Grandfather of the forest?

This must be a great insult

One cannot be at the peak forever. But still on still, his GOAT status is still ever active. Messi will conquer Qatar 2022

yrex01:
mumu man. 3 goals and 10 assists in 19 games when he doesn't play 9 are very good stats but since it's messi they want him to have scored like 30 goals in 10 matches base on say he's doesn't bleed or sweat.

yestersay today n tomorrow he's no one mate in the game of football

You ended up confirming what the coach said with your first few lines

Kingcalls:


What the 4k is assist.... no one cares about that...there is nothing like highest or best assist awards ... assists are not recognised in football....only messi fans take it seriously as a compensation for his failure

No one cares about what?
SPEAK for yourself!
Goals and assists have always been part of football..
And they have to give an award to a skillet for it to be important..
Nobody gives an Award for number of interceptions and balls won by defenders and midfielders either..
Nor for number of saves by Goalkeepers..
So according to your understanding,they must not be important..

obedience4:
Stupid coach..
This same coach that has not won any major trophy as q coach and failed to carry his country to the world cup.

Can u negate what f coach said?

Maverick777:
Not entirely sensible coming from a coach.... 'Form is temporary buh class is permanent'.

How's it not sensible?

If somebody tell me say, a day will come when this man go become ordinary like other men, I nor go gree. De Lima's own is understandable, he struggled with injuries, even then baba na baba.
But Messi own be like, e be like, e be like him been de use Benin juju, but now the juju don come fade. I am not understanding this again o. Hmmmmm, maybe I should make an animation out of this. What sayeth you my good pipo?

Kingcalls:
At Messi's age , Ronaldo was sxorin6a hattrick against Spain in the world cup... messi and Argentina has been busy playing only South and North American teams since they were humiliated by European teams in the last world cup , they cudnt even beat Iceland.... they hv been avoiding European teams like a plague ... for those that still think Argentina is a force ...by the time they play Italy in June...una go know say apart from Brazil , the rest if South America is trash including Argentina....

Lewandowski will destroy him again like bayern, then u will know who truly deserved that stolen balon dor

A player like Messi come once in every 200yrs, you are lucky and supposed to be greatful to be in this generation to witness a god in soccer displaying his attribute. Presently there's a course in football academy called Messi, Ronaldo ooo, Lewandoski ooo all na noise makers

But Cr7 with 12 goals and 3 assists in 23 games is finished abi?
Omo una yeye dey smell jare.

Joezinho:
Ibrahimovic managed to net 38 goals with PSG at the same age that Pessi is now, 34, and Ronaldo adding 20+ goals a season playing in Serie A at the same age.

His fans will try to use excuse of age and not fitting into the team or system which is absurd and only proves what critics have been saying all along about Messi being a Barcelona player and would not be able to replicate the same success in another league.

Eibarman for a reason.

Did Ibra score 91 season goals when he was 24? Did he achieve 7 Ballon doors at 33? Just pointing out the illogicality of your argument.

Even if Messi flops at this time, the law of physics supports it, considering the preponderance of accumulated energies he had deployed to the game so far

So shhhhhh

Messi is just suffering from the standard he created..

Fans and fanatics of Messi don't care whether he's performing below par or not, so long as he's on the pitch. They're he's ride or die. They'd never admit it. Call a spade a spade, whether Messi or CR7. That guy's so far from his Barca self. Despite being in that wack, struggling United team, CR is still surpassing pple's expectations, talk less if he was in that star studded psg team.

I blame Buhari!

If we are looking for a player to score 3 goals and 10 assists, we wouldn't call Messi. PSG did not buy Messi to score 3 goals in a league like the french league. We all expected much more from him, not 10 assists and 3 goals.

Let's just agree that Messi has flopped and move on.

Messi thrives most when he's been written off. Expect wonders come world cup!!

kingyakos:


Ur hate on Messi is like the hate of a certain tribe in nigeria or are u from there.....

Lionel Messi today, tomorrow and forever remain the God of Football, Ronaldo ooo, Lewandoski ooo all na noise makers

I don't think like your average Nigerian that complains about poverty but all they really do is tribalism and ethnicity. I use my brain to build apps and tribal jingoism is the last thing on my mind. Nigerian tribalists are terrible, commenting on something totally unrelated to a tribe must relate to another tribe

I'm not surprised @all. Every now and then envious fools will just come and be yearning dust just to be relevant. The things Leo has achieved in his career, u sir can only dream and wish u had them in ur dreams. Person wey pass u, pass u so just shut it

tctrills:

Lol. For me, he has flopped as a GOAT, not as a regular good player. That his current foam doesn't befit his GOAT status is the point here. He is still highest assister in Ligue 1 by my last reading. That is not ordinary albeit ordinary for MESSI.

Now to you, has Ronaldo flopped?

[sup][/sup]

You never cry finish
More tears on the way

What did we both agree? Clear your eyes of bitterness and see my point. Summary: Messi is not what he used to be albeit he is still a good player if we are to apply the general, not GOAT standard. I wonder why you evaded the question on Ronaldo

I'm sorry about that bro....

Messi has given me great moments in the last 15 years, I can't feel bitter. I only feel pity for him.
About Ronaldo, I don't see the sense in discussing Ronaldo on a Messi thread.
Start a Ronaldo thread and you would get your answer. for now, let's respect Messi and talk about him.

MathewOG:
I have been a Barcelona's fan since 2003 and Messi's fan since 2005 and never had I for once say Ronaldo is better than Messi.The moving of Messi to France and his struggles in this same weak league has made me to Respect Ronaldo more than Messi

hmm

World Cup is like 7 months away and for this old fool mind he is playing mind games because he is in the same group with Argentina.

He needs to learn how to do mind games from Mourinho.

Cr7 is surpassing People's expectations?


This is week 30 in the Epl, he plays top 9 for Manchester United and has what? 12 goals?

His Man U languushing at 7th position?

Got booted out by a poor Athleti side?

Failed to score against the EPL big sides when it mattered and you say he's surpassing expectations?

This type of coaches are illiterate towards the profession. A coach who can't cherish what we call a utility player. I mean a player who can do everything in one.

Would av so wished, Messi started his role in football as a tap in doctor, maybe that's some lame coaches like this one understands. But since the best of the best coaches of this world acknowledges Messi's pattern of play, and continually sticks to it, we r good.

Even Ronaldo knew it isn't easy to be Messi, with that type of role in d pitch, the reason he changed to tap-master some 6 years ago.

Some efulefu are saying Xavi, Iniesta help Messi, but he added 2 golden boots and 2 ballon d'or post Xavi- Iniesta.

Ronaldo last won balloon d'or with Madrid, what happen since he left, so who rilli was a parasite in their previous team then ?
