Reading through this thread, you'd think Barca fans would defend Messi at every opportunity, but instead it seems you constantly find reasons to criticize him. He's not as good as he was in 2012, sure, but saying he should be dropped or sold is comical Laughing

From what I understand his Tax evasion problems are still going on. Anybody worried about it at all?

I've supported Barça since the days of Gaspart, so even though I was young at the time I've seen the good and the bad. I'm just as 'spoiled' as anyone here. That doesn't take away from the fact that Messi, even though he is such a great player, doesn't seem to fit very well tactically into this team and what Lucho seems to envision for it. It's also not true (but then I am obviously purely speaking for myself) that I want Messi out. I stand by the fact that he is still a great player, one of the best in the world. If he would set his mind to it I am sure of it he will/could be the very best once again. Some people just don't seem to understand the difference between wanting someone gone or discussing if it would be a good thing to do so based on a larger picture. Again, I don't want him gone. I want Song, Pedro, Montoya and Afellay gone. My perception of Messi isn't like that at all.

Looks like he's saving himself for Barca this season. Didn't take part in the friendlies with Argentina but apparently took part in the friendly game behind closed doors against Barca B and scored a hattrick according to Cope, RAC1 and MD. Proud

Tata's comments as Argentina coach are also kinda revealing tbh:

Martino (coach ARG): "Messi will continue as captain. He's very focused on the Liga now, sometimes club has priority, sometimes country."

Meh, I doubt he would not want to play vs Germany. We've been kicked out of 3 wcs in a row by them, he must hate them. I think he really did have some injury problems and did not want to risk getting back into the injury cycle he had last season.

I would understand why he wouldn't he just spent the whole summer with argentina and knows this game is pretty pointless.. probably wanted to focus on barca and stay as fit as possible.

"If he wanted to be the best defender around he would be. He does things that people couldn't do on a Playstation video game console."

And always with the same example: "best defender". DEM psychological tricks to make him press and work harder off the ball. Proud Proud Proud

Have been extremely impressed with his play on the ball.Almost perfect.This season,he has made the right play with the ball almost every single time.Doesnt try to over dribble.Always passes to the open player instead of going for the magic play.
Different compared to previous seasons.Previously he would often ignore open players and go alone.Because he was so good,it would work.
No complaints with the ball.Without the ball,still sometimes a bit static.But atleast he is running now compared to last few seasons.
So overall quite happy with his performance.

He is pressing a lot compared to last few seasons, though things can be improved, but if he keeps it like this I aint complaining.

He was pressing a lot at the beginning of the past season too. Then he got injured and got scared of missing the world cup so he stopped. Let's hope he doesn't get injured again.

Messi is 2 goals off becoming the joint la liga top scorer and 3 off becoming the top lone top scorer.

And guess who we are playing in 2 match days :whistle:

Explains his Heskey-esque finishing against Rayo. He wants to celebrate it in the Bernaleo. :coffee:

apparently left 30 minutes early from training with a physio but it could be for several number of reasons, one mainly being the smog of being has been said to affect some players.

I think offensively he has been near perfect this season.Last 2 seasons,I felt when we had the ball,he was often a liability as he barely moved off the ball.Always static and wanting the ball at feet instead of providing movement off the ball.
Tremendous improvement in that aspect.He is not static and provides good movement.
He is making runs for throughballs and hitting the box when we have the ball wide.As a result he is getting a lot of chances.Unfortunately he does not have his scoring boots on right now but it is only a matter of time before he starts banging them in.
And with the ball too,he has been brilliant and making the right play almost every time.
Another thing I noticed is that he is competing for headers a lot this season,something which I have never seen.He is in the box when we take a corner and competes for the ball with opposition defenders.It is something I always felt he should do.Though short,he has a terrific leap and a good heading technique.But he never used to compete for headers.Maybe Enrique has convinced him to do so.

Defensively,still not perfect but atleast he puts in some effort which is a marked contrast to previous seasons.
