Whoever that person is we don't know but are you ready on a bet minus PK stat padding Benz will get more goals than Messi in La Liga this season??
The person knows himself.

He's still loitering around as we speak.

Of course minus PKs, Has Benzema ever been fit to lace Messi's boots?

Those 2 or 3 Barca fans giving you something to hump on are what you call Barca fans attacking him?

Hehehehehe

You see why I said you are the only one with the illusion that we are singling out Messi?
What kind of pressure do you want us to mount on Griezmann and Dembele again? So it until you hear that fans are stoning Greizmann before you admit that we are piling pressure on him?

Sir, Having the most shots, the highest number of minutes and just one PK goal is a bad statistic. So your fantasy of him just staying in the midfield creating and distributing is still a fantasy at best, because that's not what Messi is doing. Besides Messi loses a lot of possession for a midfielder.

So far Messi maintains his free role, he can't be having this type of bad stat. I don't expect him to score plenty goals, but there should a fair balance between his shots and goals scored.
Yes Messi is singled out.

Nobody singles out Griezman and Dembele.

Maybe you need to go back and read through the thread from week 3.

Show me where anybody is counting open play goals or goals in the last 20 games, or number of balls dispossesed or number of passes missed for any other player than Messi.

Show me for Dembele Griezman or Fati.

Despite Messi even performing better than them he takes 80 percent of the criticism.

Stop pretending like you don't know this, telling me Griezman, Dembele are criticized bla bla bla.

Finally stop talking down on shots taken as if it were a bad thing.
Football is only a game of 90 minutes and a player who takes 20 shots and scores 1 is more hardworking than a player who takes 5 shots and scores 1.

The number of shots shows the effort he's putting in.

He's lazying and slobbing around yet he is able to get 20 shots off.

People just talk from the East coast and West coast of their tongues.

My point has been made, and no amount of hating or nagging can change it.

Messi has had a very poor run at scoring for the first 8 games.

Even though i really want the scoring burden to be lessened on him, Fati doing good so far,
I still bet that Messi will be the top scorer in the team at the end of the season.

I even asked a certain "lousy" real madrid fan to bet with me that Messi will score more goals than Benzema at the end of the season, he didn't have the balls to bet and he ran away.

My point has been made; the player ratings show clearly that Messi has been the best player in the team.

Ratings by international acclaimed statistical analysts not some busy body nairaland nagging specialists.

What da fucck are you even talking about?

He has 2 assists in La Liga, and he's the highest in the team.

He has 2 assists in the UCL, and he's the highest in the team.

Shows that he's the best attacker in the team in terms of creating goals. Yet he's the one to be criticized.


So what other croaking of doom do you have to make?

You are the only person having the illusion that people are singling out Messi. Apart from Dest and Fati, is there any other player that has not been criticized on this thread? So why are you attacking everybody that says anything about Messi?

Did you watch the match on DSTV? If yes, then I'm sure you also felt like attacking the commentator because he also said things similar to what people are saying here about Messi.

The only reason why many people are not saying much is because it is Messi.

He has the most shots and has the highest minutes played, yet he has one goal, which was a Pk. It means he is actually trying to score, but his shooting has been terrible. Did you see that freekick he almost sent out of the stadium during the last match?

Then let's talk about how he now makes frequent bad decisions, not passing to open players, instead he tries to dribble. Close to and inside the 18 box, if he dribbles 10 times, it will be unsuccessful at least 7 out of the 10 times. He even now loses possession more easily.

Are you saying that you have not noticed all this?

Then to the high rating he has there, dribbling counts heavily on Whoscored ratings and he still has decent dribbling stats especially at the midfield and of course he is Messi, he still does genius stuff.

If you are comfortable with this Messi, then you are an enemy to this team. We can't afford to have an out of form Messi because his teammates will always prefer to give him the ball, which makes him very important on the field. So we need him to be better than this if we really want to do well this season.
Time has come for us to stop expecting goals from a 33 year-old Messi.
Messi should be playing at midfield now, creating and distributing passes;

And he has proved to be very efficient in that area.
In fact he has proved to be one of the best In the world in midfield.

If you love this team so much, you'd pile your pressure upon 28 year old Griezman, 24 year old Dembele and 17 year old Fati for your goals.

They are collecting salary too.

He said those words, agreed..but the stats proves otherwise....he has the most shots per game in his team and the whole league, non of his team mates are even in the top 5, yet "he isn't interested in scoring goals"..next will be , "he isn't interested in scoring open play goals or freekicks"
Forget about shots and focus on the performance ratings.

Because the narrative you guys are pushing is that Messi is useless because he is not scoring goals.

Now you see a player who Is not scoring but still performing better than other players.

Stop grasping at straws. The important category to see here is the ratings.

In case you don't know the ratings means the all round performance of the players.

So how can anyone see the ratings and say Messi is still not the best performer.

The problem with Tesppidd is that he doesn't know when to draw a line. He is a walking "Till death do us part" vow. So I'm not surprised at all. This guy still supports Buhari and praises everything he does. Meanwhile many of us that carried Buhari on our head in 2015 have repented and gone for cleansing.

It is not me that will give Mr purple and Miss Melvina11 the weapons to attack Messi, that's why I wouldn't destroy all those screenshots you are posting everywhere. It's even funny that some of the stats you are posting are indications of his lack of form.. But I will leave it at that.

Let me just leave you with this screenshot.
One marked difference between me and most of y'all is that I rarely criticize players in my team.

As long as I see work, I see the effort i stand by players.

I am a conservative by nature.

Even when you all change your views on our players every 90 minutes, I don't.

I am not fickle like you are.

The only player I remember criticizing in very many years is Luis Suarez.

I don't criticize players for losing form, because I have my shortcomings in life as well.

I only criticize players for not putting in work.

I hardly criticize my players, not just Messi.

The problem you have is that you still see Barca as a one-man team.
You guys look at a team of 23 players and 1 coach but all you see is 23 Messi's with Messi as coach.

If you would reason a little more you would realise that nobody here has disputed Messi's drop of form.
Nobody all day all week has denied that Messi of 2020 is as good as Messi of 2010 to 2019.

Nobody!!!

What we have said consistently is that even with his present form, he is still delivering better than all of the other players.
He is still the best performer in the team.

Isn't that outrageous,?

That's the reason I uploaded those screenshots from the reliable whoscored.com to prove that he remains the best performer despite his dropped form.

So the question is; Why do you single out Messi?

Why do you single out Messi?

Why do you single out Messi?

Will he die for Barca?

As for you bringing up my political views which you know absolutely nothing about, it's very offensive but I'd let it slide.

My dear Tessppid,

He must score 40 goals a season. He must be the the chief scorer and chief creator simultaneously.

If not, he's our worst player, or so they claim grin.

This reverting to Playmaking role was what I have been trying to let one guy see.
But no, according to him, all other attackers are free from blame, while our dear Messi must be given sticks for not scoring enough, in addition to his Playmaking.
Noteworthy that he's made 4 Assists alone this season.

Dembele+Coutinho+Griezman+Fati have made 5.

You know Joviegghead I really don't bother about those coming from Real Madrid thread.

But I bother about the ones within that are calling themselves Barca fans.

He hasn't scored from open play for quite some time. Therefore he's our worst attacker, he's lazy and should be benched
Let's look back at Xavi and Iniesta when they were playing.

There is nothing that Xavi and Iniesta did back then that Messi isn't doing in midfield today.?

Do you know that Xavi and Iniesta sometimes went 10 games without a single goal?

But they were revered for their creative plays.


When can't Messi be revered for his creative plays even if he isn't scoring?

Is it because he has so spoilt us with creating massively as well as scoring massively?

FFS this guy made 25 Goals and 20 Assists just last season!

I dare any critic to bring out stats on any attacker or player at Barça who has done what this guy has done.

I'll be waiting.

Thereddevil:
Quoting Papa Buhari words "I am for nobody, I am for everybody".. Looking deep into this matter, the criticism against Messi hasn't been a candid one, because talking about tracking back, it's most attackers weakness and even when they track back, it's only to add numbers to those defending. I've seen Messi win the ball many times anytime he tracked back and he's so strong at doing that till this moment. Players like Hazard, Mata(I can't keep mentioning names) are weak at tracking back. The only reason you see Ronaldo is his own box is to defend corner kicks due to his height advantage.. And that's why he's scored an own goal in his career..
Frankly I was shocked when I read it here today "Messi doesn't track back"

Seriously?

I could remember not too long ago Messi even conceded a free-kick around his box after he tracked back to try to get the ball back from someone who dispossead him.

Thereddevil:
I've been following every reply on this post just for the fun of it. I watch almost all LA liga matches as much as I watch the premier league. I see some trying to defend Messi and some criticizing him bitterly. Someone even came up with a match in which Ronaldo tracked back and concluded Messi never does. Imagine expecting a Messi of 33yrs of age to begin tracking back. During Guardiola's time at Barca, he called Messi the best defender because of his strength and energy to track back and still do his runs and dribblings.. You guys actually think trying to dribble to open more spaces in easy? Have you ever been to training with yourself being alone with a ball to dribble past the cones? You get tired doing that let alone dribbling a skilled group of defenders coming with sliding tackles and elbows. Even players like Hazard ain't expected to track back to necessarily win the ball, but to receive the ball when won. Go to whoscored and you'll find out it's the weakness of most attackers.. Below is a screenshot of the strengths and weaknesses of the best two attackers...
I never thought that in my life time i'd see somebody call out Messi for being lazy or for not tracking back at all.

But It's nothing much really,
just some 2 or 3 ingrates who are intellectually challenged, that's all.

Godx:
[s]Recap.

Joviegghead: Our attackers have been poor at finishing chances.

Godx: Not true. Messi is our only attacker who has been very poor at finishing this season shown by his numerous shots with 0 end product in terms of goals from open play so far. I even went further to show you it didn't just start this season but since January he has been struggling in that aspect.

Then you resulted to typing completely out of point.

Joviegghead:

*Messi drops deep.

*He has been involved in our goals

*Dembele has poor decision making

*Other attackers need to step up

*Our defense is not good. If lenglet makes a mistake you will blame Messi.

* He should go to Man City

Nothing more to add then you resulted to insults and name calling (Mumu/Dumbass). Ok bro.[/s]
You just don't get it, do you?

Our attackers; Messi, Dembele, Fati, Griezman, Coutinho, Trincao, Pedri have all been wasteful this season.

I might excuse Fati because he's young but 5 Goals out of 8 games which is fairly good.
And Braithwaite because he has not had many games.



Messi has played 12 seasons for Barca,
And Barca has played 8 matches this season,

And at least 10 out of those 12 seasons he'd be having nothing less than 6 Goals already after 8 matches.

We've played 8 games already and what do we have?

Fati 5 goals.
Dembele 2 goals.
Griezman 1 goal.
Coutinho 2 goals.
Pedri 0 goal.
Trincao 0 goal.

Is this what you call goal scoring?

The Messi that you are disgracefully dragging would be having 7 Goals already after 8 games, in 10 of the last 12 seasons.

Yes Messi has been poor at finishing but You can't single out Messi because what?
Fati 3, Coutinho 2, Dembele 1, Griezman 1.

Are these what you call productive attackers after 8 games?
8 whole games??

Is that how Messi used to do it while we were winning la liga, after la liga, after la liga?

If Messi was having only 2 goals in open play out of 8 games wouldn't you still call him poor at finishing?

Wouldn't you run your mouth about how he has had only 2 goals from 8 games?


Walahi craze dey worry you.

You said you were going to shut up, shut up already, you have become too much of an irritant.
