After seeing yesterday's performance, wondering when we will be title contenders again...

Today thoroughly enjoyed ars-lei match.. It was entertaining throughout.. So many chances created but lacked finishing.. Great substitutions made by wegner.. Man of the match for me was girourd though..

Why didn't he just let Suare take the penalty and stand in somewhere back? Or is there some rule that he must be in the spotlight all the time?


Because if Messi had scored it would have been his 300th GOAL for Barcelona. That's why he took the penalty (and he usually takes them). Second, it was Messi's move that got Barcelona a penalty.
But, Suárez was short on one goal, and so Messi decided to pass the ball instead of going for his 300th mark.

(also, while Suárez being good at penalty, he's better at finishing goals when ball is moving/closer distance)

It's just for FUN. Not sure why anyone would be mad over this. It's pure fun. Entire stadium went crazy, and every one is going to remember this for long time.

(this also counts as MISSED penalty for Messi. Don't forget that.)

Messi and Barca are fine in my books, but absolutely hate this bastard. So much cringe and I cant believe all the Barca fans just enjoy his commentary.

The season is most likely done for us and the guy will just ride into the sunset at our expense.

I dont think he will sign for United, the transition we are going through is not similar to the one we had during 04-06.It will be a while before United can actually challenge for the title.

Pochettino then?

 

he has no reason to sign with United as Spurs are likely to qualify for CL and they have the best home grown talent in the league and they are all pretty young. Giggsey will most likely take over from LvG.

 

Also, its going to be really tough for you lot and us to make it to top 4. The league will not be a four horse race as all the teams are getting insane TV contract money from next season.

Haters gonna hate.

 

What hater? I'm literally pointing out the obvious. For your information, I happen to like Leo Messi. I just don't think this was as unselfish as you'd think.

 

Because if Messi had scored it would have been his 300th GOAL for Barcelona. That's why he took the penalty (and he usually takes them). Second, it was Messi's move that got Barcelona a penalty.

But, Suárez was short on one goal, and so Messi decided to pass the ball instead of going for his 300th mark.

I'm not angry at this clever little penalty pass. Cool move, and even I wouldn't forget it for quite a while. What really makes me mad is those halfbrained noob fans who think this is the most unselfish act in the history of football. (There may not the that many here, but Facebook is full of these). Messi could have simply walked off and let Suarez have his moment (A better option that doing this routine). Alternatively, Messi could have simply scored that penalty (and there's nothing wrong with that). Whether Messi won the penalty in the first place is immaterial, he normally takes them. If he wanted that Suarez score off this one, why not just let him take the penalty?

Well, I don't use Facebook, so no idea.

 

Second, 'while Suárez being good at penalty, he's better at finishing goals when ball is moving/closer distance'. Plus, taking penalty directly is kind of pressure on player. Suárez and Messi obviously discussed it before making a move.

 

I wouldn't say most unselfish act and crap. It's just something cool they wanted to try, and it worked well.
