About your last point, others can score 20+ goals with Messi scoring 60+. If Sanchez could finish, he'd easily have 20+ goals this season. Not to mention that Messi scored 53 goals in the 2011 season and Pedro and Villa still scored a good amount. This belief that Messi's crazy goalscoring stats...

Pressing is part motivation, but it's a tactical thing too. It seems to me that the pressing usually just isn't in our gameplan these days. And it wasn't just the pressing either. There were other tactical changes like the 3-4-3 formation, etc. Why Tito didn't try switching to it or something...

Could mean anything tbh. Or (most likely) nothing. I wouldn't look too much into it.

IF Messi's done anything. Which I doubt.

Motivation did play a big role, but our tactics in that game were also good, far better than they've been in any other game this season.

I'm already fucking pissed with Tito, but if Thiago leaves... I wouldn't say that he's definitely leaving though.

Yeah. I don't think anything's gonna come out of this investigation in the end (I just can't imagine him doing something like evading taxes), but I'm worried that those things could happen.

Any news?

This might be a bit random, but remember how we played in the second leg against Milan? Why Tito never used the same or similar tactics since then is beyond me.

He's scored goals this season, but he's also had a bunch of epic fail moments. Make no mistake, he is not what he used to be. I definitely wouldn't pay 20m for him.

I wouldn't get rid of both, we need the depth. Getting rid of 1 should be enough. Right now, I'm leaning towards getting rid of Pedro. Valencia defender Jeremy Mathieu (29) wants to join Barcelona and is therefore slowing down the renewal talks with his club. [md rac1] :angry:

I doubt Messi would do something like that. I don't think anything will come out of the investigation.

He was good in the last couple of games for Barca too. Hopefully that injury isn't troubling him any more.

He kept being played before being fully fit/fully recovered. The 2nd leg against PSG, the game against Atletico (which was pointless ffs, playing him in that game was a :facepalm: decision. Had he not played that one, he'd be perfectly fine by now IMO), etc.

This. He'd probably be perfectly fine by now had Tito not played him in that pointless game against Atletico.

Isn't Sociedad's manager leaving though? Plus, I think Deulo would get more minutes with Sevilla. Especially with Navas gone.

He can play there and wouldn't play in the center for us anyways, since Messi plays there. IF we were to go for him, it'd probably be for one of the wings. That document seems like a load of BS though.

He may have more goals, but Messi did get injured. I think Messi would have more goals this year if he didn't get injured.

Martinez isn't crap. He's young and has world-class potential. I agree about the other 3 though.

First of all, not really. Second of all, Messi got injured. Third of all, in the big games where Messi didn't do that well, it was mainly due to shit tactics. Not his fault. The only big games where Messi really did badly were the 2nd leg of the CDR, and the first legs against Milan and...
