10 - Lionel Messi - v1

What happened to this thread? Why does it have extra pages that do not load? Some posts got deleted, I assume?

No... it seems fine to me. Which extra pages? Here is the 1472 to me, the last one.

I have had that forever, it says 1473 for me as well although when I press 1473 i get redirected to 1472. Only happens when one page is 1-4 posts from being full.

Yup, it is present now. Might be something wrong with chrome and this webpage.

I've also experienced this since I first joined. And on other vBulletin forums, as well. The last posts are actually on the second-last page (1472 in this case).

EDIT: OK, now I see this post of mine on 1473.

"Messi gained the most nominations in the original vote, announced on August 14, while Andrea Pirlo, Xavi, Iker Casillas, Didier Drogba, Petr Cech, Radamel Falcao and Mesut Ozil made up positions four to 10."

Source, numbers?

(I too have always had that "next page problem")

The issue I have with Messi these days, is that his dribbling hasn't really gotten better from maybe 08/09 or 09/10. Of course, he can't dribble as much as a few years ago, due to the number of matches and the toll that would take on him. Also, he has elevated other sides of his game greatly, thus reducing the focus he had on dribbling in the past. What this means though, is that, although we see more consistent, direct impact in terms of goals, assists, we rarely get to see those long runs where he dribbles several players. That was perhaps the most appealing part of his game, at least for me.

Another thing that is affected, is that when his dribbling is really needed, in big games, it isn't sharp enough, oftenly. Perhaps I lay too much importance on dribbling, but in tight games, I think it's really important. Last season till today, his dribbling has seemed a bit sloppy compared to previous seasons. He's still the best dribbler in the world, and his productivity (goals, assists) is aaamazing. I just wish we could see more of his best dribbling!

I can't believe you are saying this! Wow! Look at the two champion's league finals games in 2009 and 2011 against Manchester United. Tell me that you honestly believe his dribbling was better in 2009. I see his dribbling getting better by the season. I suppose if you are winning the most trophies in a given season than people generally assume such things. What about his goal against MAdrid 2010-2011. Or his run from half field against Bilbao in the 2012 copa del rey final.

I hope, Messi can show us tomorrow, that he should have got the UEFA award.
If Messi plays well till December, he can win the Ballon d'Or.

Messi will break Pelés record of 75 official goals in a year, again. As he has now 58 goals this year and he'll break it in october. Then, again and just in time, they will remember how overwhelming gap there is between others and Messi.

How many games has Barca left in 2012 ? Maybe he could reach 100 goals in a year.

25 for Barcelona, 4 for Argentina. If he continues this form and plays every game, he's currently projected to score 98 goals 2012 official games, so 100 is definitely possible.
