is it just me or there are a lot of teams playing out from the back now?

If you watch this season's premier league, there are plenty of goals that originated from players trying to play out from the back and get intercepted.

Defenders dont seem to clear the ball anymore when under pressure that much compare to 10 years ago. Everyones trying to play like barcelona.

Just watch the game yesterday when brighton tried that and backfired big time.
Dont you think it causes more harm than good?

its because teams are generally a lot better technically than in the past. When barca did it, they were revolutionary. this new strain of football has become effective in breaking teams down and is in my opinion overused - everyone tryna copy pep
