Messi's flower is withering?

Like any system of play, tiki- taka has its weakness. Its weakness being that its over elaborate and it capitalises on Barcelona's ability to penetrate defences with their neat passing. It has failed in three crucial matches this season. This does not mean by any means that The house of Barca is crumbling. 2 seasons ago barca, was eliminated by Inter at the same stage of the champions league but sure enough they bounced back and reclaimed the title last year.
Just remember that in its current form, no team has ever retained the champions league. Barca & Messi will live to fight another day

BBI will solve it :)

I think you are wrong, Rijkaards team was mainly centred on players such as Ronaldinho, Deco, Eto'o, Larson, Giuly, Belleti, Marquez etc. It is Pep who was incharge of Barca's Reserve team which developed and promoted young players such as Iniesta, Messi, Pedro, Busquets, Pique, Puyol, Xavi etc. He has a unique bond with the players thats why they usually say they can't imagine Barca without Pep. Actually its only Valdez and Puyol who were in the Barca team that won the 2006 CL final against Arsenal. If you look at the systems of play used by both managers you'd realise that they are totally different....Pep focuses more on possession football and flair. We all say Mourinho is a football genius but the thing is he doesn't "adopt" teams, he's usually given alot of money to sign any player he wants and build his own squad. I find it interesting that you question Pep's capabilities outside Barca but do you think SAF (as a Man Utd fan) can achieve anything outside Man Utd?

@ Mc Reggae.... Pep didn't inherit those players, he's actually the one who developed them and called for the youth to be given a chance to play for the first team. Thats what made the Barca mgt sack Rijkaard and promote their reserve coach.....Messi emerged when Pep took charge of Barca B while Xavi was even Pep's understudy.
On SAF my question was, do you think he can find success outside England....can he secure back to back titles in Germany or Italy! Lets be fair to Pep, at his age he deserves alot for what he's achieved.

He was brought to Man U coz of what he had achiedved elsewhere(St Mirren:won with a team of 19 year olds Scottish 1st division,Aberdeen: a couple of Scottish 1st division wins, Scottish cups and Scottish league cups and European Cup winners cup,European Super Cup, the most successful manager of Aberdeen). The guy has achieved elsewher not just at Man U. It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt...
