Lliga | Round 34: Alaves - FC Barcelona 0-2

[soul24rage]

man I'm always nervous whenever Alba doesn't play. Let's get that win.

 

[Ripsta]

Why the fuck does this cunt always bench Messi when he rests him? If he wants that fucking safety net there then start him and take him off when the team are winning, otherwise it's a bigger risk bringing him on when the team fall behind.

When you have a high-value employee like Messi, you do tend to go with what he wants. Messi wants to be on the field late in games, he likes going against tired legs. No reason to piss him off by pulling him for a sub.

He rotated so props. But why didn't he play Bob on the left so Semedo and Dembele could play together. Valverde always manages to frustrate me somehow

 

[BruceWayne11]

Hmm, he should play the full 11 for this game and rest EVERYONE for Levante...

Yeah I do tend to believe its what Messi wants. For done reason I think ge a d Suarez ae well find it degrading in a way to be subbed off.

I think that's what will actually happen in the game. The line up above is simply someone's rendition. Itll be Semedo + Dembele on the right and Bob+Cout on the left.

Hope this doesn't mean Messi plays the whole Levante game. Better if he's subbed on it that as well

I doubt he will. We'll most likely destroy Levantel, so you can take Messi off after 60 minutes.

60 minutes is too long with Liverpool 4 days later. Playing 30 tonight and 30 or less from the bench saturday would be best

 

[Vilarrubi]

Expecting a tough game most likely 0-0 at half time. If we play well away from home without Messi and others it'll be a surprise.

 

[BruceWayne11]

How hard can this be? Unless Messi is too tired right now; play him today and rest vs Levante. Sigh so hard

 

[clemente]

With Messi on the bench there hasn't been any other scenario last 5 years to him being subbed in 2nd half to rescue us.

 

[gasgas]

Arse.

what's that?

If he doesn't start against Levante, he shouldn't play there at all. Subbing him in, when not properly warmed up just 3 days before the biggest game of the season is just asking for trouble.
