Makes you think, what has happened in the dressing room to suddenly fall apart like that?

At first i thought it was tiredness but now it seems they've just lost all their footballing ability.

The little i have seen lately, they have not looked as sharp.
A Lack of squad rotation maybe?

Even under Pep they never rotated, but never seen this really. Personally I think its a bit like Chelsea, a few players suddenly lose form and thats it.

Yep, more than likely.

To reliant on the genius of a few. When they loose form then the team suddenly dips.

Barcelona currently 6-0 up at Deportivo. Put the losing streak well and truly to bed.

Valencia are 4-0 up after 60 minutes and after beating Barcelona at the weekend, sound like they're well rid of Gary Neville.

Guillem Balague is at it again. He just wrote a blog stating that Barcelona are basically rubbish, and that they are in "survival mode"..... Obviously proven by their last three matches being a combined score of 16-0 to them. They obviously survive by pounding teams 8-0 away.

It makes me think that I might move to some random country and claim to be a footballing authority just so I get employed. His insider tips are never right, he worships Real Madrid (probably more wants Madrid to win because he is Espanyol fan, ie Barca rival), and seems to have large slices of contempt for Barcelona.

He literally just stated that only Messi can "beat a man" in this Barcelona team, singling out Neymar as someone who cant.He clearly could put all of his worthwhile footballing observations on a postage stamp and have room to spare. I look forward to his summer blogs. "This ones a done deal" from Balague's blog often means you need to smash down your life savings on a player staying where he is.

In the space of three weeks he has gone from saying Saul is uttterly rubbish, to now lamenting half the world for not buying him, which apparently he had an insider scoop on nearly happening.
