10 - Lionel Messi - v2

[Mr Hulot]

I know it is only two weeks since he last played, but I have missed him very much! Nice to see him back on the field...

I know he's Messi and how good he is, and he could pull off something amazing to win this game, but he might just MIGHT be a bit rusty and has a poor game.

Lets wait and see and stop putting our whole success on his shoulders.

We need all 11 to play well and hope Leo has one of his Beast nights.

 

[KacaK]

Common Messi,show us why you are the best in the world !!!
Visca el Barca y Visca Messi !

Pretty much right so far.

He has looked short of match time and not up to speed.

The other 11 havent been great and as many want. Leo cant do everything himself.

If he is now injury free and was on Saturday then he needed 20 minutes there to get into the zone.

Not even playing with 12 men helps Barca

He doesn't look 100% yet. So I guess playing him saturday would've been a risk.

 

[Kerrybai]

He looks alright to me, there's simply nothing he can do if those around him are been dominated. Football is a team game at the end of the day.

 

[BarcaGirl]

He's clearly not fit enough. Starting him in this kind of match was a mistake.

Absolutely... What's the point of playing him if he can't even run?

You don't need to run when your whole tactic surrounds around giving passes to the back and sideways.

 

[BarcaGirl]

Messi should learn from this defeat. Don't force yourself into the team when you're not totally fit.

 

[evilhita666]

Hahaha... Well yeah, that makes sense...

 

[Jelboo]

Where were you, Lionel? You weren't even "okay". You were bad.

 

[BarcaGirl]

I'm glad he got the green light, but I think we shouldn't expect something special from him tonight. He just came back from an injury.

Hope I'm wrong though.

I called it.

 

[Frejsgodes]

Choked. Plain and simple. We needed some Messi magic, and he didn't step up.
