm doing it again, right?
Do I use Law terms?, answer is no; ergo, our penmanship have no similitude...

I don't convolute consciously though, so it's not my fault. I'm in a kind of environment where words like lateralization and rebarbative are everyday layman's vocabulary...Like that time-honoured adage states: ''You are what you eat''...in my case: ''I am what I hear''

That's exactly what happened between Alba and Bellerin in the second leg. Fear catch me as Alba was left behind.
You are just right about speed and acceleration.

I repeat, you are no different from him.

Probably you don't deliberately set-out to obfuscate or envelope your audience in a state of total perplexity, but that's exactly what you end up doing, at least to the vast majority.

Plus, Pat seldom uses law terms like you stated. He often uses Latin, Hebrew or Greek texts, most especially Latin.

@emboldened...aren't you being hypocritical here? You just bloviated off-the-cuff

The corporeal manifestation of this existential and exponential pharisee-esque hypocrisy is infinitesimally vaster than the promixa centaur ut etiam Alpha Centauri C red dwarfed star and is fundamentally beyond the cognisance of a finite mind..

My sec.school was a minor seminary though...we did Latin instead of French...

Hebrew?... I had no idea he did...

Last I checked...this is a football group for barca fans....pls simply talk football in simple terms...thanks as u become obedient

He got his chance to impress during pre-season, and he failed to impress!
Oya they gave him and Vermaelen chance to play against Athletic Bilbao during Super cup, they both played woefully! Vermaelen redeemed himself by having a run of good games and even got MOTM in one game like that! But Batra still remained where he was!

Sergi Roberto started impressing right from pre-season, if not, na him and masip go always dey among the audience when other players are on the pitch or substitutes bench!

So he does not impress in one or two games and that justifies being benched forever?

Well..Thank God Puyol is his agent,he would tell him what's best for him this summer.

You have said it all. Sergi, having been bashed by so many on this forum, got his chance and made judicious use of it. He's now our Mr Utility.

@emboldened, I wasn't. I did that with a view to helping you come to full cognizance of what you have been doing incessantly. Sometimes I wonder why some homo sapiens choose to put their encoders in a state of sixes and sevens.

For the records, if anyone is guilty of pharisee-esque hypocrisy, then I think it's you. And I dare say that the difference between you and Pat is rather one of tweedle dum and tweedle dee. No?

Please we should all respect oneanother views and statements...and to the Mr know alls this ain't a platform to exhibit your extinctive skills
Keep ur views simple and cool because that's what effective communication is all about
When someone doesn't know the difference between quotation and reference...then its a unique case
Guess lucho trusts Mathieu more than batra...its clearly not rocket science Mathieu is bera than batra tho they have different xteristics n don't play exactly same position tactically...since the supercopa performance batra had...he became 5th choice. Explains why vermalen had more second chances than batra

I laughed loudly at this that day o...couldn't control myself! That Bellerin get speed ah swear!

That's why I don't blame Enrique for still using him as RB even when we have 3 RBs (Alves, Vidal and Adriano). He is just trying all means to give him more minutes as a reward for his hard work and to encourage other players to work hard!
