Just shows he doesn't really gel with this team. I saw plenty of good opportunities to pass to him in a dangerous shooting positions that weren't taken in all the games so far

Oh ya everyone else is constantly running and never walking. I saw aguero doing plenty of walking yesterday

He has a right to complain about the pitches. It's supposed to be a top tournament and the organisation is terrible. Poor pitches and terrible attendances are not something you are supposed to see at a big tournament. The pitch conditions already cost him what probably would've been a goal on a...

Some of you guys go way overboard. He definitely played his worst game of the tournament quality wise but to say he didn't try is crazy. If somebody can find his distance covered to see if it was any different to others please do. I saw him walking today but I also saw him pressing, tackling and...

Absolute rubbish. He still has massive hunger to win things. I'm really sick of this walking rubbish people constantly go on about. Yes he walks alot but he also presses and makes runs at times and has been doing plenty of it in this copa.ronaldo and salah also do plenty of walking and running...

It did work at anfield because he created 3 clear chances. Also it's not as if he doesn't run or press. Do you expect him to do it all game long

England actually looked decent enough in their games but were undone by stupid errors most of the time and Italy just messed up in that one game v Poland. I only saw the first 30 minutes of that game but Italy dominated it and had a few clear chances.

Why because he hangs around the centre of the pitch waiting for the ball more than the other two? He does this because this is where he can hurt teams more and where he is better than the other two so why wouldn't he wait for the ball there alot of the time

You call it laziness Messi calls it saving energy for the things he does best. Does Ronaldo do the same? Yes. Does salah? Yes

His overall play last season was up there with his best seasons. Maybe a few less dribbles but that's probably just one of those things due to circumstances in games. Scoring two and creating five clear chances means he pretty much did his job against Liverpool. Poor management decisions(not...

Just don't be heavily blaming Messi for not winning the champions league. You can blame the management for things like not playing our best team against liverpool in both legs really or for not buying right in the last few years but you should have no agenda against Messi. Every single team in...

Ronaldo does about the same amount of work on the pitch as Messi does

Exactly right. Some people only seem to see the times he doesn't make runs or doesn't press. The reality is and I have seen it plenty of times is he presses plenty of times and makes runs on many occasions both for club and country. I think people see a defender on the left or right with the...

I have to disagree with you. I remember watching a women's match over a decade ago and it was most of the things you described but I have seen a few matches in this world cup and the quality has improved alot. Obviously down to alot of them being professional now. The speed of the game is also...

Don't you mean they don't do those things enough because they both do those things at times

Does Ronaldo do all this defensive work some of ye say Messi is lacking in? No he doesn't

If one of Suarez coutinho or alba put away their chances that Messi created at anfield we probably wouldn't be even hearing from van gaal. We might even be hearing how he doesn't even need to score to be the best on the pitch and how that shows he is a team player

I saw Messi pressing on a good few occasions and also making runs off the ball. He's not going to do it all the time and the times he doesn't ye just seem to notice more.

Yes Messi was below his barcelona standards but he didn't have a bad game. A bad game is when a player does nothing and has bad touches and constantly gives away the ball. Messi created a few chances and played a few good passes and made some good runs but wasn't found on a few occasions so he...

I've said it straight after the loss and I'll say it again if Arthur played against Liverpool we would have been in the champions league final. Either for rakitic or Vidal doesn't really matter. Him playing would have improved busquets performance as well
