La Liga - 2012/2013

[Skorenzy]

What did he get last season in all comps? wasn't it like 72?

Post above yours.. repeated


Yeah last season, 73 in 60 for Barcelona, 9 in 9 for Argentina = 82 goals in 69 games

So far this season: 30 in 23 for Barcelona, 5 in 6 for Argentina = 35 goals in 29 games


---------

+ 34 assists in those 69 games last season, that's 1.20 goals and 0.49 assists per game

So he basically guarantees you a goal every game + an assist every two games.

Another great thing about Messi is that he is made of iron. Has he had a semi serious injury in the last 3 years? I can hardly remember him missing a game.

 

[Skorenzy]

Lol,

MessiStats ‏@MessiStats

Messi needed 21 league games last season to reach 23 goals. It's taken him just 15 games this season [via @champ_ian]

 

[Marcosdeto]

what a miss!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Skorenzy]

What a save by Valdés after his own feck-up

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

Valdes.

 

[Vato]

Valdes

 

[Proud_Lyon]

3-4 semaines out for Fabregas. He torn his left hamstring apparently.

 

[Skorenzy]

Alexis

That's weeks or months?

Edit: well I'm of course an idiot, no torn hamstring lasts 4 months.

Well at least not if you aren't Hargreaves.

 

[Skorenzy]

That's weeks or months?

Weeks

 

[DixieDean]

Didn't Tomas Rosicky have an hamstring injury that lasted like a year?

My bad NL. I am listening to French commentary and it is of course "weeks", and not months. Sorry about that.

 

[NoLogo]

Yeah well he is pretty much the Owen Hargreaves of Arsenal if you ask me.

 

[Marcosdeto]

another miss!!!!!

 

[McLovin]

So lucky there

 

[NoLogo]

Barca lucky to be still in the lead here.

 

[Vato]

Valdes lucky with his posts today.

 

[KingEric7]

Alvaro Vadillo...absolute FM legend. How good is he then?

 

[Vato]

Wtf Molina, score ffs!

 

[Marcosdeto]

off the bar!

 

[Vato]

Off the bar again, I'm going to cry.

 

[NoLogo]

Barca really lucky to be still leading.

Not a convincing performance in the second half at all.

 

[Vato]

Betis deserve at least a draw right now.

 

[bosnian_red]

Barcelona are getting so lucky here

 

[Marcosdeto]

what a play! barca misses a great chance

 

[Arruda]

What a goal that would have been.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Alba

 

[Orton]

What a save!

 

[Skorenzy]

Wtf

 

[NoLogo]

How many post or cross bar hits has this game seen so far?

This is absurd.

 

[Vato]

Wtf is going on!

 

[Skorenzy]

3 for Betis, 2 for Barça, I think.. and Pedro missed a 1-on-1

 

[Vato]

43 out of 45 points. Yeah, we need a miracle.

 

[NoLogo]

Barca with a narrow win.

Overall I feel not undeserved, had more shots on goal overall but they surely couldn't have complained if the game would have ended with a draw.

 

[NoLogo]

43 out of 45 points. Yeah, we need a miracle.

Indeed.

That being said I don't believe in miracles.

 

[Brwned]

Messi scores two, Iniesta MOTM - typical day at the office! We're lucky to see these two playing together at their peak. It's what Zidane and Ronaldo should've been.

 

[Vato]

Indeed.

That being said I don't believe in miracles.

Me neither, we'll have to do it with only the CL this year then.

 

[Snake Plissken]

id struggle to give iniesta MOTM there. Aside from a relatively simple cut back I don't think he caused them too many problems.

I thought that victory was undeserved actually.

Iniesta?

No-one really stood out consistently, Messi had a terrific 1st half and was extremely clinical overall, 4 shots, 2 goals, 1 post. Faded in the 2nd half.

Iniesta probably kept possession best of all, but even though he had 2 assists he didn't create that many real chances/danger. He wasn't any more noticeable than his Betis counterpart Beñat, I thought, who also played a good game but not MOTM-worthy. Adriano and Piqué were okay, Vadillo as well when he came on. In the end I'd give it to Messi personally.

As an aside, I do believe people are starting to overrate Iniesta.
