Guys what Im saying is that the modern day football style is to keep the ball at all costs and be patient so that when the opposition get tired or dont track a player or mark a player there is opportunity to score, but as we see today this can go on for ages and the game can become very predictable and at some times  boring to watch.
I am 50 and I have to say that I really enjoyed football more when wingers would attack full backs , like what Pat Nevin used to do, when midfielders would make third man runs and score goals by beating players and taking shots and being brave enough to take  chances at goal,when you have forwards that would run into channels turning defenders and causing problems.I wasn't bothered if we lost the ball in the oppositions half as we could always win it back and this  was done by players making strong but fair tackles which i used to love.
Im just interested to here from you guys what  your thoughts are
