Lol you know how it goes around here. Even Messi, when he has a "bad" couple of games he had either lost pace, is selfish, uninterested, lazy, unfit or not at the level he once was.
I've seen roller coasters that have less ups and downs than these fans in a span of 90 seconds.
To be frank, he, like the whole team did not catch any sharpness till about the 70th minute.
Ronnie, to his credit had intensity when he got the ball and was attempting to will he team forward and Paulinho was good but thats it.
Neymar himself was playing like a man inhibited and actually not warmed up even. I believe he was a bit intimidated by the occasion. He had similar hiccups of concentration against Barca but that hardly suggests he is unworthy. He has been made to lead world class teams at a young age and we have to keep in mind he won't have that roll at Barca.
The actual problem you all should be considering is how many world class forwards have been shown the door since Pep took over whether they were producing or not. This is a worrying trend. Now Villa, if he doesn't get the chance management are suggesting he will get in he latter part of the season then he too will be out. Alexis may also have a similar predicament. The question I have, will any forward come in to this Barca team play enough, long enough to be deemed worthy of his bill? In a period where a wide variety (in skill and personality) of forwards, literally some the best of their eras, in Ibra, Etoo, Henry and Villa haven't had more than one strong season since Pep took over.
