FernandoR20 2,133 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Am I the only person in the world who doesn't like Messi? Don't get me wrong he's a great player I just think he's overrated and what he said about us playing "anti-football" when we kept a clean sheet against Barca was abit out of order.

4MenHadADream 122 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I agree about the whole Barcelona complaining about "anti-football" thing, but he is a joy to watch and tbh I don't feel he is overrated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jelavic191 4,439 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Agree with the anti-football thing, how often do a team like rangers keep a clean sheet against the attacking prowess of Barcelona. I think proper defending like that is an art form. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Sasac 164 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 He's arguably the greatest player the world has ever seen, so people try to stand out by slating him at every opportunity. Not saying you do this, but there are people who will argue that black is white just to try and put Messi down.So no. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Jela 20,361 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Overrated ? No chance, his talent is undeniable. But *tin hat on* I've noticed he can be a greedy wee shite at times.Edit - and yes I don't particularly like him either, maybe that has something to do with my burning hatred for FC Cunt of Barcelona though.

4MenHadADream 122 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 It's when people rate him as the greatest player ever, thats how I feel he's overrated.Fair enough, I can understand that. I think he is undoubtedly the best player playing at the moment, but I find the whole cross-generational comparison a bit pointless tbh, after all it is essentially impossible to compare Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieD 18,941 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Overrated ? No chance, his talent is undeniable. But *tin hat on* I've noticed he can be a greedy wee shite at times.He does see (and ask for) a lot of the ball, but I'd think 58 goals justified a little bit of greed even if he hadn't made 22 assists this season. He does a lot for his team-mates, even if he expects a lot from them in return. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yata 161 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Fat Ronaldo (although messi still edges it)Although because of his injury problems never had a chance to get near his full potential, although the glimpses people saw terrified defences Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
