Possible explanation, but the thing is he has had some good matches where he scored, there is no reason to act like that. I have watched his goal recently and he is not thrilled he has score and seems frustrated at time which is understandable but not something I would expect from Villa...

I agree, on some occasions there were no forwards and that made it impossible to pass, but also there were opportunities to pass to start an attack but he hesitates. I am assuming that some things are still in his head from the last season with Guardiola, the whatever you do just keep the ball...

I agree that I formulated that wrong, but I as a spectator can see things which show me how they are as a person and their relations to other players by their expressions. A little like the show "Lie to me". I have seen Xavi not wanting to pass Song on several occasions in several matches which...

But I don't get it, how does Villa go from being very happy the season when we won almost everything to being sad after his leg problem. He still scores, but doesn't seem happy. Something is wrong, either in his relation to the players in Barca or something in his personal life. I might be...

He is probably the best buy so far, he does everything. He is great in the attack and in the defense, I love hard-working players who run a lot and do good things. Keep up the good work.

He has become too slow, and insist on keeping the ball. Saw two opportunities for great attack but Xavi kept the ball instead of passing it elsewhere. He has become to passive and not a risktaker, which doesn't work nowadays. HE has skill, I will give him that but he goalscoring passes are a...

Was really annoyed when he passed Xavi and ran past him and Xavi didn't return the pass even though it was clear Song wanted to start an attack. For some reason they don't want Song in the attack, hope the goal showed them they should think otherwise.

Don't want to be the bringer of bad news but did anyone notice how he didn't pass Villa and Villa not passing him. Villa didn't seem happy with the goals even though he was there in the mix, I think he will leave next summer. Very unfortunate, use to love the happiness in the team, but not so...

Yeah, we ended up with insane amount of goals and only 1 title, the Copa.

El Confindenciala reports that Messi might have slapped Villa after the Mallorca game. Apparently Villa didn't celebrate when Messi scored which started a heated discussion after the game whereupon the slap occurred. This makes me sad, used to be so happy and now not so much. Hope they patch...

Why are the pages always bugged on Messis thread?

If that is true then they are really good at keeping a straight face, usually when you dislike someone you can see it in their expression when they celebrate. It probably is BS but stuff like that don't come out of nowhere, there is almost always at least some truth to it, I just hope they sort...

What if Tito intentionally threw the game so that Messi will be forced to play the other two CL games with the best team and in turn get a better chance breaking the record :D.

Seeing that, they had decent chances but anything looks good if you only watch highlights. Still I saw no through balls from iniesta or xavi that resulted in a chance, only 1-2 with messi or ball to alba who then passes towards Messi. I'll take back the "they played shit" but they didn't play...

I would agree on the wall of text but you seem to forget something. This season we lost the ability to pass through balls, no one takes runs and no one passes them. The season with MVP was a season with confidence, strong defense and killer through balls which decimated almost every defense...

Then we have not seen the same match. I saw plenty of opportunities to pass through which the old Iniesta/Xavi would pull off but something was holding them back, guess the fear of losing the ball and then they scoring on the counter with the beyond par defense Barca has at the moment. They...

It also won 5/6 titles 2011-12. The problem is that others aren't stepping up, and that Xavi/Iniesta stopped passing through balls either because they were told or because no one takes those runs which were really effective.

Well, seeing as how they lost the match, not much to celebrate. No one wants to lose and no one wants a meaningless goal to be dedicated for them.

Seriously, not only do I feel bad for Sanchez because of how much he runs and tries but I truly believe someone put a curse on him that makes him unable to score. He did something to anger the football gods and needs to make them happy again. If he would score goals and still keep his work rate...

Did more damage from the right flank than in his regular position, might be a new tactic versus buses. Still want to see more dribbles from him and more shooting from outside the penalty area. He tried at least, which can't be said for some.
