This 2nd half has been pretty much a disasterclass. 2020 really hasn’t started well for him. Was trash vs both Espanyol and Valencia as well. Fecks up in so many situations we are not used to; poor touches and taking the wrong decision more often than ever. Strange...

Great first assist, couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo in front of goal though. He's in a poor run of form by Messi standards, hopefully resolved quickly.

At this point,he'll be lucky to hit 30-35 goals this season.Which is still great,but far below his standards

this was truly an horrific shooting performance, these pathetic central powerless shots, can't believe what I've seen.

Got fed so many balls in his favorite false 9 area as well btw. I hope he regains his form, he is the only consistent goalscorer in our team now that Suarez is gone.

Still cream of the crop world class and can decide games in a instant as we saw with his two assists tonight, but he is not an alien anymore.

His current level is not that of a GOAT contender and there are increasingly more drawbacks that he brings.

No 50m contract beyond 2021. He needs to take a paycut, otherwise letting him go and starting a full rebuild would not be a bad option.

think ive made my mind up now. seen this long enough now.

i dont think arthur , rakitic, vidal, de jong will ever be good enough for barcelona to be playing this so openn attacking style.

any other team with decent strikers will score 4-5 goals against barca defence in a match like this.

they just will not replace xavi iniesta so they need to give up this high up the pitch line type football as they cannot play penatrating passes while keeping possesion.

its just a gimmick of retaining posessation stats for no good reason at present.

ONve they get ahead 1 or 2-0 against shit teams they need to sit back so deep and draw teams onto them and then counter them. They are just wasting energy every match for no reason.

They are shit. Always will be with these shit ass midefielders. Arthur and dejong are a joke.
