Rodri's out, 1st choice cover in Kovacic out, 4 central defenders, who's position on the pitch is closest to the DM, have been injured. The schedule has been utterly relentless to the point that approaching the Christmas period and it gets less intense. The players who are being used are unable to be rotated, it looks like many are carrying knocks and are completely out on their feet.
I don't think Pep's asking them to press atm because they're not physically able to. Yet we were seeing the game out reasonably comfortably yesterday, there was only the fernandes chance and we were by no means clinging on. But for the Nunes errors, it would had been a professional 1-0 win.
Get the players apart from Rodri back and sign a midfielder in January and it will be turned around and top 4 and cup runs are still very much on.
But don't after a few losses renounce the tactics that won the treble and clinched 4 in a row.
