When Tweeted regarding Messi somebody wrote that if Messi came up against Stoke he would go crying back to Spain to which Lineker replied " .... Yes Huth and Shawcross too good for him. "
He must really rate them ;-)
Sorry if already posted.

If I thought Huth and Shawcross were about to come up against Messi.............. I'd be shitting myself.  Lowest form of wit maybe but he's right, and the daftest comment was the one that Lineker was replying to. |

I have a feeling they would too. Actually Huth would prob mistake him for a half time snack and eat him.
Says something that I would have our CB's as the tightest pairing in the Prem and Messi would leave them feeling sick.

I'll start - Lineker's Mrs, absolutely guaranteed she's getting it somewhere else. She's welsh for a start. They're all dirty. |

The defence he destroyed last night are no mugs. Huth and Shawcross have struggled with some very 'ordinary' front men this season in a very poor Premier League. Messi would cope easily with the 'bully boy' tactics (he was fouled almost every time he had the ball last night). He'd be sensational in ANY league. |

Most Premier League defences would do no better than most Spanish defences. Plus he constantly scores in the Champions League so he must be doing something right. |

Plus our pairing simply can't deal with pace and skill, so would be embarrassed.

He's spent 4 years making the World's best defenders look like park footballers so I doubt he'd struggle against our pair of psychos in stripey shirts |

Wilko would take a red for decapitating him, some of his challenges are high anyway and Messi is small so he would have to fear for his face against us. Messi is a great player, as are the rest of the Barcelona team, but we've seen it a few times - put out a solid defence and sit deep against them and you can get a result.
The only thing that stops them is Stoke style play, because anything other than that and you're playing into their hands.

The only thing that stops them is Stoke style play, because anything other than that and you're playing into their hands. A well drilled defence of top internationals went there with a 2 - 0 lead last night mate and I'm sure they intended to keep it tight. He/they are just too good mate when at their best. The frightening thing is they are 'officially' the SECOND BEST team in Spain. |
