10 - Lionel Messi - v4

[Kuchi]

Cant seem to get power in his shots. Really poor shooting since he came back, fk not included, as the style of hiting the ball is different

His shoots are really weak.Dunno what hapenned.

 

[El Flaco]

I love Messi, but it's annoying to see him walking in the middle and didn't really bother to switching positions with Neymar or Suárez.

Forum meltdown within 3... 2... 1...

He was just standing in the center for the majority of the first half, not involved due to Espanyol's aggressive attitude.

His fk have been great though (just a bit unlucky) so it can't be a lack of strength.

He's still very useful for us, but we need more. What happened to his shots out of the box!?

 

[NotInHere]

Yeah I didn't see much of him during the second half, he did place lovely throughballs though. Towards the end I did see him in the middle being passive...

Maybe time to accept Messi lacks the endurance to go all out fot 90 minutes. He will only move when the ball is played in hsi feet. Just accept it and focus on Neymar to lead the attack.

thats the only downside of messi, sometimes he looks as if he doesn't want the ball..

 

[Mitchell1978]

Like i said before, he drops back too deep in midfield too often right now.
Other then that how about giving him some time to get back to his best.

 

[6 Ballons for Messi]

Our best player.
That finishing though, seems like last season when he also started poorly with his finishing.

Must be lack of fitness, cause he can't seem to get power while on the move and that to me is pure fitness

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

He had some really nice moments but his biggest trick was the disappearing act in the last 30 mins.
