It's not a bad idea to have a thread discussing the changes in the sport the last 15+ years.
I came across this great vid by the astute analyst Football Meta, explaining how a single tactical tweak by Mourinho back in 2004 changed football in England forever:
Many here are frequently complaining about the drop in individual quality since the late 90s early 00s, but at the same time they don't realize that the drop was the result of the fact that games stopped being decided mainly by individual quality, but by the tactical astuteness of the manager.
And that really progressed the sport...
The football we have seen the last 15 (at least) years has nothing to do with the one before, which looks now like the stone age of football
