Argentine forward Messi has had a mixed start at PSG since he joined as a free agent from Barcelona, scoring three goals in the Champions League but failing to score in four Ligue 1 appearances.
Messi's former Barcelona teammate, Thierry Henry, said La Pulga was isolated at PSG.
"He (Messi) is isolated, he lacks possession of the ball," Henry told RMC Sport. I wouldn't say he's sad, but he's isolated. I prefer him in the middle.
"I had problems with Leo on the right. In the middle, he can set the tempo. Something needs to be found to make Mbappe, Neymar and Messi play together."
The former Arsenal striker continues to question Messi's position under PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino.
"I don't think he can make the difference on the right, but then I don't have the exact details from a tactical point of view," Henry continued.
PSG lead the standings with 28 points from 11 matches.
