"Word".
Two possibilites to throw up here - 1) teams realise how good you are and defend deeper against you and try to hit you on the counter-attack. Your gung-ho tactics were fine when the opposition wanted to play you at a game of football, but have realised this is a mistake and have decided to park a bus in front of goal. Very difficult to break down and leaves you prone to the counter. Check to see if the pre-match odds have drastically changed. As Chelsea, I can't see that being an issue but it might be.
2) In November time it started raining and your tactic didn't work in wet weather. A few boggy months later and a run of poor form has left your team with low morale and you can't get it back again. Once you hit a dip it's hard to get out of it.
If you adapt your tactic to the opposition and the climate you'll do a lot better, but if you keep the same settings rain or shine, Barcelona or Bolton you'll have troubles.
And no text speak.
