Barca's 7 deadly sins according to MARCA

1. Struggling far too much in set pieces. This has been an endemic issue for Barcelona for quite some time, accounting for half the goals it has conceded this season.
2. The team gives away the first half of its games. Barcelona then pays the price of this lack of intensity in the first forty-five minutes.
3. Leo Messi is lacking match fitness. He played the full ninety minutes against Getafe in the Copa del Rey second leg and it has taken its toll. He has recovered, but needs to take it slowly.
4. Poor marksmanship on easy shots. Barça could have beaten Levante in Valencia with greater accuracy. Xavi and Messi both missed clear cut goals.
5. Tata made mistakes with the changes. One thing the coach has been criticised for is subbing off Cesc Fàbregas and Pedro Rodríguez - two of his currently most on-form players.
6. No clear game changers on the bench. With Neymar and Iniesta injured, there was no one who could turn the game against Levante around. And? Cristian Tello is not up to standard.
7. The full-backs are not coming forward. Montoya and Jordi Alba had no depth and the team suffered for it.
