10 - Lionel Messi - v5

[vlad]

As long as Messi puts in a good performance I don't think the criticism will be too harsh if they go out. I think most people have woken up now and see just how bad the rest of Argentina's team is.

Exactly, if messi puts good performance, nobody will blame him, but if he pullssimilar performance as vs croatia, they he will be blamed

Here's hoping for a big performance from Leo.

I like the rumours I'm hearing of him playing as a false 9 today, especially if it means Sampaoli fields another midfielder in so Argentina can fight for a stronghold in the game.

We saw how Messi walked past Kante in the Champions League v Chelsea, so let's hope the same happens again...

[Barcaman]

It is time, show us again what country means to you what your people mean to you! We believe in you!!

He's shown it countless times. Argentina fans don't deserve him really.

It is time, show us again what country means to you what your people mean to you! We believe in you!!

didn't you call him a coward last week after the croatia game and told him to go home cause he doesn't care for your country and shit ?

Nothing he can do. Never stood a chance with players like Rojo in this team. Shame.

When he plays as a false 9 in 2018, he drops to a Cdm and then there is no one in the box or around the box except two wide wingers.

Imo, playing Messi as a false 9 in 2018 is asking for: not coming to even close around the box.

This tactic could be good for counters but not for when they are chasing a goal.

 

[Raki13]

Messi has no chance here , this squad he has around him are terrible.

 

[FCB50]

match is there for the taking if he goes GOAT mode second half
