Is it high time Barcelona stop playing the high line?

[Henry]

Most teams both in the league and in Europe seem to have understood how easy it can be when it comes to beating the offside trap set by the Barcelona team. Chelsea was the latest team to have exploited that during the week. This makes me think it is high time the coach stopped using such tactics, what do you think about that?

Why are people complaining about this high line? It is what Flick has been playing for seasons now and even the Barcelona management knew about his style of play before deciding to hire him. So, what's the point of asking him to stop playing that now?

What defines a good coach is the ability to tweak tactics if it is no longer working, or against certain opponents that have players that can make the tactical system vulnerable. Playing the high line would never work against teams that have very fast attackers.
