Is he not good enough to be in the starting eleven? I think he is a great,young player and he has great potential of becoming one of the best football player.

Messi is a good player, but he is only 19.
He has a large gap of improvement and I think Rijkaard is doing the right thing in slowly giving chances to play. Barcelona has an amazing Team, rich of talented and experienced players, and that is a very good environment for Messi's professional growth. He needs to give always his best when he is called into the game, and he needs to observe/absorb the other payers moves and skills.
He still needs improvements with his right foot play and with headers, but mostly he needs to improve his game when he is under pressure. His natural way of dribbling is short space and his great passing skill are potentially the best weapons for his skill improvement.
I am sure he is going to be a superstar, but he needs to take it slow and he needs to detach from the media attention he has generated. Rijkaard is the perfect coach to help him to become a great player.

He SHOULD be given a lot of chances..he proves that he is worth to be in the starting eleven..I hate the fact that he always comes as a substitute and not be in the starting eleven..if he is always kept on the bench instead of in the game,his talents won't grow and he will not have the chance of showing to the world what a great young player he is..please give a lot more chances to Messi,Frank Rijkaard!!

I agree with soccer_mind, he is young and doesn't have so much experiences!!! It's better for him to start from the bench !!!
btw: Cisse scored every time when he came in from the bench, but when he played from the first minute, he didn't score!!!
