Taste is intuitive knowledge. It is built over time after repeated exposure to the highest levels of craft. The greatest designs, the most beautiful music, the best writing, even when it is accessible hides within it secrets to what makes it great. Most often, you will need a great practitioner / master of craft to guide you to appreciate it fully. Provided, as they say in music, that you have an ‘ear for it’.
A clear sign of someone with great taste is that they can hold contrarian takes with confidence. They do not succumb to trends. They can spot potential before someone else sees it. They are generally a few steps ahead of what ever is the common, most popular take.
For all the attacking patterns and weaves, there is no form of football more prideful than seeing your tired team actually care and throw themselves in front of every shot with 10 men 😌
