@jaw - The complete disinterest in defence approach would be alarming apart from the fact that every other club in Europe apart Liverpool seem to have taken the same approach as Frank.
Im starting to think the game has been Americanised through the back door. Whereas we used to worry that the actual goalposts were going to be made wider and penalty shoot outs if league games ended in a draw, we now have a series of rule changes that mean defenders cant touch attackers anywhere on the pitch. Prem league and to some extent CL as well (Barca 8-2 defeat to Bayern) is becoming an absolute goal fest which on the one hand looks appealing but is actually becoming a bit farcical. 5-1 used to be a rare scoreline but is now a regular occurence. This has turned football into a 5 a side league and fifa for kids.
