England, along with premiership teams, when they play in europe, play far too negative a brand of football. The English top division, was always more successful, when playing a fast paced game. Look at just how successful it was through the late 70's up to the mid 80's. European teams never liked it when they were pressed constantly. Why we adopt this style of negative, keep ball, simply because the rest of europe do, is a mystery. Hence the reason I find international, and european football, tediously boring. Give me the premiership any day, although even that is slowly heading towards a european style.
