#3 MSN not functioning fully at all times

MSN have been tired and lethargic for long periods

With players of the calibre of Neymar, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, it isn’t unfair to expect a return in each and every game from one or the other.

Perhaps they should be cut some slack, after all they’re only human, but Juan Carlos Unzue’s tirade at the Brazilian, that he would “end up like Ronaldinho” if he didn’t settle down, has struck a nerve. Maybe because there’s an element of truth to it.

Yes, he was instrumental in the 6-1 victory over PSG, and in other games, he, along with his attacking colleagues, have been excellent.

But if you compare it with their output over the past couple of seasons, MSN have been sorely lacking at times. The big players need to show up time and again. That the Blaugrana’s ‘big three’ weren’t always able to deliver their best hints at tiredness and fatigue, something Barcelona have been accused of mismanaging before.
