Nah your reading too much into it
The basis is still there and will always be there
Theyve had different styles under different managers since the 90s but the basis is 433, pass the ball and move
That wont change

Ohhh...
Â
TBH, their current playing style is geared towards getting the best out of their forwards but positional play-possession based football is geared towards their midfield. Notice how Iniesta plays a much more conservative role & Rakitic plays as a box to box CM now to provide defensive cover for Messi on the right side of midfield & also creates space for him there too, whilst 2008-2012 Xavi was there as fulcrum of play.
Â
To be fair, positional play-possession based football has various forms. The current Bayern side practice hit but have a certain level of directness to them that Barcelona traditionally didn't have. The pressing is something I've seen intermittently albeit you look at the time in the season, the personnel, etc, and could think maybe it's fatigue management? I'm not sure...
Â
Barcelona go through these phases where they 'lose their way' a bit. I'm inclined to believe that domestic/continental success this season sees the likes of Sandro, Sergi Roberto, Rafinha, Munir will get more game time next season.

Like I was saying before. English football is suffering from a lack of detail.

For me the premier league aint "that" far behind.
people fail to realize that things change and every league has its golden era and a shitty era.
for instance up untill last year real madrid never reached a champions league final in 12 years.
up untill the early 90s barca never won a single european cup now they have 4 and they are seen as a powerhouse.
look at serie a and how dusty it is.
it was once the best league in the world now look.
Things wont always be the same.
and for the record in the past 10 years premier league 3 champions leagues,la liga 3,serie a 2,bayermunichleague 1

2025 thats when English Football will return back to the top just like the early 80s unless them three crucial appointment happen and also losing a slot to Ligue 1 is so essential.
Another thing Europa League thats one competition English clubs need to improve in
The Premier League are ten years behind

It's not as drastic a situation people are making it out to be imo.Â
Â
Â
Fittness - too many games in a calendar year
Â
Tactical nous - Too many big Sam type managers in the PL
Â
Suits & Money - Everyone want's to play/stay in the prem for P & if that means route A , that's what they do. Few teams actually play ball. Steel sharpens steel

Has the number of games increased from Seasons 2005-2011 compared to now?
So there was no Big Sam type of managers back then?
SKY money wasn't there?

LOL, bar Germany, Ligue 1, La Liga & Serie A all play 38 fixtures in a domestic season. Similar amount of games for cup competition & even if you include our league cup, that's 6-7 games, half of which will be played by squad players & youth players.
Â
I've said it before & I'll say it now, what's the last great tactical innovation that's come from English football?
Â
Dead serious, there hasn't been one since possibly the 1960's.
Â
That says A LOT.

& that is just the fitness aspectÂ
Â
The detail you're talking about comes from a lack of interest from the higher ups in improving a clubs way of playing.
Â
AgainÂ
Â
Most PL clubs only care about MONEY. they have no time to develop systems and "innovate" so they do what they can to survive in the leagueÂ
Â
Â
While being managed by "Big sam " who has no tactical nous nor any interest in youth development.
