Are you serious?

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sat 23 Mar 2013 - 1:52

I think the Milan game showed that is a myth tbf.

As long as the striker in question is intelligent with his movement it will always enhance Messi's play imo.

by Ganso Sat 23 Mar 2013 - 1:53

shoulder =/= penalty.jeez...

by Albiceleste Sat 23 Mar 2013 - 1:53

I am more than happy with this half. Messi has brought his goat form to the NT. Masche and gago are bossing, fedfern has been imperious as the stopping cb, him and zabaleta have that right side completely locked down romero has been totally untested. Rojo sucks though.

That handball was clearas day, it hit him on the upper arm

The build up from Argentina is :bow:

Someone throw me a neutral donut ffs, I'm drowning in a tidal wave of Argentine bias

great half.....
everyone looked so confident..however passing back to messi for no reason annoyed me in few cases. defense looking very solid, mash playing well, zabaleta needs to run faster Very Happy

and the overall passing accuracy was great i think
higuain superb finish. messi so far playing well....is there another game on midweek??

La Selección Argentina - Page 21 Wm368433tt

What can you expect in International friendlies as the bar isn't set to high for refs.

No doubt it wasn't a penalty.

At Barca he has to do both put Villa as a CF and Messi behind him consistently and you will see him play like that.
The usual argument against a plan b at barca is that putting a CF in front of messi will take up his spaces and make him less effective

Only if you put another false 9 like Fabregas or Slutan Ibrahimovic infront of him. True predators like Higuain or Villa who don't need many touches complement him very well though.

I just saw it again Its a handball, he doesnt hit with his shoulder, he tries to, but misses and it hits the back of his upper arm instead.

Also Gago just recovered and fed a fantastic ball to Montillo, who bottled it. Gagiesta :bow:

by futbol Sat 23 Mar 2013 - 2:16

And why is Gago playing like a young Xavi for Argentina?! Proud

So we agree it was the shoulder and not the hand/arm?

by BarrileteCosmico Sat 23 Mar 2013 - 2:21

Lex wrote:So we agree it was the shoulder and not the hand/arm?

Given that it's the outer part of the shoulder i'd consider it part of the arm
I'll admit it's not as clear as I originally thought and I think it was a harsh penalty but don't find the call a robbery

Pipita with another goal :bow:

Messi with another assist :bow:

It was offside though hmm

by Albiceleste Sat 23 Mar 2013 - 2:21

Smashing them as i thot we would

by Donuts Sat 23 Mar 2013 - 2:22
