Don't think there's any big reason to it, just naturally reached the end of a cycle - the isn't a sporting team in history this hasn't happened to. But in the PL where it is very competitive from top to bottom and they have excelled season on season a big drop off was more inevitable than some people anticipated at some point. Don't think their recruitment has been great in recent times either which doesn't help the 'rebuild'....

Missing Rhodri. And some defenders to injury.
Haaland should probably be a sub. City are compromised with him. One less player to control midfield.
They won it all last year. Psychologically hard to motivate yourself to go again. But mainly it’s the first point. Missing a Balon Dor winning fulcrum and some defenders. Similar to us: we’ve missed our best midfielder in Bentancur and key CBs. Not that we were all conquering prior. But our upward trajectory has been clipped.
