I personally don't want to see Messi in the middle ever again.
It worked good in first Pep's years.
Later our opponents figured out how to close us down when we play through the middle.
Tito and Tata couldn't find a new solution and we were just playing like idiots against any stronger team who knew how to close down Messi in the middle.
One of the best Lucho's ideas was to put Messi back on wing and we looked like a different team since then.
In majority of matches since then, when Messi goes to the middle, we are horrible, we get closed down easily and the whole team looks as if we have no ideas and as if we don't run.
Then, when some of our fans say that Messi will play as an attacking midfielder when he turns 30.
Lol, please, please no.
Of course that a lot of posters here were reminded of Tata's season today.
Messi in the middle will turn our team into Tata's team under any coach.
