Just sell Messi, na that time you go know Wetin dey sup, Or you think that Neymar boy is ready to start playing serious football?
I am actually surprised at how Messi and Enrique has suddenly became the scape goat, few weeks back(Pre Classico) both men were being eulogised on this thread.

ddippset:
enuff with this man. iam out.

ddippset:
@ bolded, who are we? you're one of those that think messi was below par at the world cup? why am i not surprised? bringing neymar into this? has neymar or has suarez fared any better than messi? if so why are we in this situation? now i get it? you have placed barca's problems solely at the feet of messi? again, why am i not surprised? like i said you said, 'sell messi' since early 2013. you're definitely a madrid fan in disguise.

barcanista:
With all due respect Sir, You are talking thrash.

ddippset:
again you're wrong. june 2013, barca just won the league with 100 points.
-messi was top scorer in la liga
-messi was top scorer in europe
-messi just scored consecutively against all league opponents
-messi rescued us from the bench against psg
-messi led the demolision of ac milan with 2 superb goals
-then came injuries. messi had 4 injuries in 2013.
-then came tax problems
-last season barca came second in the league only because the referee disallowed messi's correct winner against athletico madrid, the same MESSI.
-then came the fifa world cup, golden ball or no golden ball, messi was among the best 3 players.
all these you call downward trail? anyway. i have taken you down memery lane. messi achieved all the above mentioned after you campaigned for us to sell him sometime in early 2013. so mr philfearon, ur criticism of messi is not constructive, you hate the man. 'barcelona fan'

ddippset:
ONE- i am now convinced you've never kicked a football, if you had you'd know that psychological problems could make you miss a one on one chance. you think it's only when you're no longer a good player that you miss one on one chances? lol. i remember you philfearon, over the past 2 years, you always criticised messi. it was you who suggested benching messi and even selling him sometime ago and the entire thread descended on you. i think a year or 2 years ago. messi then went on to shut you up by bouncing back. since then you've never missed any chance to justify that crazy postulation you made. and now you've gotten one great opportunity on a silver platter.I REMEMBER YOU! guy, messi will prove you wrong again.
TWO-dont be ridiculous! every club has that one individual who "monopolises" free kicks! (word in quote) because no one really does! messi shares with xavi and alvez, he always did. just because neymar an suarez came along, the team wouldnt just give it to them. be real dont be a hypocrite.
FINALLY, again you once said on this thread that messi should be benched and sold. i am the last person to be surprised at you. your criticism of messi is inherent and dont be using 'missing one on ones' or 'monopoly of free kicks' as a smoke screen. coming from someone else it could be a genuine criticism but from you, it's your way of life. 'barcelona fan'

I will set up a mailbox just for you.

ddippset:
so what are you saying? and what are you asking for?
- the guy still has a tax case hanging over his head, he might go to jail.
-the guy has been slowed down by injuries.
-the guy has been playing both attack and midfield.

even if he has performed badly in 2 or 3 games, he is facing problems and we must say good things about him.
but then, the 'very loyal' ones amongst us are busy criticizing.

ddippset:
surely he has lost form. what do we do?
-kill him?
-sell him? we'd get no less than 200 million in 2 seconds.
-bench him? we'd play pedro or munir.
@ bolded even 90% the fans @ the camp nou who pay thousands of pounds for their tickets still applaud messi and the team, then the 'very loyal' nairaland barca fan wouldnt let go.

ddippset:
messi defender? Wtf are you talking about? You need to take a short trip down memory lane and recall how much I defended pique when your likes were bashing him or how I defended Alexis when you guys threw him to the dogs. Every player could be criticised at some point but messi own never reach. Messi has the best stat in Europe this season even in his decline. Words used on Messi here should be on other threads. Just a fortnight ago I was probably a pique defender now Messi defender. I will continue defending them when it warrants.

philfearon:
ddipset = The Messi Defender ………
My fellow Cule,every Barca fan loves Messi to the Spine just like you..Infact he is the symbol for us..
But,The truth can't be hidden..He,just like every other player must be criticised if they are ailing in one way or another!!

ddippset:
everything you said here is exactly what i said. so what do you mean by prep talk when you are saying the same thing with me? smh. also i dont know why you had to quote me again. true he should share the free kicks with neymar and suarez but he was true to the course. if he was walking around you'd still criticise him. he was running, he was sweating, he was making attempts, he was putting in 110% and now you want to bash him for missing chances? wicked!

ddippset:
so many disappointing comments right here. we blame, blame , blame and blame. do we really watch the games at all? no other team in the whole of europe endures what our attackers have to endure game after game, not chelsea, not man u, not real madrid, not bayern. i have watched every of barca's games and it's always the same. teams put 8 men at the back from the blast of the whistle, and play on the counter. sometime in 2012 this technique was discovered. and it has worked for them. its easy to blame messi, its easy to blame neymar, its easy to blame iniesta, xavi and co. by the end of the season we would have blamed the whole of the 23 players. who doesnt know that there are always two lines of 4 defenders each whenever messi or neymar gets the ball? what are they supposed to do? disappear through the walls? and reappear on the other side?it's also very easy to say 'messi shouldnt be missing the chances he gets' but anyone who has played the game might know that its very easy to miss a chance when you have been worn out already trying to break down an 8 man defence or when you get a one on one with the keeper and your subconscious tells you there 'hundreds' of defenders around you. all the boys are good: messi, neymar, suarez, iniesta, rakitic, etc etc. we will get back to winning ways. what needs to change is the pattern of play. something must be done about teams playing 8 men at the back from minute 1. anyone who claims this is just an excuse is insincere. what should be done to create spaces at the back? give the ball away to the opposition? play long balls promptly to the attackers? worst culprit-busquets-i have seen busquets countless times do this: he wins the ball from the back and instead of sending a long ball forward while the defence is still sparse, he opts to make a side pass to xavi, xavi back pass to pique, pique another side pass to masch, then masch to busquets again, 3 minutes are gone, 8 defenders have taken thier positions again at the other end. all of these when the ball could have gone from busquets to messi or neymar in 6 seconds! like madrid or chelsea do it. what needs to change is the pattern of play.

coded01:
Sorry my padi

ddippset:
seriously, where do you guys get these illusions from? the fact that the whole of real madrid are slaves to ronaldo doesnt automatically mean that the same applies to messi. it's not possible that messi gives the highest amount of assists to his team mates and you still say they play for messi. it defies logic and common sense really. 80 mins out of 90 messi leaves his positions and drops to midfield just to help the team, especially when the game gets tough. bro you need to sing a new song.

ddippset:
@ bolded; wrong language. it's messi to be shifted to accommodate suarez, not 'suarez being shifted to accommodate messi'. by the way, i guess you mean; reus on the right, messi tru the middle, iniesta on the left, suarez up front. then where does neymar play? where does rakitic fit in? and then busquets nko? we need two and not only one defensive minded midfielders! i think reus is a left sided midfielder, hope iam correct. a very good alternative to don andreas.

sebod:
Do we still have any hope of signing him? I read somewhere he's ready to go to Liverpool. I. Really don't understand why we failed to sign him when we had the chance. This board sha!

ddippset:
does marco reus fill in for messi or for iniesta?
