Are you sure he turned Roma to a mediocre club? The last time I checked, I suppose they are now a champion league team, basking on the discipline and serious changes introduced in the team by Enrique. Garcia could now do well since last season, all thanks to the efforts of Enrique the season before.

Even a humble club like Celta are now gaint killers all because of the midas touch Enrique possesses! I believe if one has to make an omelette, he's got to break some eggs! I guess that's what he does in Barca - instilling some much needed discipline! Before we can get back as a club renowned with winning trophies, discipline must be the watch word and that includes Messi, despite his elevated status as the best player in the world. It's discipline and obedience that would keep him in that exalted position

You do err Sire, I'm certain We talking about different Celta and Roma sides Here.

Because, the Roma I know ended around 10th with Enrique, and Celta struggled with Him at the job too.

Johnpaul88:
And neither was Real Sociedad match a league final or some sort...

It was the same Messi that played 90 minutes against lowly Getafe and we fired blank! What's even the guarantee that we won't have lost that match anyway even if Messi had started? Our away form have been rather poor and Messi has done nothing to change all that.

So our poor away form means our best player be benched when we had the chance to go top with a win? Whichever way you wanna look at it, lucho loses. He shouldn't have put Messi and neymar in the match day squad to begin with

AbuMikey:


Na this one dey pain Me pass

Wen Messi alone don score 14+.
5 goals, chai!

when you analyse the goals, it is more painful sef!

Munir scored 1 goal since either our 1st ot 2nd match........... till today, he has not scored again!

Suarez played 1 million games before he scored 1 goal

Pedro 3 goals are so far apart! We started this season in August, now we are in January, thats 6 months now - Pedro scores 1 goal in every 2 months

Chaiii!

Roma job was more complicated but Celta finished in the top half last season.

Johnpaul88:
Are you absolutely certain of the bolded?

If Messi don't change this "eze onye agwana m" attitude, then it would be difficult for subsequent coaches to coach us. No player can be bigger than the club.

Not like there's some sort of proof but it's common sense

No player is bigger YES, that's why I say life will continue if he leaves but even a baby knows Messi's worth at Barcelona. When you say Messi is being disrespectful, I kinda ask "to who?" lucho?

Enrique loses because you want him to lose. I'm sure that's how our subsequent coaches will all end up being losers while infallible Messi continues to be the goddamn winner. ..

Certainly to Enrique. He remains the boss who decides who plays when and where! Messi must accept this for the good of the club that picked him from nothing and turned him into a cynosure of all eyes.

I guess the whole media wants him to lose too. I'm sure you've seen the media frenzy the Messi benching has caused. It's clear to see

Messi accept being benched for no reason? Or because the coach wants to experiment his stupidity? Yeah he's grateful to Barca. As for Lucho, he has to earn it, and he's doing a very horrible job

Would we see any media frenzy tomorrow because Ancelloti benched Ronaldo and Real lost 2 nil to their arch rival? I'm not sure about that!

All I'm saying of Messi is that the way he's going now does not bode well for the future of the club. His clear dictatorial tendencies does not set a good precedent either. The club might end up being swallowed in the whims and caprices of one man.

God forbid!

Real Madrid are European and world champions, and they're not out of the copa yet, so don't be surprised if you don't see a media frenzy

It won't happen. Messi loves Barcelona and wants what's best for her, even if it means an average coach like lucho gets the boot.

This is what Stoichkov had to say about Messi. And of course, he SHOULD know.

http://www.goal.com/en/news/12/spain/2015/01/06/7704892/stoichkov-barcelona-must-pamper-messi

The Bulgarian claims the club are "in chaos" and says they must do everything in their power to make the Argentina forward feel happy at Camp Nou

Oh Yeah...

Eruditor:


In addition, Roma had 2 more coaches after Enrique the failure. I don't see the logic behind attributing Garcias achievements to Enrique when he had 2 coaches following his own abysmal tenure at the helms. Let me not even talk about Celta for now.

What is happening is that the 'authorities' on this thread who so willy nillyingly supported the signing of this dud and his selling of Cesc and Alexis are beginning to eat their words with 2 plates of humble pie. That's why all this faux-laden achievements are being listed for Enrique- a man who was only employed because of his reputation as an ex-Barca player.

Word!
Imagine attributing another's success to an ascertained failure in failed seasons in charge...
Let's hope he will change for the best and make a good name for himself.
So far,he is drawing the wrath of blaugranas the World over and damaging his own coaching Career CV!

john paul....madrid benched just Ronaldo

but leech or lucho benched messi, neymar, rakitic, i even saw pique on the bench too.


Difference no dey there?

dmcdad:

But how then are you sure the sickness was non-existent? Lucho's policy with injured players has always been that, even in off-days, you would be mandated to train alone at the Cuitat. And Messi did just that yesterday being Tuesday. He went to the Esportiva and trained there alone. Does that not prove to an extent that he wasn't really alright the previous day as he claimed?

My point? Don't run into some unnecessary
conclusions here. You don't know for sure if it really hampered him or not. So I'd rather you don't take a shot in the dark.

Thanks bro! And if almost everyone is not happy with the way the coach manages the team, who then says the players are exempted?

today's match is late oh! - 10pm
