He is part of the problem, but it would not be right if he leaves now, this should not be his last game for Barca, that would not be right.

Barca would still be top 4 without a doubt.

The way Barca play is slow one dimensional football for Messi and lesser extent Suarez to come up with indiviudal moments.

Messi plays a part in that being the approach.

Nah, in the immediate post-Messi future, we wouldn't be top 4 in Europe at all, more like top 10. We might even struggle to get to top 4 in La Liga. But we have to start there and get better from there.

Messi will have to play as a CF next season, that's the only way we can accommodate his lack of tracking back.

Play coutinho--messi--dembele(if he can stay fit)

Can't be any worst than what we have now.

Coutinho cant play LW.

Particularly in team with Messi in it but agree that is only position that does not weaken Barca massively in their structure.

Cant play him RW or AM as too many other players games are impacted to cover for him.

It’s crazy to think a 35 year old CR7 still runs a lot more than him, dudes fitness needs to be credited more by this forum

Barcelona without Messi would be still a top team in Spain but there's no way they can actually win the league without him. Without Messi the first season for Barcelona would be like Real Madrid's first season without Ronaldo or even worse. The players here are not good enough in the attacking third to get consistent results for 38 matches.

No and he plays a part in that also.

Messi lack of pressing tracking back make a balanced 433 almost impossible. Made worse by other old players.

Leads to shitty slow football which suits Messi waiting for individual moments.

yeah he wants us to play shit and have slow play. he wants us to get shitty players a la griezmann, dembele or coutinho. he wants us to give the manager job to a cow herder. KDB best player ever!

jamdav, tackle and serghei - just fuck off with all the messi hate, you morons

Is there right way? If he continues, what are the chance he goes out smiling and happy and winning something with this team? Very small chance.

The slow game suits him and his lack of effort off the ball impacts team structure.

Fuck off yourself you fucking mink.

CR7 runs only 9 km a game, actually.

Messi runs 7.

But CR7 does use those extra 2 km very, very well in and around the box.
