[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just saw some clips from EPL games from the early 2000s pre-Pep.  The game was so much more direct and attractive than the pointless possession-based play where the center backs kick it back to the goalie 20 times. Pep ruined the game. [/quote]

You really do not watch soccer do you? EPL pre 2000 was trash. The majority of the scoring was from set pieces and it looked like rugby. Will take Klopp and Pep over kick in the box with a hope and a pray. Man City(65%), Arsenal(58%) and Liverpool(61.3%) are the top of the EPL and none pass it back to the goalie 20 times. Sheffield United(35%), Burnley(46%) and Lutin(41%) were at the bottom and played like pre 2000 EPL teams.

Hell when Man City pass back to Ederson the whole field is open but that is what you do not understand about the possession style of play. A 40 yard pin point pass to a player who can one touch control, shoot or pass the ball is possession style play. A 30 yard inaccuracy pass to a player who can not field a ball is a turn over.
