Lionel Messi - v7

[gasgas]

Would this formation be possible. Using Neymar and Dembele to cause havoc with speed. and Messi/Griezman being like the iniesta/xavi, sitting back a little.


Neymar...........................Dembele




......Messi..................Griezman....





.........Busquets..........De Jong.......





Alba.......Umtiti...........Pique..........Semedo

But neymar is a PSG player

50 odd goals, 20 odd assists, carrying a team with a bunch of statuesque has-beens in our starting 11, with an absolute garbage for a coach too boot, means fuck all apparently....


Robbed.



The only thing I can fault Messi for is his protection of the sacred cows. He's letting the team's performance be affected by his loyalty to his club de amigos.

In reality he should have a legacy that it would be stupid to even compare him to anyone, but in 50 years he will be remembered like some bumnaldo level guy that stepped up once in a while.

like there's any Europe in 50 years, or even football for that matter. LOL. in 50 years kids will play dead-rat-ball in their underground shelters

Man is not worried by real problems so much as by his imagined anxieties about real problems.
Worrying is missuse of your imagination.

Just be happy about today you could be dead tomorrow. No need to be so pessimistic in life!

Even van dijk deserved it, its hilarious to see messi as the contender and not winning it. Its like everybody in the room knows that messi is outstanding player, like head above rest and you could just feel it, they all know, they all know they are in presence of what might end as the greatest player of all time, and ronaldo with that cheeky bullshit diner things is just trying to hop on leo train, he knows he isnt on that level.

Well, I also think that was a funny way to put himself on the same bar with Messi...he knows he can.t be above him anything he does.

Messi was better than Van Djik over those two legs though. He scored 2 goals, laid numerous chances on a plate (even in the 2nd leg) and he's not responsible for how his team defends. He was by far the top scorer in the CL, far better than Van Djik in the competition overall (van djik should have been banned after that horror tackle vs Napoli) and also won his domestic league with an insane amount of goals and assists, pretty much carrying them to that title.

And yes, they were missing two players .. but as a side, Liverpool are far better coached than Barcelona are right now. They rely less on individual assets like Messi, that and it was a fluke night in which everything went right for them and everything went wrong for Barca. This happens in the champions league, it's an unpredictable bitch of a competition and individual awards should never be handed out based on one off knockout games. Messi tore up the whole competition and had one under par night and apparently that means VVD had a better season. Ok??

Look, again these awards mean very little .. but we're not seriously arguing Van Djik played better than Messi did this season, right? Like who out there is consistently watching both of these players perform and thinking Van Djik looks better?

(Rare truthful post from redcafe. Hopefully the voters for The Best and Ballon d’Or find their senses in time)

What a pity that a quote from Redcafe is amongst the best posts here regarding Messi and the Ballon Dor. Meanwhile here we have people doing cartwheels of joy that VVD won the award because non-dictator Messi didn't rat out Valverde and force him out of the club.

 

[bismp]

Is he playing against Osasuna?

 

[Tackle]

Is he playing against Osasuna?

No, Valverde said he isn't sure he will even be available for the match against Valencia after the international break and the goal is to have him ready for the first CL match.

 

[serghei]

By the looks of it, the idiots rushed him because they kind of panicked a bit after the Bilbao loss and he had a relapse. Basically there's two injuries here imo. The first one and the second one when he was back in training with the group while he wasn't fully recovered.

 

[Alik]

Nah, man. Messi is just an idiot for not letting the medical staff know he wasn't ready to come back.

 

[Messigician]

Messi is on strike to put pressure on the board to sign Neymar imo. The injury is strange as he was spotted training separately from the group today.

If he is training he is at least ready for the bench no?

It sounds crazy I'm sure but this injury is very fishy
