Messi was on a 20 PK conversion streak. Koeman holds the record with 25. Guess he won't get that "record".
Yes Messi gave me a double present today Thank you Messi for that All I know is we HAVE to play better against AM on Wednesday
I'd say we'll drop at least 4 pts playing like this (assuming we advance in the CL). Terrible 2nd half performance.
If Neymar, Alexis and Cesc finish off their chances, this actually would look one sided. Time to support Sociedad.
On to Atletico and the continuation of the stalemate. Hopefully 2-2 this time. But I'd take a dominating victory.
We often struggled in first leg ... 1-2 against Arsenal, 2-2 against Arsenal, 1-1 against PSG, 0-2 against AC milan
Look at what Lampard did. You might think it belongs to the OTT but just look at it http://www.101greatgoals.com/gvideos/2-0-frank-lampard-chelsea-v-stoke/ Almost at the same time
Apparently good finishing might be asking too much. But the problem is how often Betis was able to almost score. Now I know psychologically the team was probably in 2nd gear. ATM who is much better barely got a sniff of the goal this past week. But if we advance in the CL, I am not so sure we won't see the team play like this again in La Liga. At that point we'll be really riding our luck.
We got full credit for only one half of effort. Hope it just means were saving it all for Atleti. No, used to live here back in 2002-03. Darkest days of the Gaspart regime, IIRC.
I'm not sure what's going to happen with Barca's appeal - but if they are allowed to sell and buy players this summer Sanchez has to go. I don't think I've ever seen an attacker so utterly clueless about what to do with the ball once he's inside the penalty area. He used to play well against relegation teams and disappear against the big teams (except two games against Real Madrid) - but now he's starting to fade against the relegation teams.
Not to burst that picture's bubble, but I don't think you can interpret it that way. I am pretty sure that shows how many PKs they've scored in La Liga not how many were awarded to each team in their respective time periods. From 04 to probably 08, Messi wasn't Barca's PK taker. So most of those 40 have probably come in the last 5 years or so.
like I mentioned in another thread he seems to take to many touches and lose awareness of where the ball is at some point but hey he seems to improve every season
I think it's fair to say that Messi is just about as much "Pessi" (terrible nickname btw, too close to "Pissy") as CR7 is "Penaldo".
