Great article, thanks, but it overlooks that while tiki-taka/possession may not be dead, it's dominance this past couple of seasons has been replaced by high pressure counter-attacking associated with the likes of Ancelotti and Klopp. This may just be because key players for Spain/Barcelona have past their peak just when players for other sides, playing a different style, hit theirs. Either way, rightly or wrongly, possession football startec to be seen as unfashionable/impractical probably since the last Euros and Dortmunds and Bayern's success in the 2013 CL.
