10 - Lionel Messi - v2

[Darko]

Messi looked frustrated by the end, nobody was finishing his gorgeous passes and if he tried to do it himself he'd get triple teamed.

+1
one more reason to play Iniesta in midfield

Hopefully we see a lot of rotation next week, I think Messi could do with a rest, especially with a game against Sweden midweek.

True, I'll be happy with Roura if he lets our youngsters play. Tello, Bartra, Montoya and Thiago all need playing time to become great players.

I agree. This guy could do with having a match off BUT:
Next fixtures:

Barcelona v Getafe

Granada v .Barcelona

AC Milan v. Barcelona

Barcelona v. Sevilla

Followed by two El' Classico's

= "He isn't getting any rest soon." However they could drop him at the Granada match. What do you guys think?

Messi needs to score against Granada, Celta vigo and Sevilla to equal CRonaldos record .

Getafe at home and Granada shouldn't be too much of a challenge. Some players need rest for the big game against Milan. Then, we could rest a few players against Sevilla. Sevilla are, of course, a tough opponent, but we can't risk dropping out of the Copa just to get more points in La Liga, as, let's face it, the league is already decided, whether we let some players rest or not.

This guy can't play bad even if he tried to

Scoring 1 goal in a game IS a bad game for him

Valencia did an awesome job on him & played very very well.

What's this "beast mode" everyone always talks about?

What's this "beast mode" everyone always talks about?

It made a brief appearance when he scored the four goals but since then has gone back to hibernation...

 

[darthvader7888]

What's this "beast mode" everyone always talks about?

What Messi will be once he's in form. He's still doing well, but not his best, yet at least. I obviously don't think (like some people seem to) that he's conserving his energy on purpose or whatever. He's just off-form. Still doing all right, but he'll be doing better once he's on form.

 

[footyfan]

So basically "beast mode" = on-form? Then he had already been in beast mode from October to December?
