Messi at that bullshit plastic club, would be a travesty.

Also declined due to his age. That one on one around the box where he moved in slowmo and got disposed... he would have passed that guy 10/10 in previous years. I know it was just one play but it stuck out for me.

Thought that as well during the game. Its hard to accept this new reality. For years we been fearing the milan/United 2.0 due to the board's constant failing, and now we there. Went from destroying these type of teams 6-0 to 3-1 being a poor performance to struggling and scraping for points to...

Yeah other players automatically look for Messi which slows down the attack. Its easy to regroup for opppnents. Griezmann and Coutinho are too similairas well. Alba and Busquets are the worst with this. Always look for Messi so opponents easily intercept the pass.

Remember when a freekick used to be a penalty to him.

Ever since pep left we been stuck playing his style. Or chasing it. Which always leads to these parked bus matches where we suffer greatly.

I still feel that Pedro goal was not offside. Would gave been messi's best assist ever and changed that final.

Rules are rules! Sigh

You are ridiculous if you seriously compare a goalscorer to a goalscorer who is also a playmaker and dribbler. Football is a teamsport though. When it comes to playing he is not near Messi. He is closer to Lewandiwski, Ibra and Suarez since they are also goalscorers. He got them beat but...

Messi also suffers due to lack of quality teammates. He shines when he is able to pass to a runner or play the 1/2's to get into position to shoot. Likes of Griezmann, Braithwaite, Pjanic, Dembele, Trincao... they are not on the level of Neymar, Suarez, Iniesta, Pedro, Xavi in this regard...

Like expected. Goat getting back at it again!

Unibet odds boost. Exactly, 1.8 is like Madrid at home for Messi not Osasuna. I honestly expect him to score 1/2 today after that little rest and dedicate it to Maradona. If its a goalless lackluster performance once again I will be worried.

Time for a goal from open play. At home Osasuna would normaly be a brace minimum for Messi. I have him to score a goal at 1.8 odds, which is insane for Messi imo.

Ever since that ballon d'or ceremony its been going downhill to be honest. I refuse to believe he declined so much though. Just his heart isnt in it no more. Change of scenery might spark life back into him.

Examples of players who had it?

This game pissed me off greatly. A ukranian team ridded by covid and we scrape by to a 2-1 victory as if its Psg or something. Same slow build up, same lack of movement, same lack of intensity, same terrible high lined defence. You can easily see another train wreck coming. If this was bayern...

Long overdue

I wish they would come out and slam the ref for his pro Real refereeing.

We got screwed over by the ref again. Makes it disheartening to watch. Disgracefull as usual.

You are reaching. Messi needs to rest more at 33. But he is easily capable of putting in 35 goals in all competitions. He just plays for a rebuilding team that barely creates for him. He even played well last few matches.
