Getting there. Play him more, so he learns from hims mistakes and see what he is made off. Not as if we have a choice anyway.

Aww man, this truly sucks. Why does it have to end this way? Hoping Victor a speedy recovery. Knee injuries are one of the worst. Also, the damn knee may never be same if not done right.

or maybe he is just doing what he does best? I do not think a reasonable player deliberately decides their quality of play. Every one has a bad day in the office now and then.

Underestimate in at your own peril. Write him off at your own at your own expense. I have never lost faith in Messi. Ever. Best player we will ever see in a while.

+5. This was collective failure. 2nd and 3rd goals conceived had nothing to do with Messi, even if all what he has been accused of is true.

I think we should start collecting some statistics here so that people will refrain from knee jerk reactions. Messi's off the ball movement has not been very good for a while now and not this game alone.

Agreed with some of what you've written but let us not forget that Pique won all of these medals with Puyol besides him. Puyol provided that strength, agility, focus as well as the additional attributes required of a Barca player; finesse. I cannot see this team relying on Pique as the main...

Interesting. I can understand if some cultures take offense at their celebrations but this does not justify a whole game sit out. I think Al ex was being rested.

The whole team was a mess. Busquets too. Song is a good enough backup for Busquets but having him play in front of Bartra was a tactical mistake I think, especially given his poor positioning.

U kidding right?

Valdes cannot be held accountable for any of the goals. Sure he could have done better but you have to give the opposition credit too. Ignoring the defensive lapses, those were great finishes.

What was offensive about Dani's goal celebration anyone?

Yup

Montaya is not Barca starting material. The quality is not there.

Yup. Dani, Dani, Dani, my man. This guy for me is one of the sparks and icons on this team, along with Messi, Puyol and Valdes. His outside of the foot long range passing is simply outstanding.

Fab is awesome. Good sense of humor.

Ran into this YouTube video on Messi, which I could not resist sharing. Just brilliant and shows how lucky we are to have this guy on our team and in this footballing era. The music, selected clips and commentaries are just phenomenal...

I have a similar problem on my left knee and it is PITB. Once injured and not allowed to heal properly, a joint gets to this state. Since he is not getting younger, I am afraid that we are seeing the end of Tarzan as a permanent Barca player. Otherwise, he risks getting arthritis.

I concur on Busi. No so sure about Dani though.
