    Lionel Messi - v7

    Of course not because he was probably one of the better players over the course of the 90mins; a good positive 45, followed ufortunately by an increasing drop in performance as the 2nd half wore on and he became tired, which really wasn't surprising. These low block barriers put up I suspect...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Look mate, if you want to use the last 6 yrs to beat Messi, you've outed yourself. :lol: BY all means cal him out this last 12 months but agai, he's been the one real bright spark, albeit only flickering occasionally, in an otherwise dysmal season and a half. I really don't think you're...

    Sergiño Dest

    I'm not going to argue with you that Messi isn't performing how he used to in seasons gone by. But to say Messi is '...offering almost nothing to the squad', is laughable, it really is. The stats tell you otherwise and hell, even an objective eye will tell you that he's the main creative force...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Top post. I applaud you for having the energy to put it down in type. The continual narrative from a group of posters on here has the effect on all those who disagree or see it differently to the point of siply not bothering to couteract the points. Kudos.

    Jordi Alba

    He had one to AG with ball to near post in six-yard box vs the Hungarians, Dembele in same match with similar cross but to middle of 6yd box for MB. MB scored from a header (from rt side) and then a pen vs kyiv.

    Sergiño Dest

    Okay, fair enough, can't argue with havig someone to work with in attack. Although I'll say this, by overloading the left & centre he was often left with space on the wide right with opportunities to attack his man, which I'd thik is a good thing with his qualities. Of course if we're not...

    Jordi Alba

    Right, here's Alba's options when he gets teh ball down the left: - Pass back, or inside two metres to coutinho for him to pass back or two metres inside to Grezmann. :lol: - Bomb on and put in a rasping, curling ball across the 6 yard box hoping someone might get on the end of it, or one of...

    Philippe Coutinho

    He can't beat players off the dribble, I'd be surprised if he even hits the target half the time from cetrally (as opposed as to his preferred left of cenre position), and as a playmaker, who is going to run either side of him, lol, like Messi or Griezmann, or Trincao, Martin might but really...

    Sergiño Dest

    :lol: Total waste of resources having a 34yr old tracking back and forth down the right flank, especially the only real offensive weapon the team has. He hardly ever did this, even in his prime, not going to happen now. Previous managers in the main employed Rakitic, Vidal, Roberto etc to do...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    I see the usual suspects have turned up with their fantasy takes! Bogus stats and references to football-playing grannies. :lol:

    Lionel Messi - v7

    :lol: It's a lot of waffle about nothing, philisophical bullshit. There are about 3/4 teams that press consistently and even they don't do it all the time. :lol:

    Lionel Messi - v7

    It is tiresome BS. Just go and google Messi vs Cadiz and see if he doesn't care, or didn't try. He was doing everything that's expected of him, running in behnd, creating with the 2nd best player on the day, Busquets a great chance for Braithwaite (excellent save!). Created the goal...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    That's a blow for Dembele, and the team. He looked like he was coming onto a bit of a game. Hoping for a quick recovery. There is another downsideas it means a another reprieve for PC, hope he takes advantage.

    La Liga | Round 12: Cadiz - FC Barcelona 2-1

    +1 A good level-headed post to a statement of fact regarding the squad from the OP. Just a pity that folks on here are losing their shit over players that aren't the problem.

    Frenkie de Jong

    Forwards ahead of him, every single one of them (based on starters yesterday), their first instincts are to converge on the penalty spot. :lol: :lol: Total clusterfuck!

    Antoine Griezmann

    I barely recall his presence in the second half. Do any of Barca's wide #10s leave the middle half of the pitch. At least Dembele tried to make something happen albeit in a game where space was a premium and not articulalr suited to his abilities. I mean Messi gets a lot of stick for slowing...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    The System doesn't work because of the personnel recruited don't fit the system. It's a broken record. They've, the players, have been ad-libbing it for 6-7 yrs now.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Considering Barca are an elite name in European football, this squad is poor. Folks can blame Messi for that but the ability of these players generally to create anything against even average teams is minimal. Only other player that created a good chance yesterday was the much maligned and...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Ball was there for a left-footer. But you're right he didn't have a great 2nd half at all.
