    Lionel Messi - v7

    All this gloating for barely 1 half of football against Kyiv. Messi's benefits outweigh his drawbacks. He is the best chance for this team to try and get top 4 this year, and then next year hopefully a new board can start their project, either with Messi or without him.

    Sergiño Dest

    Nice goal. So much better than Semedo (and Roberto too).

    Lionel Messi - v7

    No, I think it is because Dynamo were just going to sit back regardless whether Messi was playing or not. Anyhow, Messi should not have played today because he could use the rest. But this insistence that this team plays without Messi is idiotic.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    If only Messi were not playing tonight, we would be so much more fluid with better shape and more sound defensively. Koeman must take off Messi immediately.

    Cr150

    His physique and fitness has allowed him to age well compared to Messi strictly in terms of goalscoring. Even in other sports, an elite player that is smaller in size does not age well because they lose that acceleration and speed that they had in their prime. It becomes easier for defenders to...

    Harrell is not a good defender in any way whatsoever. Aside from lacking playmaking and lacking a defensive anchor, the Clippers other problem was that both their key bench guys( Lou Williams and Montrez Harrell) both suck at defence.

    Frenkie de Jong

    This boy is going to be run into the ground.

    Bucks get another all star calibre player for Giannis. Curious to see what Rockets do as well after Covington trade. Either they are signalling a rebuild, or they are taking a downgrade to get flexibility with a couple more 1st draft picks that they can package in another trade.

    1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

    Made some great saves today against an opponent that shouldn't have had all those point blank chances. No surprise Barca get blown out by better teams who have much better finishers when this team allows such easy chances.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Looked half decent because Dynamo were losing and had to open up a bit. Situational player only.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Poor game today. Trying to do too much. Seems like he really hates how Cristiano pulled away in CL goalscoring over the past 4 years

    Miralem Pjanic

    Agreed. His performances that season in the UCL got really overrated. I watched those games and was surprised by how much praise he was getting when there were other teammates playing as well or better. He was really good and has a great skillset, but a lot of his success was due to having the...

    Josep Maria Bartomeu

    Wonder how long till they introduce other American sports type machinations such as a salary cap, draft picks, expanded playoffs, and trades. Could see the league getting rid of transfer fees within the league.

    Ronald Koeman

    The football hasn't been as ugly as last season, so thats a plus. Koeman has largely been given the same team as last year without any real gamechanging additions to the team. This is a transition year and I'm fine if the team doesnt necessarily compete for the league as long as he gives...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Son, you need to understand that success rate doesn't stay the same as number of attempts increase. It often decreases. Imagine thinking giving Dembele more of the ball will bring more success given his history of brain dead decision making. Utter delusion

    Lionel Messi - v7

    For the rest of this season, yeah that trio is probably the best option. Beyond this season, idk. De Jong is good, but in a bit of a rut with his role on this team. Pjanic is okay. Depends a lot on Pedris growth.

    How is the midfield nearly sorted? Genuinely asking.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    I did watch the game and its rich to hear from you calling me deluded. I could easily call you deluded for believing that having Messi stick to a position or replacing him would produce better results. There is no real creativity from this team. If we played exactly the way others on this forum...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    I agree that his efficiency is much lower, but its still the best opportunity. All this talk of how Messi shouldn't drop back and stick to his position would just result in another impotent sterile performance from Barca. This squad isn't good enough and built well to allow that.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    None of them are any consistent at creating anything. Pedri has shown a bit and so has Fati, but they are young and still not too consistent. Given how slow this team is and its lack of true world class wingers as well as a striker, Messi is really the best option. He isn't efficient, but its...
