Watching him play, convinces me he might actually have a higher ceiling than busquets just because he is faster and is better at spraying the long balls.

Messi was injured = it doesnt count :lol:

Only reason i say that is because we don't play players in his mold anymore as he is an out and out winger, not even a Neymar/Deulofeu type that can play the wide-forward role, so promoting him would be a waste if he's never going to play.

adama to be our Alves fix?

Honestly dribbling wise he's the first i've seen thats close to how messi was at that age, but making the jump from great player to GOAT isnt something you can just do if you ask me, its basically written, like no offense but no matter how hard Ronaldo trains you can just tell by watching them...

Anyone who thinks messi has lost pace need only watch him tear Hummels a new one in the world cup final.

But he can do those things as a CDM, like he did for Argentina against Holland. He's fast enough to cover more of the pitch than Busquets and that will help to free up Rakitic, he also doesn't need to move up too high up the pitch since his game is mainly long balls over the top as opposed to...

It would be funny if we turned the world's best striker into an assist man :lol:

We saw it against PSG, and to our players (Messi and Iniesta especially) it's like breathing, they did it as if they were breathing. I rather us continuously try to score like that than go down the wings, the wing play should be sporadic not the one touch plays.

They're angry he won the Golde Ball as opposed to one of their players probably.

Idc about the Balon 'Dor that much, but i want messi to score a wonder goal ala Getafe when he was 19 or in the classico semi final in 2011, everyone keeps on saying things like messi can't do that anymore, or that he isnt fast or whatever but he did it in the world cup only thing is he passed...

Adama? do we have any cms that need first team mins aside from samper who isnt going anywhere?

Speaking tactically, Am i the only one who thinks that Suarez and Neymar provide all the width we need? Atleast when we dont play a parked bus.

He misses everything easy and scores a lot of hard chances nowadays, its pretty weird.

While iniesta is playing a Double pivot of Rakitic-Mascherano or Busquets for either one behind him would be needed although defending wise for the wings i rather Mascherano and Rakitic and they are both great with long balls from deep. Messi dropping back to help iniesta initiate attacks and...

Meaning that one league result doesn't make a season, its more of a retort to people already discussing new managers.

I don't like that he played injured tough, I would've rathered we played Suarez down the middle than risk hurting him in a game that wasnt a must win (Classico or not we're still top of the table)

Maybe its because alot of Barca fans only came in after 2008 but they always go apocolyptic with every loss/draw as if barca has ever had a perfect season.

This thing is all mental, he's had these problems before, maybe its added pressure of being the captain or the world cup is still haunting him but his abilities have gone no where, physically he's perfect he can do everything he used to (IF you ask me he's better at the tempo thing than last...

The fact that he is always given corner duties suggests that the coach trusts him to do the right thing with them. I'm sure if there was a problem Emery would have cut the slack immediately.
