Means he scored 15goals out of those 43goals as a substitute..
You don bellyful?

Why do you keep replying when a simple "k" is enough.

With due respect,even if Pythagoras wake up today and explain summation to you,you still won't be able to solve 1+1.

But our Midfield is not creative. We need Messi to come deep before we can create chances.

Brilliant match and scoreline. Happy for Griezmann.

GrammarNazi1:
Guy, no injure yourself.

Our midfielders are not creative enough at all.

FirstbornWds:
Lol. Messi doesn't drop deep because he likes it. He does it because our midfielders are not creative.


During the times of Xavi and Iniesta and even prime Suarez, Messi was a full time forward that drops deep only when he wants to enjoy the game from the others, and probably start those moments of brightness with brilliant runs.


Nowadays, he doesn't just drop deep cos of the lack of defense splitting passes, but because if he doesn't do that, nobody else would.

Totally inaccurate. Stop peddling this false lie that our Midfield is not creative. Even Alves said it. Messi likes to touch the ball every minute and pep was angry when Alves always pass to Messi. He said it clearly

" if Messi doesn't touch the ball every two minutes, he disconnects and we need him connected"

This was under Guardiola. That's just his style of play. He cannot play without the ball.

Moura7:
Has more than 50% truth imo sha. The midfielders rarely create clear cut chances, they rarely make forward passes (those defense splitting passes Messi, Xavi, Iniesta always gave us), it's more of them passing amongst themselves or going back. Midfielders are supposed to be the best readers of the game esp in spotting runs by teammates but we don't see that often in our own. Most times Messi just drops deep and almost immediately sends one to Alba and sometimes we watching at home don't even know till the ball reaches the intended player and we start shouting "genius genius"!
Ok atleast try to dribble well and attract defenders to you thereby creating more space for your attackers na. That's why you just gotta love Xavi, Iniesta, Pirlo, KDB, Silva etc

Our Midfielders are ok and can create clear cut chances. The players we have in that Midfield is better than juventus, United, Tottenham, etc Messi drops deep because he likes it not because our Midfield is dead and useless. Even with Xavi and Iniesta, Messi does the same thing.

SonOfAfonja:
How’s that a lie?

Explain how our Midfield lacks creativity? Their is nothing wrong with our Midfield please. Messi drops deep because he likes it.

williams10101:
Messi actually reads the game perfectly. And he'll know for sure that our midfield lacks creativity. He mostly drops deep to be the creative outlet.

At man-city, there'll be minimum need for that. His groove would come back.

Stop spreading this lie.

You're daft and stupid

The only daft and stupid person here is you who think unless iamj was alive during Gowon tenure he cannot know what happened and comment.

Even person wey dem never born during that time dey tell us say na contribution

I hope this Sheemale called Angel has not developed a crush.

kushercain:
[s] This is how you people start unnecessary arguments. Before you came here to quote me did you make your own research to verify the contribution statement? or you be Arugbo Ojo...mister ancient of days. Avoid me [/s]

Your initial post was daft and stupid.

kushercain:
Even person wey dem never born during that time dey tell us say na contribution

Can we start a GoFundMe to bring haaland to old Trafford

At least a striker that doesn't need penalty confidence booster

Don't allow patrickmuf see this o. You want to block Greenwood progression by buying Haaland. Look for a cheaper option to rotate with Martial like Giroud

patrickmuf:
I think Greenwood is already doing the highlighted and can improve on it with more experience that is why I am not entirely sold on the Sancho deal because I don't want Greenwood rooted to the bench...Let's just settle for a cheaper alternative that will rotate with Greenwood..

kushercain:
Even person wey dem never born during that time dey tell us say na contribution

This is very daft. So somebody must be alive when an event occurred before he can know what happened? Do you know if he had made his research.

O my God. This shitttt is getting hilarious

How many CLs did Busquets win without Iniesta or Messi?

Somebody actually typed this and pressed submit

BlueAngel444:
that was the nonsense na


It's because you don't have sense that why you did not see it

K

BlueAngel444:
of course that's why I did not type Godx

You are still doing it. Please don't quote me next time.

BlueAngel444:
wasn't it that the season Enrique signed Rakitic and changed the style of Barca football, way Rakitic just dey run everywhere. It was goals scored that saved Barca those seasons na

Stop typing nonsense please

raumdeuter:
Pep was carried along
Busquets was carried
Messi cannot perform without Barcelona
Iniesta was a carry along unproductive player
Pique is a useless defender
Was it Valdes, Zlatan Henry, Pedro, or who
So who was doing the work at Barcelona when almost their entire 11 was carry along. Who was actually carrying them

Maybe it was Chelsea players from England

The entire team was carried along from the players to the coaches to the ball boys . It's getting hilarious daily

Amoto94:
It is not a matter of shalaye football is a game of complex interaction and stats alone doesn't tell the true story always.

All these are Shalayes. That Treble of 2015 renders both you and Ibime argument of Busquet being carried by Xavi or anybody else dead on arrival.

First it's was Xavi and Organized pressing, he then won a Treble without Xavi then it was Football is psychology to Rakitic boundless energy lmao

Amoto94:
His boundless energy, tenacity, passing, covered Busquet coupled with the attacking threat of Iniesta and MSN.

Omo this your Shalaye is premium .

So what next? Salah, Firmino and Mane are carrying Van Dijk and Henderson

Amoto94:
He had Rakitic and MSN

Yes immediately Xavi finished carrying Busquet, Rakitic came in and carried him too . So how was Rakitic carrying Busquet?

Debroslink:
Ibime is an orator who has many followers here. Even if he post lies, many will believe him.

The fact that Busquet won the Treble with Xavi being a bench player in the same season already rubbishes any argument that he can't perform without Xavi.

Debroslink:
You are really missing the point. Atletico massive defence covered Rodriguez. Is Barcelona a defensive team? When we were under attack, who covered Busquets? Who had more tackles than Busquets?

First it's was Xavi, then organized press and then football is psychology . Bro ask them about 2014/2015 when we won the Treble with Xavi being a bench player and Barca using a more direct approach under Enrique who was carrying Busquet?

Ibime:
[s] Football is psychology. When teams are used to parking bus against Barca for the last 10 years, they continue to do so in 14/15 until someone showed them you can get at Busquet. Since then he has been everyone's bïtch.

Same thing happened to Fabregas in 2014/15. Everyone was standing off him for the first half of the season until Spurs showed him up in January, then every team started targeting him. Same with Jorginho in his first season until Bournemouth showed everyone he is a target.

Can you show me the recognition Busquet received in 14/15 for his work? [/s]

Who carried Busquet during our 2nd Treble season?

Ibime:
Comot there. Teams were scared of Xavi then and set out to park bus, hardly ever running at Busquet, but when they did, he would escort. As soon as Xavi left, Busquet became useless.

Now teams have changed orientation, they don't just sit back but they press high. Busquet should try escort nonsense against Salah, Mane type players that don't play scared like Malouda and co of those days. Oh I forgot, he did and got embarrassed. Every year he gets embarrassed now from Liverpool to Roma to Bayern to PSG, Busquet is everyone's bïtch

Even those days, when Bayern was putting 7 goals past Barca, Busquet was a well known escort.

No wonder Busquet never won any individual award of note. Busquet should go and give half of his career earnings to Xavi.

And you lied, Busquets was not averaging 100 passes a game then, more like 70s, while Xavi was averaging 90-100.

So the year Barca won the Treble with Xavi being a bench player who was carrying Busquet? Keep the Shalayes short please.

Debroslink:
So who was doing our defensive duties from midfield then? Was it Xavi or Iniesta?

Bro Wait for the Shalayes
