Neymar and Messi will probably reflect on what went wrong today...and tell Nasser to sign Suarez as the solution

Messi needs to play around the box, his dribbling declined a lot and his passing is also not the same anymore but his finishing is still excellent so use it more often.

Poor Messi.

Barca doesn't have midfield, Argentina doesn't have midfield, Psg doesn't have midfield.

Or more likely: he does what he wants, drops deep and turns every team into a chaotic one.

Psg will be more chaotic and unbalanced with him than without him.

He'll bring some Youtube goals, but he'll slow down the play and bring unbalance.

A player without clear position since 2012.



I like a little chaos in my cabaret

Team's unbalanced and top heavy compared to Bruges, which is well drilled. Their press was tighter, and I bet these players been together long.

Bet Poch starts Nuno in the next game. So fullbacks are good but midfield build up is poor, forcing the front 3 to drop deep.

Gini sucks, Paredes sucks, Herrera can score but not so good at build up, that leaves only Verratti who's out for about 2 weeks.

So Chaos it is lol

I'm ready to jump ship soon

u the ship's figurehead dude, there's no escape

I love how members in this forum still blame the other 10 players in PSG. I am certain if he went to City the replies here will be "De Bruyne sucks" "Gundogan is worse than Puig", etc.

The lad is old now, this new european football is all about physicality and stamina with all 10 players. Even one walker means you will struggle a lot vs Bayern, City, Chelsea, and other top CL teams. Sure he will still annihilate teams in Ligue 1 (and even LL now), but CL is a different beast.

Apparently lost ball 23 times and only had 2 dribbles.

Not a great stat that v Brugge.

PSG need to find how to use him and cover his limitations.

Messi was a GOAT, but he had tons of flaws.
A huge part of our fans didn't want to see his flaws and blamed coaches, Rakitic and Argentina for everything.

Messi is a bit like Federer in that regard, who refused to have top-class coaches throughout his peak until he hired Ljubicic at the very end. Ljubicic worked with him and adapted the style to suit his old legs better (taking shots sooner, more aggressive, not to mention the backhand improvements) when Federer made that last comeback.

Messi had a good coach in Pep, but ever since he chooses coaches who have it his way and plays the way he wants. Not saying he didn't do well enough that way, but I'm sure he could've done better.

It's not about blaming team. It's about realizing this is not their usual level and they will pick it up as season goes and all players including new ones developing understanding and chemistry. It's part of football.

Players of Messi's caliber will then only thrive more. He does need to stop that dropping deep-shite but I think he will as team picks up form.

You're exaggerating, nobody blamed the other 10 PSG players.

They missed some players while others barely had time to train with the team because of international matches. Some also look like not in form(see Wijnaldum) or just a poor fit.

Too early to draw conclusions and compare against established teams that haven't made so many changes.
