    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    No, Messi as CAM is a terrible choice as shown in previous matches. Him being in the center makes him easy to track and marked by the horde of defenders. Many teams have figured that out and will always find ways to stop him. He should stay upfront as a "RW" but still function as a full false 9...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Some things to note tho about the Ecuador match. Messi didnt drop deep as often as he did in previous matches. Which is a good thing. Looks like Sampaoli instructed him to wait for the ball and his clever lack of movement (Not laziness) made Ecuador players hard to track him and Messi exploited...

    But they were considered lucky in terms of avoiding all the big countries like Germany and Italy. World Cup will be a whole new different story with a more likelihood to face Spain, Germany or even Brazil at an earlier stage. Portugal has gotten much stronger and better chemistry with players...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    I think he's putting all his focus on the World Cup. If he doesnt make it again, most likely he will leave Barcelona. The future of Barca with Bartomeu is looking bleak, and is gonna be putting too much load on him to carry. Once Iniesta retires, I think hes gonna leave. Besides, he won...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Typical Messi haters and doubters hiding now. Talk so much crap on here and where are they now? Act like some football experts and pundits on his "laziness" and "lack of movement",; he's been doing the same shit for years, he's saving energy for the magic in the final third. Fact is he is...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Thing is even if teams sit deep, Ronaldo has a far superior height advantage that Messi doesnt have. Players can cross in and defenders will panic, causing a helter-skelter. Defence will stretch as they want to prevent them from crossing. In Argentina, the aerial threat is almost non-existent...

    Lmfao. So u want him to make runs CONSTANTLY(off the ball), at the same high press, chase, and win the ball back, dribble and create something(something his teammates wont do), pass and cross to his blockhead teammates, try to score by being present in the box very often, at the same time drop...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Messi is Messi but when people expect him to do everything in every match is simply ludicrous although he has put up such performance in the past. He isnt young anymore, his teammates needs to take more iniative and step up. Furthermore, people seem to forget that South American qualifiers are...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Considering how inept his teammates are, Messi's pertormance is already considered good. Some of the most dangerous chances were started by Messi; I literally dont see any other players making a dangerous pass or creating as much space. Except for that miss which was intervened and deflected...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Like I said "clearest of chances". You dont have to get all defensive just to show ur superior knowledge of the situation. In Barcelona, he usually takes a couple of good shots before he could convert. Same goes for any player. Im not saying Messi had the best of games, but overall he did well...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Simple, Argentina played a very defensive game and Messi was clearly isolated against a whole horde of defenders. Higuain and a few others were gifted with the clearest chances yet failed to score. They were naturally defensive, players like Mascherano are bound to shine. Messi on the other hand...

    Argentina lack fast wingers and good fullbacks. They might have all the "talent" in the world but they are not in the right positions. Whether or not Messi is in the team, I dont see this team producing anything. Either they need a hell lot of luck or change their entire tactics. Theres simply...

    Lliga | Round 7: FC Barcelona - Las Palmas 3-0

    Aleix Vidal is terrible. Clueless af, a defensive liability as well. Without Semedo or Dembele, we lack alot of pace. Suarez is just frustrating to watch. These problems are bound to catch up on us in the CL matches.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    If ths space gets too tight, they can always pass back. Until the defence opens up again then they can pass to Leo again. Tats how they played against Juventus, they dont always tussle with the defenders, they only attack when space opens up and opportunity presents itself. Messi in the...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    I really hate to see Messi playing the same old way as he did last season, trying to lead all the attacks, passes and dribbles. It shouldnt be this way. Im not seeing the tiki taka in the TEAM, its like everyone is trying to 1-2 with Messi. Pass it to SPACE, not Messi. How hard is it to...

    Lliga | Round 4: Getafe CF - FC Barcelona 1-2

    There is. One guy called JamDav and a few others. Go check the Juventus vs Barcelona thread. it was before the match. I kinda argued with him cos he was alr so satisfied with the win over Espanyol. He thinks we have a very strong squad and our worries were over exaggerated. I told him no.The win...

    Lliga | Round 4: Getafe CF - FC Barcelona 1-2

    I just said we might have a better chance. Theres no guarantees of cos. Its better than we go on a win streak esoecially after the Juventus match. Socis are dumb as fuck u didnt know that?

    Lliga | Round 4: Getafe CF - FC Barcelona 1-2

    But its still okay to lose this match. I dont give a shit abt La Liga title. Think about it. We can win this match but this will mean Barto and his dogs have more chance of seeing their term extended for few more years. Or we can lose this match and show the Socis that we still have a fk ton...

    Lliga | Round 4: Getafe CF - FC Barcelona 1-2

    Deulofeu is equally terrible. And u simply cant play Roberto as RB. Thats a big no no. I watched the match slightly late, I tot I was seeing things when I saw Roberto running on the right hand side. Its okay if we lose this match. Time for socis to wake the fk up and see the madness in our...

    I'm gonna think it's slightly more, and hope he did also collect signatures from elsewhere. But the fact that we won 3-0 against Juventus isn't gonna spur the Socis much, although it is important to note that problems in the board (behind the scenes) is far more disastrous than how the first...
