Almost every free kick you see players looking over to the bench for guidance on who takes it , who goes forward from the back etc ?
FFS they get coached all week , they are professional players and shouldn't need any guidance during games.
It seems to me that players aren't allowed by their coaching team to express themselves anymore on the pitch without their guidance
Coaches stand on the side of the pitch with their notebooks or tablets pointing out to players where they have to run , who to pass to etc and the players stand there nodding their heads like robots 
In my day when you played you would tell your coach/ manager to ( in the words of harps DO ONE - whatever that means
) or **** orf and talk about it at half time like Adults
