Time nearly up for Luis Enrique? 

More and more, Barcelona are looking like a team who are tired. Maybe mentally, maybe it is the coach who is not committing his future to the club yet, maybe is it just the whole dynamic of the team that suggests that they need a new impetus that a new coach could give them. It is as if they are getting to the end of the Luis Enrique era.
I'm saying this even though Barcelona could have and should have won against Villarreal. They created more and deserved the three points in my eyes, but for five of the last six games in the first half, it has been 0-0. You might think it is irrelevant, but...

Barcelona are now five points behind Real Madrid in the La Liga title race, having played a game more, after they drew 1-1 with Villarreal

  They used to be a Barcelona that was more effective and didn't allow teams to attack them. They killed teams early, they used to do enough to convert their authority in goals. But in the style created by Luis Enrique, everything depends on the front three, hardly anybody else scores and they get attacked, teams create chances against them. All in all it seems a very talented, yes, but much simpler and even predictable team than in previous years.If you have Neymar, who hasn't scored in 11 games, or Luis Suarez, who has to find his best form at the moment, it gets even narrower and it all depends on Messi. He scored a fantastic goal on Sunday, but that shouldn't mask the fact that Barcelona are at the moment where they deserve to be.

                      

The Luis Enrique era at Barcelona could be nearing its end, according to Balague
