Memphis Depay

[Total-Football]

He was motivated the first 30 minutes.. Than he realised its a lost cause (playing with a dummy next to him) and gave up

Had basically nothing to work with and when he looks up he has Luuk donkey Jong stood offside or running in treacle

That's the lion mentality for you!

Not that Messi or any other attacker looked much better in these kind of games. He was disconnected from the midfield and had no one to play with. Not that he had a great day himself, but Bayern knew that all they have to do is cover him well and we are dead in attack.

Good player and I like him but I predicted Bayern would make him a house cat.

 

[Messi983]

He was saving energy for more important games.

Messi in the previous encounter (8-2) created many chances for others and two good for himself. With a team that lost 8-2. Depay shouldn't be compared to that of course.

People got offended when I called him discount Neymar or Messi. He'll do a job vs other teams, but elite ones will neutralise him easily.

No one has ever claimed he is Messi/Neymar level or got offended by that being said other than if it is irrelevant to anything anyone else was claiming.

 

[serghei]

He actually looked like an off-night Neymar version.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

That is all that Messi has done in the last couple of years. Good vs minnows, invisible vs in big matches. So nothing new with Depay being here instead of him.

You're full of shit mate. Even last season Messi scored vs PSG and was our most dangerous player. Stop embarrassing yourself.

I don't remember whether he played in the home leg, and he missed a crucial penalty in the second that could be the start of a comeback. But he was generally good in that game, it was Dembele who missed about 3-4 clear-cut chances.

He deffo got pocketed today but the scenario was the worst possible one, 50m from goal, no pace in the team and physical freaks like Upamecano and Davies pressing comfortably at half-line, few guys in the planet can do anything in those conditions.
