Might be injured left Argentina's practice early feeling his left thigh.
could be real... or could be agent tata doing us a favor by not playing him.

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.

Balague's book discusses the relationship between the two, insisting they are not friends but act politely in public for the benefit of the media.

The Spanish football journalist claims several players at the Bernabeu relayed the information to him, and that Ronaldo not only calls Messi by 'motherf*****' but anyone who is caught speaking to his Ballon d'Or rival.

'Ronaldo, perhaps as a symptom of the immaturity that marks so many footballers, thinks it necessary to put on a brave face in front of his team-mates, not be scared of Messi and to rise to the challenge,' Balague writes in his book, serialised by The Telegraph.

'All very macho; all very false. And that is why, according to some Real Madrid players, CR7 has a nickname for him: "motherf*****"; and if he sees someone from the club speaking to Leo, he also ends up being baptised "motherf*****".


All tho Balague is a piece of shit anyways and I wouldn't take what he says seriously, but it wouldn't surprise me if this was true neither.

He played well but Croatia put 7 first timers on the pitch. Finishing still iffy. What the hell happened to his finishing?

Poor finishing is usually a function of how tired a player is.

It's also a function of number of burgers someone eats, I reckon.

Tata still feeding him with DAT Argentinian BBQ?

In your last CL game against Ajax, Messi again was chewing something the very second before kickoff, standing there in the middle circle.
Can anyone tell me their thoughts what that is about? Don't recall seeing any other player ever do that hmm

It is a mystery what has happened to his finishing.Couple of years back,he was lethal.As lethal as anyone I have ever seen.Now he misses sitters every game.

I don't think it was a chewing gum tbh. There's one image where you see him chewing like you chew food, and then swallowing hard, as if to get it down. Right before kickoff.

Check it out on the lastminutegoals full match recording or something (don't know if it's appropriate to post links here)

Maybe he is tired. Maybe that explains his finishing. He's ran and played allot of footy since he came into the first team. Plus he constantly looks frustrated on the pitch, like he wants to get back to his lethal goal scoring form but he just falls short.

When your fresh, you react first. When you tired, you think about reacting before you actually react; your body is a tad bit slower to do what you want it to do. Which might be exactly whats wrong with his finish.

Btw, I keep reading he was beats on the right for Argentina so I wouldn't be surprise if Lucho moves him out right and plays Suarez centrally (ala when Messi first came into the first team and Eto'o was the striker with Ronaldinho on the left....except this time we would have Neymar on the left. Rakitic would be our new Deco etc)

Lucho already moved him to the right against Almeria and Ajax in the 2nd half. I would actually move him there as well for a period and see if he can regain some physical sharpness when he has to cover more ground from wide and gets to take on 1 fullback regularly with more space and without being crowded by 3 or 4 or 5 players as it happens in the center.

tbh messi already plays like 1/4 of the game on the right, 1/4 in midfield and the other half in the center.
moving him to the right would leave a hole in our already odd midfield system, i rather have messi drop deep then suarez.

We looked much more fluid with Messi on the wing against Ajax. We also looked much more fluid when Messi was injured last season. Messi dropping consistently, offering no runs, always demanding the ball, not pressing and moving only 8 km per game in the center of the park might actually be what is crippling the system right now. Although I'm not saying this is true or not. Just a quick thought. Suarez is as elite as it gets as a central player. Even as a passer. But above all he runs non-stop.
