10 - Lionel Messi - v1

[oggmar]

He did not play bad, what is wrong with you guys? He had some great feeds, and really started to shine in the second half.

There is def something up with him at the moment. For the last three matches his work rate has been shocking and he barely tries to move off the ball or make anything but simple passes.

Could be a few things -
Trying to play more as a play maker to help his intl career
He may be sulking as wants to play through the middle up top
May just be tired since he came back.

Hopefully returns to normal soon but good assist tonight.

What a beast.. i dont recall him losing the ball tonight... solid as steel (aka Abidal) + DAT ASSIST

 

[BarcaGirl]

Good performance, but I missed him up front!
But that pass to Abidal makes up for it.

 

[impeh]

i thought he was quiet. He plays far too deep a lot of the time.. probably told to, mind you.
Popped up for the assist but was pretty quiet overall, much like Ronaldo.
Needs to score more away from home.

He was quiet and didnt participate that much in the game except the goal. I wonder if it was a tactic from Pep putting him deeper in the field though

Even when he has a "BAD" game he still assist a crucial goal!!! What BOSSSSSS

*sigh*

anyway,

no one can comment on messi's performance today. mou had a price on his head. and the madrid players were just pitty teenage low-pants hustlers willing to do anything for the approval of their big man

just ignore it, man.

Price to pay for having a mentalist here, I guess

Fundamental assist to Abi. He might be a little tired.

+ infinity !!

Messi is shit lately in comparision to his normal. Still, he's the deciding factor. That's wonderful, as sooner or later he will be back.

We love to see him more involved. I am more and more thinking its a Pep tactic ... now 3 matches in a row... offc he keeps 3 defenders busy but only works when the ball gets to him.
