2010 wants its post back. Fair enough, but he's still the best footballer in the world by a mile.

Messi is so good it's unbelievable.

He's better than most of the players on that team tbf.

WELBECK! You can't finish like that there ffs.

Switched channels to see Fellaini lose possession and then be cheered when he cleared with a header

85% possession apparently No surprises then

How's the Man U game? Bayern dominating?

Diego Simeone trying to talk some sense onto Diego Costa who wants to get back in after feeling for his hamstring :lol: What a beast. He's pulled it. No doubt, can't move still wants to play.

Diego Costa pulled his hamstring. Barcelona are lucky here.

The 2nd part is fair enough. But in 2006 he scored the winner in the last 16 to help France reach the finals and it also doesn't help not having a manager who understands the game. What impact has Messi made on the international stage for Argentina?

Haven't seen him in any big games then I guess. Not sure about that. Hardly shines for France, rarely the star Bayern man on big club occasions either. ? In the qualifiers against Ukraine he was the best player on the pitch and was in many ways as good as CRonaldo against Sweden except the goals. Against Chelsea he scored a goal in the Supercup and gave Chelsea some problems, although Chelsea managed to keep the game tight. Last year against Barcelona he was excellent. It's only the final in which he wasn't great and that was because Robben absolutely stole the show. I think it's a valid point in all honest. He's certainly upped his game in the big encounters in the last twelve months but prior to that he always flattered to deceive in tournaments and the like. I remember him being quite instrumental on their road to the CL final that they lost to Chelsea. He's also a player who does so much under-appreciated things on the pitch.

Serves them right for not buying any CB's tbh. No doubt.

Pique injured. Bartra in. Poor Barcelona Bartra and Mascherano. Can see Diego Costa dominating them.

TBF to him I don't think it's any lack of confidence or talent. It's a complete lack of will. Think he's had enough. Benched while playing well as CB, not dropped when playing badly as RB, it's just like it doesn't really matter.

I'm not feeling it. 1-1. Messi and Costa one each. There's something extremely disturbing with Neymar on the right. Hasn't worked once this season, if you want to play Iniesta on the left then Neymar has to be moved to the bench. Pedro is much more effective there.

:lol:

As harsh as it sounds. The same. Even less with the World Cup. Happy as fuck that the World Cup is this summer so you don't have to bother with any silly season shit.

We still wouldn't score goals.

I'd have him back. I'd splash all the cash in the world (that Mike has, probably a maximum of £20m) on him and Remy.

It wasn't.

I thought he has done well when playing CB not next to Colo. He does the Colo role perfectly, he's no physical beast. With Colo on the downhill and probably leaving at the end of the season we should just look to get a physical player. I don't rate Shawcross that highly, but a player in his or Caulkers mould would be perfect for us. Williamson isn't good enough to start for this club and Taylor has gotten chance after chance after chance without ever convincing anyone that he's supposed to be a starter in the PL. I guess nothing of this will happen and we will be selling MBiwa, Colo and looking to bring someone in like Roger Johnson

I'm glad I don't take you seriously. What a load of shit you provide at times man.
