10 - Lionel Messi - v3

I'm worried about his overall form. Really bad timing for bad form, Messi. Wake up!

He might still be in pain. He's not resting, and he doesn't look 100% yet. It's worrying, but no much to do.

It just pisses me off when we rest CBs (who can play whole season without rest anyway) and pretty much everyone else, but not our most important player. But Messi is also at fault here. Him pushing the club to let him play in every match is ridiculous. I don't believe he will be subbed today, even if we lead 4-0. Let's grind him to the ground.

Messi's dribbling is affected by his injury. He gets dispossessed more often today. He'll be fine.

Great goal, but other then that not his best performance. Doesn't look very motivated.

 

[ThwiX]

Better be his injury. That was just not the GOAT that we have seen the last months.

 

[linetty]

He would be rested but we're too reliant on him. Wouldn't see us winning without him today, even though he was supbar.

Hope his subpar performances are only because the aching foot

Oh no, lets sell.

Oh no, lets sell.

Lol, man. I'm literally the last one here that ever would suggest something like that.

 

[Gamegod]

Weak performance, atleast a goal.

 

[FCBarca]

Definitely not 100% and we can only assume it's the foot - even looked a step slow tonight

It could also be that hes (by his standards) subpar performance is not because the foot is still aching but because of the training he has missed being out with a foot injury. Not all dip in form can be turned around by not playing. I dont know why he hasnt been completely godly today, but he is still a massive player in this condition. Some great passes and that goal...

 

[Kohe321]

He was clearly pacing himself in this game. Perhaps his foot is not 100% yet either, who knows.

It's funny, the Messi vs. Ronaldo thing seems to be something that the media, fans and Ronaldo care about, not Messi. Had he really cared about beating him in goals, he would not have played at 20% effort like this

 

[TornAndFrayed]

don't want to sound cocky and all, but wasn't it clear as day that messi wouldn't be ready for the celta game, and that him playing it in spite of his injury + midweek game was never going to be a cool performance by his standards ?

Classy goal though. Real nice.

 

[Darko]

Horrible game apart from the golazo and the pass in the end, lost the ball countless times.

Exactly. Which is why I hoped he would at least be subbed out. It's ridiculous how we'd rather prolong his recovery, instead of making sure he's ready for the toughest month of the season.
