Throughout football’s history, we have seen the emergence and reemergence of different philosophies, and the tactics use to implement those philosophies. What are some of your favourites and why?

I think it’s the False 9 for me, dragging centrebacks out of position and leaving massive gaps for wide forwards to run into, surprised it wasn’t exploited for so long
Actually, F9 is quite a bit older than Pep’s Barca or even Cryuff’s Ajax. Check this out! https://breakingthelines.com/tactical-analysis/the-evolution-of-the-false-9-role/

I think the Dutch inverted wingers are pretty neat.

The attacking role of fullbacks. Trent Alexander Arnold’s role for Liverpool specifically. Adds an entirely new dimension to the attack.

Idk about “favorite” but I love the evolution of the role of the box-to-box midfielder. It’s both a case of everything-old-is-new-again and also a symbol of how technically demanding the modern game is.
