Lionel Messi - v7

[Ritchie]

The goals might come if he stays up the pitch. Yeah he's missing chances but Ronaldo misses 7 chances to score 1. The difference is he always gets at least 7 chances in a game because he's always in the right areas. Messi still tries to do too much,

He did well at times tonight, but I do get the sense he doesn't trust his teammates all that well. Not surprising, when most of them are fucking up easy chances most of the time.

He has been fucking up chances just as bad if not worse for a long time now. Also didn't look like he doesn't trust his teammates at all, generally fed the right player, be it Pedri or Dembele.

So selfish.
Continually dribbles into traffic instead of making obvious passes and he Loses the ball too much these days

You can count on one hand the amount of times he lost the ball tonight and he's losing it trying to beat players not giving away stupid passes. That piece of skill and dribble on bonucci was unreal

 

[Alik]

he was bad. giving the ball easily away on too much occasions

lol

MOTM.

Should have had 3 assists.

Some nice vintage Messi dribbles.

Nice Penaldo.

 

[te amo barca]

Let's hope Messi scores from open play vs Alaves.

 

[SmilerBam]

Some nice touches, nice dribbles, nice passes.A good match for him.I don't understand his finishing tho'.It is off since the restart after the pandemic.

 

[Horatio]

How was he selfish? Yeah he took some shots himself but also set up others on plentiful occasions.

 

[kadeng]

lol

nah, its rather sad

 

[fergus90]

I thought it was his best performance for a while.

 

[FCBfan22]

Great game apart from finishing and few moments of being selfish.

Pretty much sums it up. Way more involved than usual.

Bingo. He played more advanced and trimmed down his moments where he wanders deep. And he suddenly took more shots and could've had a hattrick. And guess what, the midfield did fine without him interfering all the time.

 

[malvolio]

Needs more chemistry with the players up front. An inteligent striker would also help. Right now he has the best understanding with Busquets and that is not helping our attack.

 

[feggydinho]

He tried today, but I hope this is his last season with us. We need to start rebuilding with younger players
