vs. Athletic Bilbao
We should have scored 2/3 more goals in this match, missed quite a few easy goals. Neymar needs to forget his fancy stuffs and concentrate being efficient.
To be fair he has been for the most part his season.
Neymar only attempts the fancy stuff after we go ahead in the scoreline. But yes, he needs to cut it out for the most part.
He has been ridiculously good these past couple of months. I don't think there are other players in the world who have this great understanding like Messi and Neymar do.
On current form, easily and by far the best in the world.

The ridiculous thing about these clips are that they're always all from 1 matchvs. Athletic Bilbao
It's unbelievable.The ridiculous thing about these clips are that they're always all from 1 match
If we have one of our players do something like that once in a match then we'd all go giddy.
Absolutely. It really is crazy. Put those highlights in someone's "monthly reel" and he'd be up for player of the month
That's why never do him justice. His passing is outrageously good.
He's been incredible since the turn of the year. Well and truly back to his best.
Yep, in the last 2 months he's the only player across Europe's top 5 leagues to have scored as many league goals as Harry Kane .. so hats off, that's some going!
I'd say he's in the best form of his career. He's just a genius, untouchable.
when Messi sent Marcelo on a first class flight back to Brazil
I actually love that move. Here's a couple of old ones I thought were great
18 year old Messi vs Roberto Carlos
From the same game vs Carlos and Cannavaro, couple of months before Cannavaro received his Ballon D'or

This pass still amazes me. The finishing still angers me.

I love body feints.
11 games into the new year:
14 goals
7 assists
Including the 3 goals 1 assist for the ongoing match. Looks like Messi is back to his best.

I'd say he was back to his best from pretty much as soon as the season started.
Just got a hat trick on his 300th game!
Hattrick scored at the moment.
At the moment by far the best player in the world.
Messi on a resurgent form. Curious to see how Kompany and Mangala will handle him. (or how beat up they'll be, who knows)
Another hattrick? Wow!
Hope he scores another against City!!

Does he still need Xavi and Iniesta to create for him then?
Definitely best in the world at the moment.
Stats are just numbers, you may interpret in any way you like. Doesn't mean this will continue whole season, but it's by itself amazing that we get this after playing quiet a few games.
Never wasn't the best player. Now he's back to the "it's bloody obvious" levels.
Shame he isn't an efficient 90-95% penalty taker to jack up the stats more.

Another wonderful assist.
'Ronnie' had his fun, Messi is back.
Different class.
Keep clogging his space with hundreds of defenders? He'll just put the guy on the opposite flank through on goal instead.

Really dismantled the mighty Levante today. :clap:
Better than performing poorly against the mighty Deportivo, right Cal?
TBF, it didn't need any Messi-esque performance today. Levante were very poor. If his finishing were to his usual standards, he could have scored 5 himself. But that's not the context here, we are talking about this season so far. He's just showing his versatility in playing in any part of the attacking half, again..
I would say that the 'dinked/lobbed' passes for onrushing wide players across the box should be termed as Messi-pass from now!
Did I say anywhere that "he" had a good game yesterday? Just find it quite funny how "some people" are so quick to go OTT with their Messi praising, perhaps they'd consider waiting till he plays some big games in the CL or at least tops the scoring charts?
