Messi will get a lot of shit because he is our best player, but this wasn't an underwhelming Messi, it was an underwhelming Barca. The whole team was poor.
There was no desire, no guile or ingenuity. Our passing was poor, our 6 second rule was left at home to the extent that there was no pressing whatsoever.
Still though we are only out of a domestic cup... still 16 points ahead of Madrid in the league. On the plus side the management should now know to change things against Milan to give us a chance.
He clearly has lost all motivation. He doesn't give a single fu*k anymore and completely disappears against big teams. The only thing he cares about is, how many goals he's going to score against Getafe, Deportivo, ....
I'm seriously pissed and I'm praying hard, that CR wins the Ballon D'or next year. Maybe than Messi is going to wake up.
Exactly.I don't see how you can distinguish between Messi been underhwelming and the Barca team been underwhelming. It's a team problem. Everyone up front was poor.
The highlighted part is quite frankly ridiculous. You can not possibly say that with a serious face.
It's a team problem. Barça's been underperforming since Tito left. The insistence on doing the same thing, and expecting a different result also is not helping.
It is not the fault of the new Coach it was Pep who sold all our strikers and Defenders in favour of midfielders
How the fuck is he goin to tell messi not to do the same thing he has been doing before? Which Pep let him do. Will messi listen to him?
The moment Pep put Messi in the middle and started selling all other goal scorers he planted a time bomb which just blew up
Put 2 decent wingers that can beat a defender 1on1, they will drag some defenders from the center and Messi will flourish at his false 9. Mark my words.
