Football is different mentality outside this country and tbh it's better. Here you are applauded for being out of position and making a late block to save yourself, where the player who never has to leave his feet or break a sweat defensively due to his brain and positioning doesn't get as much attention. Here someone who has a game with 90% passing completion like Cleverley would find a role in a European team gets ridiculed for "passing sideways lolz". Different mentalities and it shows in coaching a lot of times too...not just in the prem, but at Grass roots. If a kid at full back tries to take some one on near his goal and then play it forward giving it away he is yelled at..if a kid boots it out with no invention shown he is applauded and told "well done kid"...kids are taught way differently in England to how they should and it shows in coaching and players. went off an a small tangent, but still
