Quote: Itchy Arsenal "I think that the biggest change has been that all teams are over coached to the point that players are robotic with little if any room for individual play which leads to dour games.
Also for the number of interchanges has led to forward dominated thinking with again resulting poor quality games. For me once a player goes off he shouldn't be allowed to return which would rid the game of 15 minute "impact" players who more often than not are players who are way above their natural weight and find long minutes almost impossible.'"
The issue though is that a well drilled team will nearly always best an off the cuff team (See Australia 1972 to 2000) against GB
Weve tried to structure to match them and theyve moved on. And they will.co tongue to be in advance of us due to the advantageous they have over us from money to player pool currently.
I suppose the question is would be people like a less structured game at the expense of other things like Winning.
I believe that a reduction in substitutes to 6 will tire players enough to allow more time/space for ball players rather than what the game did 20 years ago increasing the substitutions to 10 to try and have the 13 players on the field playing at 100% of their abilities for 80mins.
There should always be a fatigue element in the game, it would be like giving boxers 10mins rest between each round and then wondering why just the biggest win/strongest win.
