Tata Martino won't be in charge of Barcelona next season, barring an unthinkable turn of events. The Argentine has been convinced of the fact for some time now. "It's easier to change one person than to change the lot", he has remarked to his camp on more than one occasion.

Martino has proven unable to get the most out of a winning squad that has lost its hunger and is struggling to sustain its level week in week out. Pep Guardiola read this situation to a T back when he decided to leave the club.

Squad called for change of methods

Some methods haven't gone down well in a dressing room that was used to doing things differently. Pens and paper have been discarded in favour of tablets, while fitness training has been a real bone of contention. While in previous seasons fitness drills have been tailored to each individual, now every player has to do the same exercises.

A lack of intensity all around

Having been identified last season, this shortcoming hasn't been amended this time around. The team has again been accused of a lack of intensity, only this time it has reflected the lax regimen in training. The sessions put on haven't been intense enough, and on some occasions the players have been seen standing around when they ought to have been completing an exercise.
