Lazy?
Nope. He will start pressing and/or dropping back to the midfield more often when we get someone he can rely on to finish the chances he creates. If Neymar showed up this season I guarantee you Messi will have an unprecedented number of assists and you will see him (and Neymar) pressing more often.
As the understanding in our attacking trio gets better, he'll score more and more goals. Honestly he could've gotten a hat trick today, but he was pretty unlucky on some chances (or just a bit shaky).
He does drop back to the midfield and I like that very much. But don't seriously expect him to press like the rest of the team.
I don't. I only think he will press more than he did in the last 2 seasons.
Tata and the fact that he won't have to preserve his energy that much because finally he has someone (Neymar) upfront alongside him that he can rely on to save the team (which hasn't been the case since Villa was injured) guarantees that.
He had a good game, but never MOTM worthy. Should have been Alexis or Cesc.
Stop with that, JadenStop these are quickly rushed comps and they are terrible. LeoMe55i10 comps for Messi
Why is it just the 1st half?
