So, the attacking production hasn’t exactly skyrocketed yet. However, signs of the beautiful style of play that’s expected of Barca began revealing itself. The move which created Messi’s winner was a flowing and intricate one that would’ve made Pep Guardiola and Johan Cruyff proud. It may take some time for adjustments for both the manager and the team, but the early signs are positive that this huge decision by the Barca brass was the right one.
Still, there are issues that remain. The biggest one is finding out what the Blaugrana’s best attacking three will be without Luis Suarez. While Messi is the sun and the stars for Barcelona, Suarez was the guy you could count on for the big goals when all the attention turned to the Argentine superstar. With Suarez out for the season, the onus falls on Antoine Griezmann to figure out how to fit into the system. The Frenchman has struggled to consistently make an impact since his big money move from Atletico Madrid. If he continues to be unreliable in the second half of the season, it could spell big trouble.
