Lionel Messi - v7

[behindbrowneyes]

Setién should rest him vs Eibar for 60 minutes. Resting him a whole game makes him rusty, so give him half an hour. It is right before a tough week with Napoli away and Madrid in Bernaleo.

 

[Vilarrubi]

Can’t really rest him with us being 3 points behind Madrid. Way too risky.

It's Eibar at home though. No better game to rest him really. We should be able to put the game to bed after 60 min.

let him play otherwise he'll break his record for scoreless streak

Exactly. We saw what rested Messi can do last season.

Is that more important than keeping him healthy and well rested?

Anyway, he should start and get subbed off if we have a decent lead.

I'm not talking about resting him a whole game, but rather minimizing his injuries and keeping him fresh.

Latest news about City means that Messi ends his career at Barcelona.

Not that I think he'd have wanted to leave us, but now even the club can't push him out elsewhere because they are no other viable options. Bayern plays in Bundesliga and don't spend big. Pool is set. United spends big, but is a shitshow of epic proportions.

I expect Man City to appeal it and UEFA will probably just suspend the ban and give them a big fine or limit their squad size for future CLs. Man City will definitely fight this to the bitter end.

You were out of your mind if you truly thought there was even a remote chance he would leave for City at age 33. He has his wife and three young boys settled in Barcelona. Leo is not the type of bloke to pick it all up and move to a foreign country with a different culture, language, climate etc. at the end of his career.

The only point I feared him leaving for another European club was perhaps after the Tito and Tata seasons.

I wasn't until he started doing these 1 year contract deals. Dunno whether that was of his volition or the board.

Genius assist, but for the love of God, please bang one in youself soon.

 

[Vilarrubi]

So unlucky atm.

 

[CatalinR10]

ffs messi stop assisting so much messi even if it was a goat assist but messi pls ffs start scoring soon pls

Should’ve done better with the chip earlier in the half, yes, but he is also having no luck with these GKs pulling off one great save after another. Think he might just break the dry spell in the 2nd half, tho.
