Hazard suffers the same problem as he needs the freedom as well and he is no traditional winger. Benzema plays too deep at times and there's little options upfront(less runners) Madrid are alot slower, static, more technically oriented and under Zidane they are more conservative and laid back...

How on earth is that a penalty. Defender literally turning away from the shot and was close to the edge of the box. Serie A creating their own handball rules or what

Pep going for the worst lineup possible, I expect Madrid to go through

Expensive doesnt equate to quality or the right profile though. They even sold Arthur. its more like they want a short term solution rather than please Messi if anything.

Roberto works great for an Ev setup. for Setien Semedo seems like the safer bet.

Finally a great lineup. But due to injuries. Should have ditched Griez and Suarez long ago and experimented with this.

^This. He drops deep and receive passes and theres always someone who can take the ball and pass and drive it forward instead of backpassing. Even strikers like Villa can burst through the wings, dribble players like no other. The hard truth is that players nowadays are extremely predictable aka...

Again, I repeat, no. Not remotely near what you're claiming. Mispassing is a norm in football unless he is going to play extremely safe backpassing in an already slow safe possession state. You are exaggerating to the point as if his passing succession rate is extremely low. In any attacking...

I ain't about distracting, you gave excuses for Griezmann in similar fashion, blaming others for his woes. you are trippin mate. Messi is no where worse than other players from top teams in Europe. I watch players performance week in and out they are nowhere near as special too. Currently...

Zidane got the best out of CR7 and preserving him for CL. Messi on the other hand played almost every single minute especially during Enrique's reign. Valverde did rest him sparringly but not enough but you could see the impact Messi has after a rest, notably performance against Chelsea. If you...

Says the one who said its over for Messi and gave excuses for Griezmann who puts out 1 decent game every 10. never made any major impact during Valverde nor setien era. Clearly this team doesnt have a direct winger, times where we used to have Pedro Villa, Neymar Suarez, Dembele and now we are...

Thats because u have two strikers taking too much central roles, and if there is a right winger who can provide width and take off his load and draw defenders he can easily attack the half space and penetrate. It has nothing to do with him deciding to play farther away from goal. Back then he...

So don't use that. Even Madrid had proper strikers to test that out, yet we have griezmann. And we havent even test out anything else yet to say that thats our only option.

Again, don't try crazy ideas first. Build a legit proper team before coming into any conclusion.

I'm not mocking them, they have better set of players than us despite them being a small team is what I'm trying to say.

Maybe not a full Bayern model, anything like Enrique's team would be more than good. But our current state of team is worse than that of Atalanta.

Every manager would kill for Messi AND a model like Bayern. Our team has no high energy, no system, no pace, no wingers. Any quality players that come here to play a free role would fail terribly. A team is supposed to be diverse and complimentary. Just like I wouldn't want 10 Gnabry in my team...

For some reason, he has a grudge against the so called Amigos and since Messi is included, he will nitpick every now and then. He isn't his best for sure, but still heads and shoulders above many players in this team. Someone being older should have better players around him but Messi literally...

This is why I dont understand why people hype him up once every 10 matches and is allowed so many excuses. He isn't consistent. He isn't quick. He isn't clinical. His shooting technique other than chipping is utter shit. He can't dribble. He passes every ball back. Yes, he is safe passing so "he...

Was decent at best. Would say last game was one of his best but not by barca's standard. Mr play-it-safe will continue to churn out a chip goal once in a while, when he doesnt, will be hailed for his safe passing tendencies. Him being in Messi's role because of their similar playstyle will do...
