I think it's the former, but now they've just lost their legs in midfield AND had a whole host of injuries, most obviously Rodri.
The initial few losses have completely knocked their confidence and now no teams are giving them the deferential treatment they used to get as they know they can't be as hurt at the back anymore of they have a go.Pep has tried to fix things, nothing has worked and now he's losing it a bit. I'm actually a little bit concerned about his mental health after a few things he's said and how he is acting

Nah - fuck him. He's ridden the cheating train and taken the plaudits. He can suck it up now they are shite. It's his bed.
I think they are a team getting older, who have played a lot of football and they don't have enough youth coming through/bought. They'll probably spunk the cash in jan to compensate but maybe not selling eg Palmer and Rogers might have been prudent.

This is it. You can't play the way high line front foot football without a press which has been totally lacking. They don't seem to have the legs to pull the press off and without Rodri to mop up transitions they're so bad without the ball.

I’m currently stuck between “they’ve won the league 4 years in a row, it’s hard to sustain that level for this long.” And “I knew Pep was a fraud, only ever manages the best teams with the most resources.”
Whatever it is, it’s good for the league.
