These things will swing in roundabouts but for me possession of the ball is something I love to see and this is where we see the best of quality players like Silva, Messi, Iniesta etc.

It more often than not comes from teams that like to play on the front foot and as long as it's possession with a purpose then it's what I love watching.

Thankfully there are coaches like Pep Guardiola who having been found out by Bayern in the champions league semi final with their explosive counter attacking when he was at Barca a few years back has evolved possession football to another level again to make it dominant again.
