#5 Let Coutinho take control
Lionel Messi is one of the greatest players on the planet. However, there's only so much Messi can do. There will be times when even Leo will fail to perform, and more often than not, these matches cost Barcelona the game. It’s time for Barcelona to win the game without relying on Leo.
Dependence on him is not bad. However, over-dependence is not good. If there's one man who is experienced enough and can control the game apart from Leo, it’s Phil. In their only league loss against Levante, Phil Coutinho single-handedly almost saved Barcelona from losing, by scoring a hattrick to bring the score from 1-5 to 4-5. Unfortunately for him, the chances he created were not put into the back of the net by his teammates.
Luis Suarez needs chances to feed on, and Ousmane is still young and inexperienced. So, when Leo isn't in his top gear, Phil should take control and drive Barcelona.
