Small decline from 2014/2015 in comparison to today But that is not the point! I clearly stated "defensively", not otherwise.

I'd say it again Messi never helps defensively. I never said he doesn't run. When was the last time you saw Messi in our defensive half, not cordinating the midfield?

Suarez charging up the field isn't the same as doing defensive duties bro.

Well when you have a " STRIKER" in Suarez doing his job "staying" up front and you have Messi doing that too, guess what happens?

Thank you for being objective. I have no doubt Messi is our best player by miles. However, the fact that he doesn't help defensively can't be undermined.

I'd rather bring in a bunch of affordable quality players and a WC CB. 1, Nzonzi (Sort out the mess busi and co have going on in DM) 2, Djibril Sidibe 3, Kostas Manolas 4, Bruno Peres plays both RB and LB Get rid of Vermaelen, Lord Douglas, Tello, Matheiu, Arda, Gomes, Paco, Digne (Umtiti can...

Maybe they have been too busy spoon feeding him? . . . Let's be honest he hardly works hard anymore.

I agree with you.

Well thank goodness for that!

Voted Sampaoli but expecting. . .

Kept pushing the attacks.

Our defense is still a huge issue, we have just one solid WC defender in Pique, the rests are either make shift or unestablished. Or in the case of Mathieu out right terrible!

Couldn't have said it any better.

I have to say I love Messi with all my heart, but something has to be done about his lack of defending. Its gotten so bad to the point Ronaldo does more defending than he does. Suarez is the main "striker" so its understandable when he isn't seen in the defense or midfield, but if he isn't...

Messi!

Lets be honest and just say it as it is. Busi has been piss poor for both club and country for about 1.5 seasons now. Getting skinnier too, maybe a health issue? Nobody knows. . .

Umtiti isn't the ideal defender just yet. Makes some slow decisions, passes back way too often which endangers the keeper, late tackles, not aggressive enough. No doubt he has talent and will develop in future, but I think he is just not ready ATM. I dare say, I prefer Malon.
