10 - Lionel Messi - v3

[serghei]

Well , he kind of did last season , and the season before that.

No he didn't. For every good goal it is a good pass that precedes it. Take the 2009 CL Final for example. People talk about Messi's great header, but few noticed Xavi's incredible cross that led to it.

The ambition of the entire team has dropped, I believe Pep said he couldn't motivate the players anymore. The hunger for trophies begins to die after you win so much I guess.

Which is perfectly normal really, these things go in cycles, it was clear back in 11-12 that the team had issues in defence and the board has done nothing in 2 years and these issues have only gotten bigger.

If we'd signed Thiago Silva and kept Thiago then we'd be in an entirely different situation. It's a tale of two Thiagos.

I agree. Especially Thiago Alcantara, I miss him so much.

No he didn't. For every good goal it is a good pass that precedes it.

Wow, belittling Messi's achievements has really reached new heights. At least now I'm absolutely certain what your agenda is, so I won't bother taking your statements into account for a second.

If there's one scorer that statement almost entirely doesn't apply to, it's Messi. Enjoy.

Lol. Kinda impossible to ignore a cross in a header goal. I agree with Stric. No problem in criticizing, but that's a whole new level.

He got his usual bashing in the chat. I only the second half but in a game where our tactics were stone age I think he did well, easily our best attacker. He tried hard today.

 

[ThwiX]

He wasn't even that poor today. Our best player after Pinto.

In what he was best exactly??!

 

[BarcaGirl]

If anyone dares to blame Messi for today's loss as well, I will cut you bitch!

He was one of our better players tonight.

In what he was best exactly??!

Nothing, but the rest of the team were shit.

 

[NotInHere]

The first half he was non existent, he played a good second half though, being more involved.

9 succesfull dribbles tonight...

lol

 

[oggmar]

He did well tonight, as did most of our team unlucky result

 

[Flavia]

He ran and tried a lot today. Still it won't help, if the team is bad as a whole. Tactics, gameplan, the psychological aspect... everything is bad right now.
No one can even score. So much close chances tonight, from Neymar and Iniesta... It's a really bad patch.
