Topic: Lionel Messi

[MidwestWool]

I feel for Clichy.

[scoresagain]

Fucking hell. The barca fans at the stadium are all gonna need a wank after that.

there was no need for the wanking. i trouser sneezed when he took on the the third defender for the penalty.

[jotirori]

Whoever honestly thinks Rooney is better than Messi needs to have their head chopped off.

    that's not possible. To be at that level you need to be Argentinian or Brazilian.

[Hazell]

Jeff Stelling yesterday said Rooney was better player and that Messi was having a bad season. 

Quoted for posterity.

[lfc_fan2005]

I am lost for words.

[Lent§]

Just in case you missed it on the last page, he's the best player i have EVER seen.

[afcgooner]

Nightmare...

[Lent§]

Nightmare...

You're fucked son.

[scoresagain]

Nightmare...

hmmm messi vs sol campbell....should be brilliant!

[scoresagain]

You're fucked son.

and i'm in agreement with you, the best i've ever seen, the best i will EVER see.

[Popcorn]

Nightmare...

I fear for you's.

I'm in fucking awe at how good this lad is and the fact he's only 22 is frightening.

[Ryba]

Nightmare...

Good luck with that!

[scoresagain]

yet...on fifa, hes still shit.

[amir87]

yet...on fifa, hes still shit.

That's only cos your controlling his dribbling...

[afcgooner]

Best we can hope for against him is defend the space in behind but just work hard and close him down all the time. He is so good that he will beat players for fun but its all about trying to limit his impact on the game.

Hes ability can be put somply into todays terms..In the modern day of football manager scouts and fifa ;

"Lionel Messi would be a leading star for any Team"

Play 3 left backs and 3 holding midfielders and then you might just be able to stop him getting a 6th touch on the ball

the problem is, he can skin 3 players in the space of 5 yards.

so clichy, gibbs and silvestre, denilson, song, diaby
..........yeh arsenal are fucked.

[Lush is the best medicine...]

meh, he's no nicklas bendtner

[afcgooner]

Silvestre might not play..

Song could fill in at CB and Diaby goes into midfield which i would not mind.

[afcgooner]

Silvestre not playing is Arsenal's only hope

Id be more scared of Silvestre than i am of Messi.

That guy is a real nightmare.. awful CB

[paulrazor]

Bendy has 4 CL goals, and Messi has 4 CL goals. Clearly Bendy is superior.

this guy rules

the reactions were comical

[Rotation]

You just can't argue with stats mate.

[jaffod]

Rooney is prem proven so Rooney > Messi

  Prem proven? Is the PL the yardstick of world football now? Don't know if you're being sarcastic or serious to be honest.

[scoresagain]

i dont think its a case of stats, you dont need them, its clear, bendy is a far better player. messi doesnt miss half as many chances as bendy, what does that say about messi ey?

["Nookie".]

[scoresagain]

Bendy?

ey! dont you diss the bendy! and his unsurpassed finishing ability.

[paulrazor]

Bendy?

i giggled at that too

[dobbadobbs]

Absolutely ridiculous player, out of this world, from another planet.

Can't find a superlative that would be fitting for him, the form he's in at present.

Defenders just bounce off him and he has an unbelievable turn of pace, once he's in full flight he's just unstoppable.

Spent the whole 90 minutes in awe, sublime, a joy to watch.

kinda like bendtnar *wistful sigh

[royhendo]

Went to the local boozer to watch the game, and arrived just after Barca's first. I was the only person watching, other than the barman who was fucked off cos he had to turn away from the screen half the time and missed every goal/incident.

I was out of my seat at the second goal and at the dribble for the penalty. What a player!? It was a privilege to see that.

What he said.

[Ryba]

34 goals in 38 matches. Barring injury or rest, a minimum of 13 more matches, with a maximum of 15. On this form he could reach 50 goals!
