Great to see Abi doing well. I hope him a full recovery but doubt he will be back in full form.

I do not know why they keep blending the red and blue. Looks to me like some gradual attempt to turn the darned thing into one color. Just bring back our classic jerseys.

Yes, he has had a dip in form but regardless, he is world class. We simply cannot let Dani go. No, no way...... this is one of my favourite players on this team.

Shitty day in the office for Alves today. Why was he on the bench? He definitely made a chance to the game when he came on.

one of the only guys with a decent shot.

Crappy day in the office today but my boy Messi but he is still the best.

and there lies the problem.

Because some of us appreciate his positive contribution to the team so much that the one or two bad touches he makes is irrelevant. Like someone already stated, he is behind EVERYTHING we do going forward, even when in "bad form". When was the last time Xavi made an assist and Iniesta for...

+1. Go look how many bad touches Xavi had yesterday. Thiago was handing the ball over to Madrid all first half and some of the second half. Luckily for him no one his gifts translated to a goal for Madrid.

Give the kid a break. Not every single touch has to be a good one as he is human you know. The guy is heavily marked and of course there is also the element of fatigue as you mention. Again, others should step it up.

Thank you. :worthy: I cannot believe some of these ungraceful comments. This Messi kid has dragged this team all along to this point and folks have the guts to complain about sloppy play. Tell your other team mates to finish their chances.

Question is why were Xavi, Iniesta or Thiago not doing their job? How long is he supposed to wait up field for the ball to get to him? How many runs does he have to make only for Xavi or Iniesta to think twice before passing the ball? Folks are holding the ball longer than neccessary. Maybe...

Then we just circulate the ball in our half. Messi comes deep to get the ball so that we can move forward and this typically happens when we have been passing the ball around in our half to no availl. Atleast this is what I have noticed. With Iniesta wide, Xavi passing left and right and of...

if we take our chances.

You mean if others do not step up? U expect Messi to do everything?

:worthy: on EVERY word you just typed.

yes, especially the 1 vs 1. I have noticed Xavi's shots all curve towards his left. If he adjust that a little, he will pop more of them in.

yea, I am sure a lot of us can make 126 lateral passes. How many long range passes in the forward direction did he make? I mean thrusting passes.
