lol.
10 minutes 10 minutes cameo.
Give the Man 2 full consecutive games to see what he can do.

SonOfAfonja:
I’ll repeat it...if Messi stays one more season in Barca, then he’s the most foolish footballer ever.

williams10101:
True! At this point in his career, he needs a team where he wouldn't have to do loads of work. How Juventus plays to Ronaldo's strength comes to mind.

It's either you can play the piano or you carry it. Messi can definitely play the piano, others should be allowed to carry it(if u know what I mean).

SonOfAfonja:
Absolutely, considering the fact that he’s been carrying Barca for almost a decade now, Man needs to relax and enjoy being bottle fed now.

Moura7:
E go gree make them bottle feed am?? Small thing e don drop deep.....plus i feel feeding him would be like building the team around him again

williams10101:
Messi actually reads the game perfectly. And he'll know for sure that our midfield lacks creativity. He mostly drops deep to be the creative outlet.

At man-city, there'll be minimum need for that. His groove would come back.

Has more than 50% truth imo sha. The midfielders rarely create clear cut chances, they rarely make forward passes (those defense splitting passes Messi, Xavi, Iniesta always gave us), it's more of them passing amongst themselves or going back. Midfielders are supposed to be the best readers of the game esp in spotting runs by teammates but we don't see that often in our own. Most times Messi just drops deep and almost immediately sends one to Alba and sometimes we watching at home don't even know till the ball reaches the intended player and we start shouting "genius genius"!
Ok atleast try to dribble well and attract defenders to you thereby creating more space for your attackers na. That's why you just gotta love Xavi, Iniesta, Pirlo, KDB, Silva etc

Our Midfielders are ok and can create clear cut chances. The players we have in that Midfield is better than juventus, United, Tottenham, etc Messi drops deep because he likes it not because our Midfield is dead and useless. Even with Xavi and Iniesta, Messi does the same thing.

FirstbornWds:
Lol. Messi doesn't drop deep because he likes it. He does it because our midfielders are not creative.


During the times of Xavi and Iniesta and even prime Suarez, Messi was a full time forward that drops deep only when he wants to enjoy the game from the others, and probably start those moments of brightness with brilliant runs.


Nowadays, he doesn't just drop deep cos of the lack of defense splitting passes, but because if he doesn't do that, nobody else would.

Godx:
Totally inaccurate. Stop peddling this false lie that our Midfield is not creative. Even Alves said it. Messi likes to touch the ball every minute and pep was angry when Alves always pass to Messi. He said it clearly

" if Messi doesn't touch the ball every two minutes, he disconnects and we need him connected"

This was under Guardiola. That's just his style of play. He cannot play without the ball.

GrammarNazi1:
Guy, no injure yourself.

Our midfielders are not creative enough at all.

Godx:
