Pathetic. Messi is criticized after every game that's not a GOAT game and for everything else off the pitch. Ugly tattoos, stupid haircut, shitty clothes, clothes not formal enough etc. etc. Also, don't make me mention the state of Messi's thread during Tata's Barcelona. That wasn't even criticism most of the time, just pure hate.
How about the Mbiwa incident, people defended his although it was pure stupidity from Messi.
And I don't care about off the pitch, It's on it what I'm talking about. Nobody can say a word of criticism against Messi even when it's justified, while there was an actual discussion that Neymar took too much time and took an unnecessary touch on his goal against Getafe...HE FREAKING SCORED AND PEOPLE COMPLAINED THAT HE TOOK TOO MUCH TIME!
And last season some of the criticism was justified, Messi did cover less miles than Ter Stegen in games against Atletico, did he not? Of course, there are always morons that yell "sell" after a bad game, but those cannot be taken seriously, but whenever I see someone saying Messi had a poor game by his standards or that he was average he gets attacked. It's a growing trend with more and more people becoming Barca fans because of Messi, and I have nothing against that but I miss the old days on this forum when there were only a few unreasonably biased guys like Hatem Ben Arfa and Dalitis.
