Guardiola is that architect of his own downfall. He antagonised Ibra, mostly because of personality than ability. Before that he had disposed of Eto although he may have had a couple of more seasons in him. Villa just before being injured was already unsettled by the same Guardiola. If Guardiola had a striker of Drogba's mould the tie would have been over in the first leg. Barca's lack of a finisher is glaring for all to see. This philosophy of anyone on the pitch can score can work, but if you get 11 men, behind the ball, then that intricate one-two passing becomes obsolete. Sometimes you need to battery ram your opponents. Against Madrid they were already found out. Sanchez cannot lead the frontline. A triad strike force, especially of Ceunca/Tello-Sanchez-Messi is also a liability as essentially all you need to do is mark the runs of the players into the box. They really need to reassess their strategy or else every opponent that goes against them will employ the same strategy.
