The goal machine continues

Didn't see his goal, and can't be bothered to watch the highlights, was it any good?

I saw a glimpse of the celebrations, he looked good in his long sleeves and gloves tonight.

Great first touch then snapshot with his right foot. Decent enough but not worth searching for really.

deflected off a player, keeper got a hand to it, hit the post and went in

lololololololol.

Messi should have scored another, pure brilliance between a few players in the build up then Messi miscontrolled when he was one on one.

First time in his life he mis-controlled a ball.

Started adding assists to the count as well. I'm not sure if Messi got assisted for Pedro's goal against Getafe, but it should count as an assist for Messi. That means he scored a goal and assisted the other two in the game.

I fucking hate messi ... so overrated and nowhere near Ronaldo's quality.

Messi >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ronaldo.

Ronaldo hits about 20 shots wide a game.

Wrong.

Messi assists in the first minute he comes on.

Messi scores in the his 3rd minute on the pitch.

Too. Damn. Good.

Messi almost assists again. I fucking love watching this guy.

Last Goal: v Cueta (10 November 2010)

Messi comes on in the second half and instantly makes the game more interesting. In his first 3 minutes, he manages to assist Bojan and score himself a goal. But that wasn't it as he assisted Nolito but the young striker didn't get it in the back of the net. Messi managed a one on one with the keeper soon after but the ball was deflected by the keeper form the tight angle.

Last Goal: 2 v Villarreal (13 November 2010)

One more goal and another 4 people are wrong.

Ridiculous.

Ridiculous some people voted 6-9

Think that's his 50th since the turn of the year.

50 goals in his last 46 games

When do you lot think will he peak?

Think he's peaking now, I think he'll decline quicker than your average footballer.

I think you're right because I tend to jinx things quite a lot.

He has. What more do you want him to do? Have a 2 goals in every game ratio?

I agree. It's not that because Messi isn't good enough to play at a consistent level for several years (he has already proven that), but rather because he is being played a lot by Barca. There was no need to put him on against Ceuta when Barca were leading 3-0, but I guess Guardiola loves to play him.

The thing with Messi is that when he gets older and starts to lose his pace he'll still be a fantastic playmaker. Once he hits his 30's he'll have developed even more vision and a better reading of the game. He'll still be one of the best in the world up until he retires.

He's small though...if he loses his pace, how is he going to beat defenders as a winger/forward?
