You seriously think Barca are the 6th best side in Spain without Messi?

Just backs up my padding stats argument.

Without Messi, Villa, Pedro ( off form), Pique off form, Puyol injured, Abidal injured, Xavi off form, Iniesta off form and injured they probably are not far off that....

That's the reason he carried them so much last season, defensively practically all the players were injured or off form apart from Alves.

Same goes for Midfield apart from Busquets and Pedro was playing like a scrub all season and Villa was injured.

All them points together meant that Messi was basically a one man band.

if all those players were on form and fit and Messi was out then it's a different story but fact is most of Barca's team Messi a side was off form or injured.

They were so so so close to breaking that duck last season with Simeone until Ronaldo's amazing goals that helped us win

Atleti will never in against us, even at the start of this season where we even lost against Getafe Castilla, Atleti would never have won.

Maybe its a curse who knows

Wouldn't call it a curse its just Atletico just completely throw their mentality down the drain when playing Madrid.

Its the same with Tottenham vs United (despite the recent win).

Madrid face very little pressure against Atleti due to their past records and that Atleti literally let them walk over them despite the rivalry. Its pathetic lol

Messi was a lone forward for Barca last season. All attack and final end product came from Missi tbh. Not so hard to break records if you are an only forward for your club. Just look at RVP Laughing

by _LMG_10_ Fri Oct 12, 2012 8:47 pm

at this thread. It turned into a messi vs ronaldo thread as usual

And ppl STILL don't understand that the ballon d'or is an award for INDIVIDUAL brilliance, not team trophies ffs.

There should be a giant sticky in the forum that states this, so we avoid useless posts from delusional ronaldo lovers

They were quite aggressive and wanted to win last time, Falcao scored a brilliant goal and it stood like that until the 60th min until we got a freekick and Ronaldo scored and then scored another through a long shot, you can't blame their players for that tbh

They did their best, also the game before they were leading until Courtois got red carded and we won, i mean they have been quite unlucky against us tbh

by VanDeezNuts Fri Oct 12, 2012 8:57 pm

i am not seeing how this is shameful. or news for that matter.

every coach in the history of the world will standup for their player if said player is up for an award.

when tito is asked about who should win is it also going to be a crime if he says messi, or if conte is asked and he says pirlo?

i mean come on this isnt even thread worthy, this happens all the time.

mourinho is both his coach and countryman it doesnt take a scientist to determine there will be bias.

It's not drivel though.

Barca went from the greatest club side of all time entirely based on ball movement and unselfishness to a team built towards maximizing Messi's talents.

You'd expect the likes of Iniesta, Xavi, Cesc, Villa, Ibra, Alexis etc stats to increase at such a club but it's the exact opposite.

The norm for every player is to improve when surrounded by better players, no?.....but Barcelona seems to be the exception. Why is that?

If someone can explain why that is in detail, I promise to end all the stat-padding theories.

by kiranr Fri Oct 12, 2012 9:07 pm

Because a player's worth is not determined by his stats. Are you serious Gil with that question Gil? You think a player can improve only if he improves his stats?

Ronaldo deserve the ballon d'or. But I think Messi will win it cause he is more of a nice guy and loved by the media.

And while Messi's goal record is impressing he played more games than Ronaldo with all the extra cups the CL contributed with from the year before. And scoring like 10 goals almost all from penalty spot when the league as already over to claim the pichichi.

There is bias in what he said so no reason go crazy. Mou said what he thought and he has every right to think that. Plus how would it look when the coach of Madrid is not supporting his own players.

I do have to disagree because Ronaldo deserves to be praised but he is unlucky that Messi is playing. Messi is just above everyone.

by chad4401 Fri Oct 12, 2012 11:52 pm

tbh i dont even see how this is a debate, when at the end of day no matter what ronaldo does and i mean no matter what!, game deciding goals, big game performances, individual brillance,etc....., most are gonna say messi> just cause that how it always been, and some don't wanna see that change

i mean iniesta won euro player of the year ffs and some in this forum admitted he was off form for barca most of last season and had a great euro with a stacked spain team that alone was enough to trump everything ronaldo did, its a farce and its plain as day to see

messi is the better player that is true, but ron has really stepped it up lately and close the gap imo, yet he gets no credit cause he will never be as good as messi that bs, it should be a toss up between the 2

Everyone already knows you lover cr7 and Madrid so you don't have to show it in every single post.

Madrid fans say CR7 should win it, now pause and think why would a Madrd fan go against their best player that is what being a fan is all about.

I must say one thing, there is no way in hell that CR7 led Portugal to the semis please stop riding his junk so much that you make him the best player in all his games. Don't care what you guys say it is true just ask a neutral.

I do have to disagree because Ronaldo deserves to be praised but he is unlucky that Messi is playing. Messi is just above everyone.

Finally, thank you.

BTW i love the argument of Barca being 6th without Messi.

6th lol what crap team. Oh sure they did beat the hell out of us these past few years. But who cares lol. 6th!? Best "TEAM" of all time i guess lol.

Dude, how many point less did we get than you? Not a single logical barca fan will say that last season the team was up to its standard a.k.a the standard that made some say that Barca were the best team ever, not a single one. And the only player that was up to his standard was Messi (maybe busquets and mascherano) not Xavi, not Iniesta, not Pique, not Valdes, not Pedro and not Sanchez. Then we had some important player who were injured alot, like Xavi, puyol and Villa. Last season Messi really did do almost everything in the last third by himself..
