10 - Lionel Messi - v1

[Cal-FCB]

Was very quiet tonight, didn't see too much of the ball. Osasuna dealt with him very well. LOL at him kicking the ball away.

 

[Necro Spaaw]

hit the post, heh. otherwise.. idk. had better games. the ref was a pain in the ass, tho. i understand messis reaction (kicking the ball to the stands) altho i don't condone it.

 

[barca96]

he was tired obviously....

and was trying too hard. should've been taken out.
ibra, henry, pedro and bojan could've handled osasuna by themselves

Not typical performance by Messi, of course. 4 games in two weeks even for legendary Leo is too much :s

 

[jairzinho]

why leo played the full 90 mins..? i really don't know...maybe Pep is afraid of playing without him. He didn't look that sharp tonight and should have been given some rest. but then again its something with pep.. he just doesn't believe in the whole resting thing..but leo deserved one. he's been carrying us on his shoulders for the last 3 or 4 matches..we can't expect superman performances from him all the time.

He dident suck! He just wasent his brilliant self but then again the whole team dident play at their best. Xavi was missed aswell!

No he didn't suck. He seemed a bit tired to me. Like i said earlier, if we think he's going to be superman for us in everygame we need to forget it. the kid needs a break.

messi didnt score...feels so weird .. lol

He is very tired you can tell. But he did hit the post if you remember.

 

[desoe]

He surely shouldn't play against Bilbao. I'm not saying Mallorca, because we will probably need him there. But we should be able to handle Athletic on Camp Nou even without him.

p.s. my personal opinion was that he should did not play today, too. I think it was obvious why.

A tired Messi is still a fully Fit CR9....

 

[Aasim]

Maybe he was tired or maybe there was a lot of pressure on him with all this greatest player ever talk going on. He's going to have to get used to it though..

 

[Messialdo23]

Messi is a genius even on a bad day!.....I feel he maybe a little jaded with all the talk, after all he is a humble 22 year old!

He simply plays the Barca way, end of! Iniesta, Xavi, Pep (In his playing days) Cesc (Even at the gunners).......they were taught from an early age at La Mesia how to keep the ball and how to PLAY the ball!!......Its beautiful, fluid....its BARCA!!
