10 - Lionel Messi - v3

[raskolnikov]

Yeah, mostly due to the beginning of the season when his finishing was way off.

Quite a lot

I wouldn't worry about it. He has also scored more than all but 1 player in La Liga. Those who get into opportunities to score most frequently also fail to score most frequently, in numbers. And as DonAK said, many of those were earlier in the season, he's improved a lot since then.

L.E. should try to rest him vs Villarreal, sub him in only if the shit hits the fan. I believe the team is capable of protecting 2 goal lead without him.

BTW Messi's goal was blatant offside

 

[Darko]

Bad game.

Bad game from Leo today. Looked like he was still thinking about the penalty miss.

This was nothing but bad luck in the beginning of the season.
Remember all the post hits? How many was it, 10 in 3 months?

if it was that much then you cant call that bad luck. I call that bad accuracy.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho thinks he is unlikely to ever get the chance to coach Barcelona playmaker Lionel Messi.

LOL. Playmaker

it wasn't

 

[TornAndFrayed]

It was. The defender who kept Messi onside doesn't count, since the goalie himself was behind Messi.
I didn't know about this rule tbh, seems like some players didn't either

 

[linetty]

it wasn't

It was. If the goalkeeper is out there has to be 2 defenders behind the ball and there's only one. Offside.

 

[raki]

It´s offside but it´s not blatant like someone said. C´mon, be serious.
That miss near the end..that was blatant. Could have been 28 Some great passes, Pedro missed an easy one in the end.
