Is it true that Messi has scored 21 goals vs EPL opponent in the CL

How can he survive in the EPL

Arthur!!! This guy is a time bomb waiting to explode, in a positive way tho'. He is already this good, what would now happen if he gets used to his teammates?
Everything he does is reminiscent of the great Xavi Hernández.

Honestly, this win was down to the lads and not Valverde. From the get go, I knew Leo entered the game with a specific mindset, TO WIN the game.
I hate it when there is a win, you praise the players. When there is a loss, you heap the blame on the coach. That sucks! You couldn't see how the coach added an extra midfielder so we could have more control. For much of the match, we looked compact except some moments in the second half. Give praise when is due. lipsrsealed lipsrsealed

Mr man... You should know I am not the type to quickly lash out at coaches. Even when everyone was seemingly on Lucho's neck, I never joined the #EnriqueOut movement. I say what I know.

EV is an average coach at best. At this juncture, this is a no-brainer. I knew we'd win the game from the outset. Meanwhile, not to take away anything from the coach, but the reality is that, wins like this tend to take off the lid in his case. This doesn't change anything about him. He's not tactically astute. He is bad with rotations. He doesn't improve players... Mehn, don't even get me started.

Leo really means business in the UCL. The way he chases balls, marking and committing fouls sometimes show how much he wants to bring home the UCL.

I wouldn't say hes average just that hes too tactical for my liking.He brought back the classic 4-4-2 which made barca unpredictable and defensibly solid and played some tight games which he came out tops (chelsea and madrid matches comes to mind).While hes general performances has been Ok,he just doesn't have that flare and many at times goes blank with the team.And another thing with him i hate mostly is hes too relaxed.Hes ready to win a game by 1 goal margin with the performance not so great.Hes more of a younger mourinho just that he ensures to win games other than getting a draw

One aspect of his game that has remained untouchable.

This is gonna still kill us in latter stages. Messi can't do everything.

Not all teams are gonna play like Tottenham yesterday.

Stop celebrating mediocrity. The coach is pure average. It was simply #PASSTOMESSIFC that clicked yesterday. See the 3rd and 4th goals.

Remove Messi, and Tottenham wouldn't have lost.

If only Suarez can just start banging in goals like crazy... Just if
Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by kodded(m): 7:04am On Oct 04, 2018
although I am happy that Barcelona won the match and I'm so much excited that messi scored 2 goals and a assist, but the million dollar questions is,









what will happen to Barcelona in the champions league if messi is not on form ?

who will rescue barca ?

.....are we going to see a repetition of last season where messi singlehandedly took us to the QF but when he was off form, common as Roma took us to the cleaners?


.....football is not about ONE player, but its a TEAM sport, that's why realmadrid kept winning it even when ronaldo was off form



....look at juventus they won without Ronaldo, can we say the same thing to barca without messi ?


Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by tesppidd: 7:09am On Oct 04, 2018
It's like Messi was playing 1., 2 with the post.

- Rio Ferdinand.

I don't know what to say about Suárez. We know he adds to our overall play too, but for a striker, scoring goals should be his primary duty amongst other things.

That's the problem over the last 4 years.

At the early stages he's able to do it almost on his own.

But at the knock out stages and against the tougher teams the help he requires is elusive!

And such traits are not reminiscence of a typical Barça manager. Even Lucho was far more sound. Imagine trying to defend a one-goal lead almost at all times. Haba! That ain't Barça!

We instill fear in the minds of our opponents and not the other way round.
Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Nobody: 7:17am On Oct 04, 2018
Barcelona outplayed tottenham yesterday,but I will advice to keep calm until the retutn leg,hopefully when tottenham's midfielders are back from injury..there and then can you prove your mettle...
After all CSKA did beat Real,thanks to several key players being injured
Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by tesppidd: 7:21am On Oct 04, 2018
After Messi hit the post twice and Harry Kane scored at the other end,

I am sure Messi's demons must have whispered to him,

"Look partner, it's time you stopped MESSIng around"

grin

The reality is... EV has not wowed me in any way. I mean, turn things around with his tactical acumen. Honestly, one thing I've noticed all the while since he became our coach is that, he has the mind of a small-team coach. That average-club mentality is an inherent and innate thing in him and not even the opportunity of coaching the best players would change that.

Mehn,it's just sad. Why? Because it will come to a time Messi won't be able to do it all by himself. At such time, other players and especially the coach will need to find a way around winning games and giving Messi the much needed support, probably with his match set-up and/or instructions. No way in this planet EARTH Lucho would have lost 3-0 against Roma with a first leg advantage like we had.

Another thing is; EV is extremely poor when it comes to rotation. That's not even debatable.
