We didn't win any trophy in 07 or 08. There will be no shakeup until we go trophyless. I'm afraid Ernie might get another La Liga with the way Atletico and RM bottle simple matches.

Thing is he is the best passer in the world and has the best vision in the world, and you want him to be able to move to the middle of the pitch and have multiple passing options in front of him. I think the key for the future is more pace and work rate in the other forwards and the midfield. You need them to suck up some defensive responsibilities but offensively Messi have them as outlets. I think as he ages he will be more of a supercharged version of Wesley Sneijder than an Aguero.
When three players are crowding one, its not a wise decision to pass the ball to him, even if hes messi (unless hes in his best / goat of goat mode), before 11/12 season.
Even xavi / iniesta would need to find a moment to pass him the ball. Just except it, no one atm has the ability to go around players as iniesta had or keep possesion play like xavi had. Dembele is more like iniesta except hes a winger.
I dont know, if we place dembele close to messi, and there are two other winger coming from the back (remember 4-3-2-1 xmas tree formation of ac milan ?), Would it be better? Although theres some doubt in the defending midfielder. And coutinho could be sacrificed, which i dont really agree.
Or 4-2-3-1 with two full backs ?
Oh and barca's problem is not always main players, the substitutes are actually more of a concern. The level of communication is too low when there are some teams with two set of players of almost equal quality.

Need a manager who has balls like Pep who got rid of Ronaldinho, Deco, Eto'o, Zlatan etc. without hesitation.

Well, Pep was right in most of those cases. Except for Eto'o. I think that if Eto'o stayed for 2010, we would've repeated the CL.
But yeah, we need someone, who isn't afraid to do the change of generations.

There are NO GREAT potential strikers out there. I mean Jovic an Piatek are there but not really proven at the highest level.
I would like to see Messi as a pure goal poacher. Get somebody else to do the creative work. I would like to see him back as a false nine. I hate watching him drop so deep. He should always be near the opposition penalty box.

Barca is pathetic...😅😅😅
By now on the forum I read only dramatic messages.
Looking forward to read we are the worst team in the world.

You're affraid your club will win La Liga?
Im still chocked about his first half performance - i didnt watch second half. But it showed yet again that Messi is and never will be a leader, he is to introvert and gets to easily frustrated with himself. Also, he has to much power in our team not equivalent with his leadership qualities-

I agree he was bad 1st half, but he was much better 2nd half.

He's afraid getting La liga will mask the issues at our club. He has no faith in his management to make the necessary changes unless something extreme happens.
Stop seeing things in black and white.
