10 - Lionel Messi - v2

[Kerrybai]

I absoloutely despise people who harp on about players needing a rest every week, according to the numpties on here, he needs a rest every single weekend. You play your best players no matter what, take a comfortable lead, then have the possibiity of resting players.

Go a goal or two down, panic, bring Messi on, risk injury. Seriously, grow a brain. His injury in the CL recently should be warning enough.

Iv'e always been of the opinion that Messi can judge himself how he feels. However there is a fifa week coming up where Messi will play up in the mountains in Bolivia. Then we have a league game on the Saturday before the CL on the Tuesday. Resting him at some stage makes perfect sense.

Even Messi himself will find it difficult to reach the record .

Did you just make that up? Because he isn't.

Goals to the point this year

Messi 18
Ronaldo 20

So ronaldo did score more goals than messi in his record year so far

 

[KhaledBarca]

2013 Stats:
Cristiano 20 goals, 3 assists in 17 games.
Messi 18 goals, 5 assists in 17 games


Not even Messi can score 80+ goals this calendar year!

 

[KhaledBarca]

Messi has 58 goals this season (Barcelona 53, ARG 5) in 49 official games.

Last season he had 53 goals after 49 games.
World/Personal Record: 82.

Possible games (17 to 20): 13 to 16 with Barcelona + 4 games with ARG (4WCQ, no friendlies before 1 Aug with ARG?).

It's tough to say whether he'll surpass his tally from last season for Barcelona of 73. It depends on how beast mode he goes. If he can bag a couple hat tricks before the end of the season then I can see him doing it. I think he'll definitely get at least 65.

Correct, no friendlies.

 

[KhaledBarca]

Correct, no friendlies.

Thanks.

So, scoring 24+ goals in 17-20 games is achievable.
Messi can equal or beat his world record from last season *82 goals*

Wish there were more games for him to grab the league record.

Deak got 66 in 1945/46 in the Hungarian League.

Dixie Dean got 60 in 1927/28 - a record more reachable and more impressive given it's one of the top three leagues in Europe. 21 goals in 11 games will take some effort though, couple of four or five goal hauls coming up.....

 

[Karnivore]

Oh, and with 53 goals, he needs 15 more goals in 13 (minimum) games to break Muller's record AGAIN for a second consecutive season, which would put him just behind the 73 he got in 2011/12. 8 more to overtake Ronaldo's total of 60 last season.

Ridiculous!

It's funny how Baggio parked the bus on the drawing board when referring to how to play vs Barca.

If only I could understand Italian...
