Lionel Messi - v7

[FinBarcelonafan]

Messi: "Everything we have experienced since January has been very bad. We have to change a lot of things for real."

Pretty much confirms he was not happy with the sacking of Valverde.

This had to be done though... He was killing us. Players were on holiday 24/7.

 

[JohnN]

He was part of the problem in a poor team performance.

But a good free kick.

You are really insufferable.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

As spoiled as these players are, they liked and respected Valverde at least and it made them put in some effort. Valverde deserves a coin for this but still very worrying behaviour from the players.

Valverde made it easy for them. That's why they liked him.

Of course he wasnt. The amigos loved him as EV set up training, tactics the lot to suit them.

He cant stand the club went against the amigos and worse the one that they had given their blessings to in Xavi didnt come either.

Block me then chief.

His performances might not have been good lately, but those comments in the post-match interview. Damn.. he isn?t happy at all, and I like it. There will be some massive changes no mattter after outbursts like that from someone like Leo.

Lionel Messi: "We didn't want to end the season like this but it represents how the season has gone. We were a very erratic, very weak, low-intensity team? We lost a lot of points and today's game is a summary of the season."

 

[Horatio]

Valverde made it easy for them. That's why they liked him.

Still...makes one wonder how things wouldve turned out if we sacked him at end of season instead of mid-season.

 

[Xaviniesta]

Same as most recently.

Barely moved. Lost ball a lot. Everyone looked for him and he created a few chances.

Good free kick.

Was ok on ball and a massive weakness off it.

too bad the messi fans who can't handle any criticism will still tell you he was great this game

 

[Messigician]

MY goat

Why is he not happy though?

Wouldnt bet against it being that EV was sacked and he and amigos still think with them as core of club Barca are still a top side with right manager.

Would have been the right choice for everyone involved. Also we would have had the chance to get a proper manager, not some cow herder.

Criticism is great and all. But certain people throw all our problems on Messi's shoulders. It's a little too much.

EV stayed as Messi and amigos supported him.

But didn’t Messi already state that we weren’t doing good enough with Valverde here too? Maybe, just maybe, he wants to have a proper coach for the first time since Pep.

Hardly.... have you not read what folk say about Suarez, Bsquets, Rakitic etc weekly?

Certain people try to take any crticism of Messi and make out he being held as only one to blame would be more accurate.
