I actually like the Barcelona line up with Messi as the striker. They definitely need a Busquets upgrade, but overall their midfield and strikers on the paper look nice.

Been wondering why they have never played 4231 for years. Suits Messi, suits Coutinho, suits de Jong, would of suited Suarez if he stayed and played infront of Messi as a 9 also before he left. Obviously it gives Messi the chance to play on the shoulder or more liekly, drop as a false 9. He has plenty of pace around him with Pedri and Fati as well.

I agree with you, but Valverde never understood that Cou is a no. 10 in a 4-2-3-1. Would have solved many problems for them

I think for Barcelona yes, 100%. He did play CM for Liverpool briefly under Rodgers for a period but I don't think its his best position because in terms of building the game it isn't a strength of his. He has to be in the final third. Also the 4231 it gives them the chance to put someone with more legs in beside Busquets who is slowing down but his quality on the ball is still good. Then de Jong obviously, is a top player, tremendous at receiving the ball under pressure and dealing with it 9/10 times.

Lyon are 4-0 up against Monaco, Ekambi is on fire, his first goal was just a thing of beauty.
