Messi against big teams : playmaking, scoring, assisting, teamplaying

Ronaldo against big teams - waiting for tap-in - waiting for a player to make all the effort and then give him the ball to score.


Nonsense.

You ehn, if Krasid catch you ehn. Expect a nice reply soonest.

honeric01:
The coach clearly stated that the game was crazy and he needed to claim possession, hence the introduction of Xavi..

why Neymar and not any other player? that is left for the coach to answer since he's closer to the players than most of us.. we can only guess that he took the wrong decision since you can't say the result would have been different if it was another player he removed.

so until I am in his shoes and know what the players discuss before games, telling you who I would have removed won't be a fair game.

Okay bro!

honeric01:
Some of una funny I swear.. so because you support Barcelona, it automatically means all other clubs are bad? hmmm common sense share....too expensive..

We are talking form here, you are talking names...

have you watched any of the last 8 games sevilla played?

If they weren't potent enough to cause our defense hell, would those mistakes come to life?

the way some of you disrespect your opponent is what is actually causing all these. until 90 mins, do not give a walkover to your club especially a team looking to get the UCL ticket.

I guess you still don't get the point of debate up there bro. The argument is not on the fact that we had a draw, but what possibly led to the draw. In some few matches before the last, so many of us clamoured for Neymar to either be taken off or even rested because of his off form. But going by his play yesterday, he was a constant threat to the opponent, pushing their defence back by his constant trouble. If he was not taken off, yes, Sevilla might equalise but we might have also scored a winning goal. So, it's a two way thing.
May I humbly put this question to you: would you have taken off Ney for Xavi last night or someone else were you the coach?

I was unable to watch the match, but trust me to follow it live via my phone. Immediately I read Ney was pulled off for Xavi, I asked why and what for? We were leading then and the coach wanted to have more control in the midfield, an idea that was very okay. But to have traded the much lively attack for the needed control was the error not forgetting that their active defence had to be pushed back.
@JP, at this juncture, hardly would you see any cule criticising Lucho these days since he had maintained balance in the team. But to say he didn't make mistake last night is not acceptable even after he himself had admitted he made one. We are human and as such are liable to error at one point or the other. He made one last night and the team paid for it. No one said we will never drop points, but you will agree with me that dropping points as that of last night could be costly at the end of the season.

Luis Enrique: "Xavi-Neymar sub? We wanted more control, more possession, but the game continued to be crazy..." #fcblive

Baddestguyp:
krasid, u dey hear. and original jamb result is also one of the requirements a passport of you wearing a barca jersey is also required

Hehehehe una no go kill the man oooo. Imagine if he were to be a Barca fan, the way e go dey carry Messi matter for head ehn

homesteady:
Na wa for you oh! how will you use just 2 games to judge form? Oya we won our last game 4-0 and Madrid won theirs 2-0, so who had a better outing?

Using your logic - Suarez is equal to Madrid because he scored 2 goals yesterday and Madrid scored only 2 goals yesterday!

Make una no allow mr Krasid give una hear attack oooo he's such a funny Madrid fan.

dmcdad:
Chai! Better thing good oooooo.

I just dey hear whispers ni... I no fit hear haterz properly because the distance much.

Wicked!!!

homesteady:
Iniesta has never been a player with high stats even when he was playing as an advanced attacking midfielder, so you should not expect him to do so now because -
1) he is more central
2) he has more defensive responsibilities
3) Lucho tactics has kinda made our midfield less important!
4) He is old now!

He can't just be sold na, he should be there
to groom Rafinha!

What many don't know is that Barca don't just sell their home grown boys anyhow, especially the proven ones. Unless they decide to leave on their own. It's a way of giving respect to them for what they have done for the club. Players like Puyol, Xavi, Iniesta, Messi are living legends, and you can't afford to treat them anyhow. Wonder why Xavi is permitted to make his own decision?

barackohandso:
Ok. So you agree he is currently not at top level? Maybe you gave a convenient reason for him being that way
@ bolded. I hope that happens

He's not at top level neither can there be any player in such a situation at top level!

barackohandso:
You've watched Montoya play a lot of games over the years. How will you rate him?

In those years, he showed some signs of readiness to step into the position but lost complete confidence as the years went by due to few matches played. He might not be the kind of player we'd hoped for, bt certainly he's not been helped either by the bench. Why not let him go where he would have more playing time?

barackohandso:
Call a spade a spade. Pedro is finished. We all knew what he could do like 4-5 years ago. Montoya is just average at best; for all his substitute appearances, he hasn't done enough to give all the managers he's played under a second thought. Is Rafinha also not a substitute player?

Pedro is not thes same player anymore. But I beg to disagree on Montoya, using Rafinha as comparison is unfair on the guy. They are both substitute players but one often plays even as starter and sub while the other hardly touches the ball.

Vermaelen, who is now doing 80% of training with group, hopes to get medical green light ahead of Liga game against Getafe on 28 April. [md]
Is the guy still an Fcb player?

Krasid:
Mou was not in good terms with some madrid players before he left.There is a reason why Ronaldo holds the distinction of being the first player to win the puskas award and LFP best goal

And Mou is the best friend of Messi!

Mourinho: "Goal Charlie Adam? Fantastic goal, a goal every super player would want to score - the Pele's, the Maradona's, the Messi's..."

ddippset:
lol very correct stats you just reeled out there! And that's exactly what we ve been talking about. Ronaldo 5 goals against Granada, Messi 0 goal against city. Yet Messi was far more excellent than Ronaldo, yet Messi was praised all day, all night. What am I saying? Without a goal, Messi is still a bigger genius anytime, anyway.

Little wonder why one is rated no. 1 and the other no. 29th in 2015 ranking!

ddippset:
Shebi nor be the celta be thus? All of una wey de shout rest Messi, rest Messi. Only God go give us 3 points this night.

I wonder ooooo! Just imagine if Messi is not in the match.

philfearon:
The more reason why Messi shouldn't start today's match!!

And why shouldn't he play if he's 100% fit and ready to play?

Please house, is Granada a football club or what?

dmcdad:
Yeah, agreed. We sure mustn't lose this league to Madrid. Personally, I no want make Messi play. Make him relax abeg to avoid heartfelt stories.

Messi might likely play and he would be fine. He personally would wish to play and as such, the coach might really have no choice but to play him.

barackohandso:
Messi completes light Barcelona training session

Good news!

barackohandso:
I lie?

Please what's the matter with Iniesta today?

coded01:

Take heart cules, we are losing this match, our team is playing so poorly!

Let's go there!

David Silva: "You can stop Messi by working a lot. I am of those who think that the best way to stop Messi is to stop the others: Iniesta, Xavi... Messi is capable of deciding a game alone, but if you make sure he has less support, it is better. He is the best, but he has the best behind him, alone he would do nothing."

Silva Just did a Kompany@the emboldened

I pity them.

So someone can still be saying this after what Messi did to them at the Etihad. No wahala, dem don find my guy trouble and they must pay for it big time.

dein77:
Yes. And it's time to get ready as City visit Camp Nou next Wednesday. It's a game we can't afford gambling.

Gambling? Trust my boys to wreck havoc on their defence. Poor team from over rated league.
