Messi has really declined or he was so poor today, almost all Barca players were. Slavia really out played Barca today to be honest

We won't win with some of our players being so lazy. The distance covered is shocking. CL is built for teams that play with relentless pressure with or without the ball.

He was average today bar the goal. Same issues - just walking, no off the ball movement, taking De Jong's position and forcing him to go wide, constantly trying to make his buddy Suarez score... ffs we are gonna be destroyed once again in knockouts.

Awful 2nd half, sadly. Got some serious blind love going on when it comes to Suarez. Puts him through with brilliant passes 4 times just to see him fuck it up = no reaction. Poor Dembele, who has just been subbed on, can’t find the right pass = shaking his head while gesturing towards him.

Wasn't good today, but he obviously gets a pass. He performs in like 95% of his matches, so 1 bad match every now and again isn't bad. Besides, he wasn't the problem today.

for how much does he get a pass though? i mean, sure theres moments of magic but its becoming less and less as he ages.. also him dropping THAT deep when we have Frenkie, Arthur etc in midfield.. i thought thats why we bought Frenkie??? he doesn't have the speed to make those runs anymore

hes the only player capable of scoring right now it seems, Griezmann is lost and Suarez no idea wtf hes even doing on the pitch. Messi needs to play further up and let the midfield work it out

this club de amigo thing with Suarez also has to stop, i loved his speech at the start of last season but how the hell does he think we can win a CL with this oaf?

Our best player tonight as well, by a mile. Was involved in every single chance we created and looked like the only one capable of controlling the play under pressure.

today he lacked sharpness that's all.

Scored a goal , and should have had like 2 assists considering he set Suarez around 4 times.


If I would critique him , it would be because he's giving a pass to Suarez's utterly disgusting performances every fucking time.

Oh, I know Messi was our best player tonight. Even a below than average Messi can still be dangerous.

I liked his pressing in the first half. Great finish for his goal, he looked better physically tonight.


Shame he slipped just as he was about to tap that one in in the second half.
