    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    "It seems like every time he faces a stifling,physical defense in important matches,he gets disinterested and doesn't posses the killer instinct of a Jordan to persevere and find a way to lead the team. People can say,well he has won it all so he lacks motivation,but Jordan had 5 rings and...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    Absolutely agree with every word. Every team has a peak, and that has now obviously passed. The sign of a great club is recognising when that peak has been reached and having the guts to recycle the players, regardless of sentiment.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    He was poor yesterday, as were several others. I'd say he's still got plenty of credit in the bank though from any reasonable fan.

    Gerard Piqué

    Possibly, not in the team to score goals though, thats just a bonus if they do. Proper perfomance.

    Missed a 1 on 1. Useless.

    Andrés Iniesta

    Awful, puts football into perspective. Thoughts with him and his family.

    5 - Carles Puyol

    One of the most iconic footballers of the last decade and a half. Absolutely synonymous with Barcelona and everything you need from a captain and a leader. I can't imagine we won't see him again in some capacity at the club.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    It looked to me he was being instructed to play wider on the right, as that was where he appeared most after that. I don't think he'd have stayed on in such an important game, or gone for that one-two with neymar (i think) which could have lead to the third at the end if he was hurt.

    Xavi Hernández

    Having been hired by Barcelona, payed potentially millions of euro, I imagine he relies heavily on advice like this from message boards.

    Copa del Rey 2013/2014

    Time to kill until kick off is the only reason I'll watch the second half. That, and the faint yet ultimately unlikely hope a game of football might break out.

    Copa del Rey 2013/2014

    Dreadful game, Atleti poor. Everyone fall over, give the decision to Real, rinse and repeat.

    Cristian Tello

    I'm fairly sure that's the first time I've heard someone who has scored a hat-trick have a 'meh game'. Plenty more 'meh' games and he'll do alright. Not fully convinced about the kid but credit where it's due.

    Sergi Roberto

    Thought he was excellent tonight. Has a couple of things to work on, just needs to keep getting minutes where possible.

    Antonio Sanabria

    There is never little to learn playing week in, week out at the age of 17/18. That's why the loan system in England works well. At that age, without being something very special, you'll struggle to compete in the top division against players who have played at that level for 10-15 years...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    Can't keep him wrapped in cotton wool permanently. He was always going to be on the end of some strong tackles today and he was deemed fit enough to play 45 minutes. Did ok, tbh I am more concerned that Alexis couldn't get involved.

    Looked a bit rusty to me... ;)

    Copa del Rey 2013/2014

    Two teams huffing and puffing, really isn't much quality on show so far. Atleti will have to play much better than this at the weekend to get anything.

    Arsenal

    I am a Villa fan and you have that slightly muddled up. He started the season in exactly the same form as last, then got injured. Its the first real injury of note in his career and he's taken a bit of time to get his confidence back and be moving freely again. There were signs of that coming...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    Poor on behalf of everyone involved making this public. These things no doubt go on all the time behind closed doors, but they should stay there. Nobody has a right to publicly criticise their management, whoever they are, and you would expect the same courtesy of those managing you...
