Im confused, how did it take so long for long ball to become so irrelevant? When I watch games from 2003 every team just lobs the ball up over and over.

    I think long ball is still relevant.

    In the prem we just dont have the time/space to look up and pick out those passes as much.

    CB’s have speed comparable to attackers so it isnt easy to win a foot race in behind while controlling the ball.

    Hold up players are used quite often in the mid table teams .
