The stats are based on La liga only right?
Anyway, it doesn't matter.

Messi losing possession can be truly worrying. But, dwelling on that and declaring him as terrible doesn't just sound okay.

The only thing we can hope for is that things gets better for messi and his form improves(goalscoring and in other aspects possible).
I think the Messi we've known over time makes it difficult to accept the messi we know now.

There's nothing we can do. But the guy is trying.
That's the reason I hate it when people decide to single him out and criticise him as if he's meant to be perfect. There are other positives to his performance.

Maybe he can do better. We'll just have to wait. The season is still young.

As for the free role position, who do think is better to hold that position?

Agbegbaorogboye:
And your obsession with PDP glorifies you right?
When you're ignorant, you keep quiet and learn instead of coming out to advertise your idiocy

Agbegbaorogboye:
Oya ask yourself. Who has mentioned APC or PDP since this thread.
Judge the level of your iq with that.

Shooting that nobody died. Is it still a shooting
We want names of those that died. They said 78 people were shot but I have seen the list of the 78

Ibukzy:
Lmao so what does expert looks at is it ratings?
does ratings of a player contribute to winning a trophy for a club?
Mind you i am not sentimental neither emotional about this, i am just being objective
as a supporter of fc barcelona , what come first is the club not the player even if he is the G.O.A.T
This season Messi has been poor even for general standard as he is the leader of the team and even the attack of barcelona, and he needs to improve or take some time off

joviegghead:
Bottom line:
Critic:
Messi has been poor in front of goal. YES! and its worrying. No goals from open play in what seems like forever!

Defense:
True! He has been poor. But his performances for the team is quite good for a 33 year old. Expectations for goal scoring shouldn't be placed highly for him.

He taking more shots means other attackers should even be questioned.

I'm sorry. Did I miss something?!

MT:
Don't spread rumour. The election staff worked through the nite. They wanted to rest to avoid error. Trump is in a good Pole position but you need to calm down.

joviegghead:
Tesspidd,

If people wanna criticize Messi, its okay to defend.
But if they still think their criticism is valid after that, there's no point dragging the issue. I mean, for 2-3 days?

Same goes to others

Ibukzy:
Judging Messi by other general standards you say
Messi only has 0 open play goal this season
He has 1 assist in La Liga
He has only created 1 big chances this season

So by general standards has he been poor this season yes/no

homesteady:
[s]You are so autocratic... you are now even forcing a selling point on me

1) Thank God! At least we are going somewhere now... So you agree that he has to improve with his scoring right?

2) If you are judging from the Whoscored stats you posted, I already explained it to you. Dribbles and passes factors heavily in their ratings and Messi has a lot of that because of his free role. That rating doesn't cover his ease of losing possession, his poor decision making, his unsuccessful dribbles especially close to or in the 18 box.

You are failing to realise that the role Messi plays is the most essential role in this team, therefore how he plays is quite significant. We are lucky that Keoman has made us less dependent on Messi sef, because it would have been disastrous. It's just like how they use to say before that "when Busquets has a bad day, the team suffers".

A more sensible argument from you would have been that he is gelling with the new players and new tactics, he is missing Suarez. You can easily put the blame on lack of rest, which is what I said from the beginning. But no, you decided to turn this into a circus.

Like I said earlier, Messi needs to agree to start resting, he needs to take a week off, clear his head off any distraction, then he can come back and see how useful he can be to the team. He did it when Enrique had problems fitting MSN into the team and I believe he can do it again.

Tainks.

[Mundo Deportivo] Dynamo Kiev arrive to Barcelona with 13 players. The minimum that UEFA states. If another player tests positive, the match will be suspended.

I don't know if you guys know Barcelona football club, I've been following the site for years now. So read this article

http://www.barcelonafootballblog.com/27833/alaves-1-barca-1-aka-dont-even-start-with-the-hashtags/

Tesppidd, please also read it.

homesteady:
I can bet that if Messi scores today, Tesppidd will come here and start mocking his phantom Messi haters

I'm so sure of this.

homesteady:
Mr man are you on your period? Because that should be part of the reasons for your irrational posts.

You are not willing to understand what people are saying, you just have a preset mindset and you are just ready to attack.

The point of saying he has only scored from PK is to highlight how poor he has been in front of the post especially due to him having the highest shots on target. Tesppid, it is called ANALYSIS!! It is not bad belle! Not everyone has a warped mind like you.

The only antecedent I know here is you not knowing you can actually criticize someone you like.

homesteady:
This Tesppidd has serious issues. This is definitely not normal. It's really frightening.

Well, like I said before, I'm not surprised.

homesteady:
Is it only goals I spoke about?[b][/b] What of the other aspects of his game I spoke about? Or you can't remember? But you can remember what some Barcelona fans here said almost 2 centuries ago?

homesteady:
So those that wanted him out 3 months ago did so based on his performance on the field?

This is getting unnecessarily long. Let me ask you a simple question. Will you prefer Messi keep this his current form throughout the rest of this season?

Has there been any time that these 10 real Madrid fans are not criticising Messi? Are you saying you can't differentiate between trolling and criticism?

You are just unnecessarily trying to cause a divide here. You have admitted to been overtly sentimental by saying you don't criticize players who are out of form, so allow others to objectively criticize such players which is the normal thing to do, without you having to hunt them down.

What's the point of this thread if we can't discuss problems that the players are going through? Or Are we just supposed to be silent and pretend like everything is perfect?

There is no Barcelona fan that will maliciously talk bad about Messi's performance. Nobody here is condemning Messi, we are just talking his game and possible causes of this temporal loss of form. If you feel people are wrong, you should logically dispute their points.

Braithwaite

joviegghead:
You're complaining.

Koeman might shock you with something else. Maybe worse.

joviegghead:
Barcelona possible starting lineup:

Neto; Dest, Pique, Lenglet, Alba; Pjanic, De Jong; Trincao, Messi, Pedri; Griezmann

TLona1:
At the end of the day, Messi is still the GOAT.

The goals will definitely come again in abundance and we'll get back to winning ways. Make una just chill for that little man.

Ibukzy:
Lmao
baba you need to be calming down, Messi has been poor since the restart for his standard, it ain't a lie
This season he has been taking a lot of shot, without scoring which is affecting Barca position in La Liga
And criticizing Messi doesnt means we hate him, you are just too over-protective of the G.O.A.T

Speak up rightly. Sit and drink by the side of the Road not in the middle of the Road, so that you do not violate The Rights of other Passers-by.

homesteady:
Ahh.... are you trying to say that Messi has been more criticised than Griezmann and Dembele on this thread?

You won't have any more feet left after this...considering how many times you've shot yourself in em with these screenshots
