The question barca fans need to ask themselves is if its worth to lose all tactical capabilities in the team for two/three moments of messi magic? Is that worth the sacrifice? It will still probably work in LL but expect another smashing in UCL if messi drops deep.
The question you need to ask yourself, Ritchie, is: Do we have such a good team that Messi is the problem and is pulling us back? Are we Liverpool from the last two seasons without Messi?
We wouldn't have lost 8-2 with Coutinho or Griezmann instead of Messi? Are we suddenly in contention for the CL if Messi is out of the squad?
