10 - Lionel Messi - v5

[Mitchell1978]

Unlucky but finishing was off too. Needs to recover his sharpness, starting to think the relative lack of games lately probably hurts him in term of sharpness.

 

[Dan1983]

Has hit the woodwork more time than Espanyol has scored goals this season.

 

[sickstar]

At least one of his woodwork attempt created Paulinho goal. Let's hope all the luck is kept for Madrid. Anyway, Barca is still undefeated this year (except the super Spain ones).

Awwwww Messi !!!

He had the chances tonight to spoil CRonaldo's day after they won the World Club yesterday with Greaseball scoring the winner ..... Messi hit the woodwork four times , missed a penalty and another 4 or more decent chances .

If Messi and scored 4 or 4 or whatever I'd have been so chuffed

 

[ronniecro]

you could create video compilation of him hitting the woodwork that would be longer than ronaldos dribbling skills,so unlucky today

 

[Givenchy]

he was so unlucky today, a few poor shots but on another day he'd have atleast 4. I loved the determination from him today and that run near the end where he burned past that defender, he looked frustrated at the end of the match which can only be a good thing with Madrid coming up

 

[Kohe321]

At the end of this season the mere sound of a ball hitting aluminium must give him PTSD.

He played great. Loved the intensity and will he showed, and his physical form seems sharp. Can't wait for the clasico.

 

[Horatio]

Didn't score but had a great game. Also again showed he can still outrun quite a few defenders.

I also thought he was brilliant tonight. Only tough luck and some poor finishing prevented him from scoring loads.

 

[BarcaOG]

really really unlucky today. phenomenal other than that

 

[DonAK]

Saving up those goals for the Clasico.

 

[Kohe321]

Seriously, how many goals would he have scored so far this season if just 50% of his shots that hit the posts actually went in?

 

[khaled_a_d]

Was bad by his standards, unlucky with 3 hit in the post but some other bad finishes. Seem it got to his head and was a bit selfish in some other plays

Thought he was good by his standards. Better than a lot of games where he did score. Was one of those games where he was the easiest to pick out as man of the match.

Hopefully he finishes his chances next Saturday! Give me a hat trick
