10 - Lionel Messi - V6

[Pedro]

Played better without him.

 

[Messigician]

I think he needs to play CAM if he INSISTS on playing this deep and central.

Suarez
Coutinho Messi
Rakitic Busquets Arthur
Alba Pique Umtiti Roberto
Ter Stegen

Played better without him.

Bad then and bad now. See no difference other than a team who is taking their chances and us not being lucky as usual.

 

[pregra]

Don’t understand why he insists on playing when he clearly is very handicaped.

 

[Luftstalag14]

I don't blame him for not being 100% as he is not, I blame him for not even trying.

 

[Nothanks]

how has he shown his injury is a handicap.. he dribbled past 4 players in one motion, twice already he needs match fitness not more rest

 

[ThwiX]

Think he has been trying quite hard so far, especially in the 2nd half.

 

[ThwiX]

Ice cold pen and an amazing pass for that Vidal goal. After almost a month out. Not bad at all.


Edit; well, he did his best in the second half to get us a draw at least, but Raki and ter Stegen didn’t want any of that. Gracias.

 

[pregra]

At 50% he was our best player by a mile.

 

[ThwiX]

Bunch of people who still haven’t learned that they need to stop coming here with their knee-jerk conclusions during the break like he is some kinda washed up passenger of this team.

 

[KingLeo10]

Bunch of people who still haven’t learned that they need to stop coming here with their knee-jerk conclusions during the break like he is some pensioner.

most are CR7 fans like [MENTION=21723]Pedro[/MENTION] and [MENTION=22794]MessiTBE[/MENTION].

no worries though, papa perez will make sure they'll disappear in december.

 

[DonAK]

Let the wrist slitting and overreactions commence, let by our very own court jester, Pedrito.

 

[pregra]

Even though he was our best player, I still don’t think that arm is fully healed. A two week break now is ace.

 

[te amo barca]

Our players become pussies once Leo is on the pitch. They pass to him in all situations, even when there is a far better option. Everything goes through him again, nothing happens without him again. This is the recurring theme of the last two seasons. Today was not the game to start him. His lack of defensive work really cost us today, the pressing just didn't work.

 

[BarcaMessi]

Roberto RB, Raktic and Busquet can NOT cover for a walking Messi.

Semedo, De Jong and Busquet may be able to cover for a walking Messi.
