There's a shocking and colossal lack of football intelligence in the professional game right now. That's why teams like Villa need so much aggressive coaching from the sideline to stay alert, take up the correct position on the pitch, maintain a high press at the right times, etc.

You look at the successful teams of the late 90s and there was more footballing intelligence than there was raw talent involved. Now, young players are being scouted mostly for their pace or other physical attributes such as height (if you're a defender) or strength, but footballing intelligence is barely being looked at, let alone prioritised.

Agreed, but it's also alot more technical these days. Can you imagine coaches talking about double pivots, high presses, and such back in the 90's? 

It was much more- 'get out there and t**t them'.

well that was crap defending, wth was chambers doing there.

'Here we go mate, have a goal'

Chambers has been very poor this season tbh. I really thought he was hard done by not to play more but he's been very bad at times lately.

Gerrards done Chambers dirty

Looked great towards the end of last season, dropped, couldn't get a sniff, now looks like a pub player

blaming Gerrard for that terrible bit of defending is a bit of a stretch tbh.

Not playing for over 6 months despite playing well

Footballers mentality is fragile as ****, the player we had before ain't there anymore, I can point the finger at Gerrard for that
