What on earth is happening to our great game. Entertainment should be the number 1 priority for the fans who are paying out huge sums on season tickets travel and merchandise.
Football was fantastic in my era of the 60s and 70s. formations of 2/3/5 where the object was to get the ball wide and feed the attackers and inside forwards backing up the wingers and centre forwards.
Hugely entertaining with loads of goals to see.
Now what do we get? Goalies walking around the area passing to full backs then getting it back and passing to a centre half who gives it him back and so on. Outfield players who rotate the ball slowly from wing to wing looking for little gaps. Almost every move you can see coming.
We now have coaches (not managers) who jump around the touchline looking like retards because they are egoistic attention seeking dipsticks.
I have lost count the number of games i have turned off half way through because they all seem the same turgid and boring.
Gone are the entertainers who got involved with the crowd and we all know who they were.
Now we get stats thrown at us with expected goals , touches in opponents box. Players running around in bra's measuring how far they have run and now players being picked by artificial intelligence.
It's gone.
