Barca Brought Back to Earth

It seems the dizzying heights hit by Barcelona after five matches were merely a false dawn. Consecutive clean sheet losses to Liverpool and Arsenal have shorn the cloak of invincibility from Murphy's men.

The Catalan giants still sit in fourth place, only one point off of second, but the once confident manager seems to have lost a bit of swagger. One wonders (but wouldn't bet on) if we will see a tactical change from the club, as it appears their long balls beyond the fullbacks are now no longer as effective as they once were.

A team this talented cannot be written off just yet, but a title contender mere weeks ago now appears to be odds on to just miss out on success yet again.
