Where were you with this comment when we won the 6 trophies in a year with Messi as a false 9 ? We do not have Henry and Eto'o anymore but instead have Pedro and Sanchez. It's not Messi as a false 9 the problem , the problem is that he doesn't have world class players around in the offensive line. Plus , our defence was made of Alves , Pique , Puyol , Abidal . Pique and Alves were on beast mode ,Puyol was Puyol , Abidal , maybe the best LB in the world that time, wasn't a offensive defender like Alves, so we had allot of balance in our defence. The team does not suffer because of Messi as a false 9 . It suffers because now we have a joke of deffense and without Messi , a very mediocre offensive line. It's easy as that.
Just quoting this because it is so true.
