There's a distinct lack of good managers though in the league, Pep is arguably past his best and Arteta is muddling through title challenges. The up and coming managers are having spells of good and bad form and generally the league is very inconsistent and lacks true top class stand out performers. There's few real personalities at managerial level, it's just a lull across the board. As for the brand of football, I've always believed the game is very cyclic and reactive, it goes through spells of being dominated by attacking teams, then defensive teams, Rafa and Mourinho, Pep and Klopp, and so on.
