ArchAngeI:
that is an old quote

That guy really know him strategy for una


Giving una hypable quotes

tesppidd:
Is it only Puig, Busquets, De Jong and Pjanic that would stay our midfield our next season,?

With over 50 matches to play?

donjazet:
I remember when guys here wanted to eat me raw when I advocated for Lampard to start using Giroud. Una see una life.

tesppidd:
Rakitic yes,
Suarez yes,

But FFS what harm has Vidal done?

donjazet:
Congrats my nigger. Expecting the little Chelseabiomustrys.

tesppidd:
So that means there is #passtomessi

As well as #messipasstoothers


The only deduction from this is that Messi also feeds others too but they end up wasting his services.

tesppidd:
But what I don't understand is this;

How is it that we operate a #passtomessi system
but Messi still makes the highest assists,
the highest passes and
the highest created chances??

Is Messi omnipotent or what?

It doesn't make any sense.

Debroslink:
You are one of the very few sensible Barcelona fans on this thread. Jpmoriarti is my man too, but he dey drink fermented palm wine sometimes

jpmoriarti:
The goal came with a a pass from Messi to Rakitic. I think you're contradicting yourself

jpmoriarti:
You said lack of trust? I will tell you that trust is earned. You have to show your abilities before someone can trust you with passes. If you are the one always ponderous in possession, not knowing what to do with the ball whenever you receive it, it is more likely that you will receive less passes.

jpmoriarti:
If you are not making better movement off the ball, it is also more likely you wont get key passes. You have to always be in perfect sync with your teammates.

Mcleo007:
Passtomessi will continue until we have a coach with an understanding of the basics of Tiki-taka. Tiki-taka is only possible with positional play. We cant continue to have Messi drop deep or drift to a central postion when off the ball, and expect not to have other players look out for him. We either revert to him playing as a false 9, flanked by 2 inverted Forwards or stations him permanently on the right wing. He has the skill sets to play either centrally or on the right. Every player must stay in thier positions while trusting oters to know what to do on and off the ball. Its simple!

jpmoriarti:
Nonsense!

When you have players who are unable to take responsibility, it is easy to see that other players who seem more responsible will get more passes.

jpmoriarti:
When Puig came on, did you see how he was running the show, creating spaces and looking to accept more passes.

jpmoriarti:
Why did you think he got way more passes than the ineffective Grezimann, who was just floating in and out of the game?

jpmoriarti:
It is even common sense to pass to Messi because from what we can see, he's the only one seemingly capable of doing anything meaningful with the ball, even when crowded. Grezimann will just look to pass the ball back to someone where the risk of losing possession is low. That's not the spirit we want in the team. We want adventurous spirit, one willing to take risks and damn the consequences.

tesppidd:
I get your concerns but
If Messi played over 10 consecutive games when he was 32,
Playing 7 games at 33 won't kill him.

tesppidd:
As it is we have already blinked once in the title race, a second blink would be catastrophic.

IMO Messi should play against Celta, Athletico and Villareal; then rest at home to Espanyol.

jpmoriarti:
Yeah someone like Debroslink.

He only visits the thread on occasions when the team drops points to justify and continue his #PassToMessi tirade. Like are we supposed to throw Messi away, so the players won't pass ball to him or something?

He's got a point though. Other players are supposed to take and assume more responsibility on the field but dude is now overkilling it. Everything he says is now a cliché!

Remarkably, you don't see him around this thread whenever the team manages to grab all 3 points. You begin to wonder if he wishes the team goes down, so he can feel justified?

tesppidd:
Rest Messi away to Celta?

Una don come again?



These are the next games;

Celta A
Athletico H
Villareal A
Espanyol H

The earliest we can rest Messi is at home to Espanyol.
