It just can't be that a team winning 9 titles in a row can magically turn this bad. Yes there is obvious lack of quality in midfield but much depends on how the players respond to the coach and how the team is setup.
It feels like the coach has instructed the players to just go 'do their thing'. Maybe that's what the players wanted. Less tactics and more about having 'fun'.
