I don't know, EPL is my #1 league, but the football played from just about every team outside of the top-6 has been absolutely dire for a while.
Exceptions being Everton at times, Leicester and West Ham in 15-16.
I can speak for WHU for example. Bilic eventually fell out with the Davids over William Carvalho, he wanted someone who can actually pass the ball, other than Lanzini.
They have some great athletes, runners and tacklers, but actual football instincts? Peak Noble was decent (2015-16), but guys like Kouyate, Antonio, etc. - while being fast, powerful and tireless - can't make a proper decision with the ball (and execute it) to save their lives.
Now Pellegrini's here, and the hopes are back up again, with some quality footballers being brought it.
But I don't know if that's enough to execute Pellegrini-style football. Especially with Lanzini out long-term.
