10 - Lionel Messi - v2

[MrXavi_The_Midfield_King]

Truly blessed to see Messi, I still remember him as the youngster that would one day become one of the best in the world, I knew he would fill the "New Maradona" tag I just did not realise he would rise to the top so fast

How many games are left in 2012? And how many goals does he need for the 100 mark?

 

[aki13]

2 Games left. Ath. Madrid & Valladolid.

He is on 88 in Official Games.

He is on 99 in Total Games including FR & Benefits.

As stated a page or 2 back.

 

[PearLBLacK]

Oh, I was hoping he'd reach the 100 mark in official games only. But at least 90 would be good as well.

Thanks

 

[Barcaman]

Pearly, are you changing coats?

 

[XaviMessiGirl]

One of us! One of us! One of us!

 

[Paganinisrvnge]

Even diehard Madridistas have to admit that our generation is blessed to watch Messi play every week.

 

[PearLBLacK]

One of us! One of us! One of us!

Hell no! Just love what he's doing, very remarkable

But I hate, loathe, abhor, detest him for terrorizing Iker.

Yeah, pretty nice reaching the 90 mark. Ronaldo has a long way to go. He's being outdone.

La Liga: Last season after 15 games - 17 goals (1.13 goals per game)
La Liga: This season after 15 games - 23 goals (1.53 goals per game) - if he can maintain this ratio than he'll hit 58 goals by seasons end.

All Competitions: Last season after 24 games - 27 goals (1.13 goals per game)
All Competitions: This season after 24 games - 32 goals (1.33 goals per game) - if he can maintain this ratio than he'll hit 80 goals by seasons end.

Messi has now scored in 11 of his 13 away games this season in all competitions... in the remaining two away games he had 2 assists in each game

I think it's because as a whole Barcelona are performing much better in away games this season, last season was a bit iffy, this season it doesn't matter, I wonder if it was anything Tito did to change that

Not much has changed, it's just Tito is using the 4-3-3 to start games instead of forcing a 3-4-3 in games we don't need it.

But the problem you'd expect from using 3-4-3 when you don't need to is that you'd give up more goals. Barca has been giving up more goals this season. They just are scoring more, which is not what you'd expect from using a more defensive formation.
