Once again, once Messi is not getting enough support from the team he is rendered very ineffective, and our team loses. Messi needs to track back and participates more instead of being a bystander watching the actions from afar.

Like almost every player in history..
Nothing will change if he started tracking back more as long as there's no one to actually finish the chances he will create by doing so. So, no point in that.
It is NOT a coincidence that he got ''lazier'' after Villa's injury. All he is doing is preserving his energy so he can get us out of trouble (which he has done constantly the last 2 seasons) at any point during a match.

Several occasions during today's match, Messi was merely a few meters away from the action (usually he was behind the Bayern player holding the ball), he just stood there and did nothing. Obviously I am not asking him to make a tackle,
but he could have at least tried to harass the Bayern player(s) in front of him by trying to take the ball away or something. Also, he could have dropped back more to the miefield where he could dictate the play a bit, providing very deadly passes 
worthy, I felt he was pretty much drifting at the front waiting for service today.

He's just back from vacation, and it was a friendly, give him a break... Last time he played a real match, he was injured, let the guy get his groove back...

Well, he might not be 100% match-fit, I will give you that. But his walking around the pitch, standing and watching is not new. I just hope Leo will be as hungry as we fans are once the season starts, putting his game mode on and kicking some arse.

It is just a friendly match. Messi as far as I'm aware didn't ''just stood there and did nothing'' in the Milan game last season at Camp Nou.

What would be the point? Alexis will waste any chances he gets anyway..
Messi will start tracking back when we get someone that Messi can rely on to score when he gets the chance to. He is not getting ''lazy''. There is just no point in tracking back, dropping to the midfield or pressing when you know 95% of chances you create will be wasted anyway.

Messi: "I don't have anything to do with the appointment of Martino, the club decides that. I don't know him personally, didn't meet him."
Messi: "I think Martino is a good signing. He showed what he's capable of at Newell's and Paraguay. Let's hope we will do well with him."
Messi: "After what happened with Tito, we're slowly starting again. We should get ready for a tough year."

Are you saying Messi doesn't trust Alexis' finishing ability therefore he didn't track back to provide more distribution and passes? Messi selectly does that depending on who is playing with? I just don't buy that, it is so absurd that it can't be true.
