Are you surprised they didn't invite Modric? Madrid would do anything to win the match, so they need all their players at their best. Don't be surprised if the move to not invite him was made by Madrid.
That one no mean say dem no go chop am.

Yes, but never Fail Against Barca

dmcdad:
In last season's clasico (At the Bernabeu) Messi had an off game. The first clasico of Neymar's first season (Camp Nuo) where we won 2-1 courtesy of Neymar and Alexis' goals, Messi was as invisible as invisible gets.

Also, in Neymar's first season where we played Atletico six (6) times without beating them, Neymar was our best player in those 6 matches. He was closely followed by Alexis. Messi had off games in almost all of them. Infact, those matches brought about some controversies, including one by an Ex-Barca Doc who said Messi no longer has the drive and hunger to play footy. And if you could remember, Martino played Neymar outta position in practically all the big matches.

I need not remind you of what Cletic did to us the season prior to Neymar's arrival. They won the match against us when we played on their turf, and drew the return leg in Camp Nuo. The following season, without Messi in the team (with Neymar) we won them home and away. Infact, Neymar singlehandedly destroyed them at the Camp Nuo with a hattrick, plus lots of flicks, shimmies, nutmegs et al.

Disclaimer: I am not in any way trying to take away anything from the football god just to prove Neymar worthy. For all I know, Neymar will never get to Messi's level. No be swear! What I am trying to say here is that, Neymar has nothing to prove to anyone, and against any team. He has done it times without number.

Messi has got the right to have off games from time to time. Every footballer born of a woman does! Pele did, maradona did! You just mentioned some select matches where Neymar performed better than Messi, if I sit to think, iam sure I could mentioned 3 times more the number of matches Messi performed while Neymar was missing! I understand your disclaimer but using Messi as a yardstick in your analysis is a bit derogatory.

he used to fail and flop when we were using puyol and abidal in our defence line. Infact puyol always had him like his back pocket wallet but when we started using people like Mascherano, adriano, in our defence line, your ronaldo began to shine.

This is the height of misunderstanding! Jeez! I'm sorry to say, but you are being myopic. This is pure shortsightedness.

I need not make things clearer, because it would be irrelevant. And I must say I am kinda disappointed you had to quote me in that contest. Messi and Neymar shouldn't be in the same sentence. And for the records, you don't love Messi as much as I do. But does that mean credits shouldn't be given to some other players? I don't think so.

I guess the person I wrote that post for understood it hook, line and sinker. Since you chose not to see the other side of it, then so be it.

But seriously, from wetin you read, I mean to undermine Messi's importance or even compare small Neymar to am?

I hate make person misunderstand me. Messi of all people? Haba na!

Him say him go bring up 3 times the number of matches I bring up against Messi to prove Messi. Abeg, who compare them? Them be mate? Messi get like times 10 of wetin I bring up for Neymar. I just try to prove Chelseafan1 say Neymar don show for some crunch games even without the help of Messi. E no mean say him and Messi come be mate, or them come dey drag who pass. Haba, na sin to put them in the same sentence.

Na wa ooooo. People can misunderstand person sha.

no disrespect to dmcdad, iam not trying to argue with him or anything. He's my buddie and we agree with each other most of the time. But lines like : 1 . Messi was as invisible as it gets. 2. Neymar was our best player FOLLOWED CLOSELY BY ALEXIS(The statement in caps how necessary?) 3. With Messi celtic beat barca but with Neymar barca beat celtic. 4. We couldn't beat athletico six times and Neymar was the best player on the pitch (FORGETTING HOW MESSI WON US THE LA LIGA ON MATCH DAY 38 WITH A VERY LEGIT GOAL WHICH WAS RULED OUT WRONGLY FOR OFFSIDE). lols. My point is simply that you do not have to diss Messi só hard just to highlight the value of Neymar. You can hail Neymar and leave Messi out of it, or better still make your point with the matches where Messi and Neymar shone together. Or at least use matches where Neymar shone in the absence of Messi not matches where Neymar shone and Messi played poorly. I didn't misunderstand you.

But it wasn't hard to understand what Dmcdad was trying to say

Hmmmmm, I guess you didn't get the point he's trying to make. No one would ever compare Neymar to Messi, not even his father!

Person dey even vex say them dey compare Ronaldo to Messi, e come be Neymar? Haba, ddippset you fall my hand big time!

I guess if you had read up my convo with Chelseafan1 all along, you would have gotten a clearer picture. He said Neymar had not shone without Messi, unless against smaller teams. I then pointed out that, although in those matches Messi was present, he was also not present, if you know what I mean. To prove to him that Neymar had shone without Messi's help per se.

That is not a way to discredit god-Messi. If I try that one, na Angel Michael go give me invisible slap na. I no fit at all!

Neymar is no where near Ronaldo even, how much more his football father, brother, Lord, idol, master and god. All the instances I gave came from 2013/2014 season, and we all know Messi had a rough season by his incredibly high standard.

You're perfectly correct. I just came in and read the latest page without even going back to read tru. No mind me abeg.

Bro, this bolded isn't correct, ""Neymar has not shone without Messi"" is totally different from ""I want to see Neymar take the mantle of leadership without Messi in one of the biggest games of the year."" the latter is what I meant o

Or I'm I contradicting myself, I guess not.

I guess your last sentence is the case. Remember, even though you said this match wouldn't be a yardstick, but that he was yet to shine in a match without Messi.

That was why I highlighted those games to make you understand better.

I guess we are over that by now anyway.

He might have shone without Messi (against the big boys) on the field of play, i haven't watched such match ever, so im not saying he hasn't shone without Messi on the field of play, what I'm after is him playing really well and leading the team to victory without Messi on the bench.
Let him be the Oga in charge having it at the back of his mind that, Leo isn't even on the bench, let alone starting.

This coming classico couldn't have come at a better time since Leo is out injured, I'm looking forward to it.
