Messi one man team

castle

I watched the match and if not for Messi then Barcelona would have been out tonight, he had to come on injured to help wil them the game
If you put Messi in any of the top 5 teams in any league then that team would win their league, in Premiership take Arsenal if they had Messi they would win the Premiership etc,

Bill O Herlihy on here now ?

Coming out with the most ridiculous statements

artanevilla

Xavi, Iniesta, Villa...

man united ...RVP
Man City ...toure
Madrid ....ronaldo
Chelsea.....torres ....wait?

Journeyman, past it, flash-harry. Or something like that.

They're not as good without the greatest player of all time? No shít!

Of course his absence has a huge impact. Everything goes through Messi and there's nobody else like him so there's no way of even semi replacing him.

Without Messi they go from being an exceptional side to a very good one. You can hardly use it as a criticism, it's just a fact!

Lawrence1895

Send him to Shels, and AM would sort him out...either way

cson

The other 10 on the team are robbing a living off his back Bill.

GLaDOS

Yep, that's why Spain never win anything

FYP. a 3 month injury to Messi would answer a few questions though, likewise Ronaldo at Madrid. both have great teams, but they seem to rely too much on them, however we are talking about 2 of the greatest players of all time.

Argentina didn't win a major trophy in a few years, did they?

Bodhisopha

It seems they are far too reliant on him considering the amazing talent they have in their team. That's my early impression, might just have been an off night for them, though.

castle

World cup is far cry from best league in the world, and remember he was injured just like Tiger when he won a Major, so far ahead it unreal , of course no way of ever getting him to play for Arsenal but if he did they would win Premiership and maybe CL, the rest of Barcelona looked very ordinary
NB Spain had to play against some great teams:) like Ireland to win Euro's

I dont think Barcelona are a one man team, but they do rely on Messi too much. They have a fantastic squad

Essien

Taking Messi out of any team would have a massive impact. IMO, it's less a criticism of Barcelona and more an illustration of just how good Messi is.

Andersonisgod

Because Spain (a team without Messi), with a team made up mostly (sometimes almost entirely) of Barcelona players are dreadful and haven't won a thing with this generation of footballers....

Essien

Spain have Torres...same thing

Kidchameleon

He's still not good enough for this keeper...

Bounty Hunter

The best player in the world would greatly improve any team - of course
Any top 5 team would win with him added - Well him at Argentina hasn't equaled a mass throphy haul but (club level) who knows
Are Barca too reliant on him - Maybe but we can discuss that elsewhere like their own thread
Could this thread if kept open be filled with "funny" gifs and retorts making fun of peoples opinions - sadly you would think so
