Jimmy Mac, Morgan, Coates, James etc etc did exactly that.

To a lesser extent, Blake and Little did too.

These days it doesn't seem to be allowed...which is a shame.
Yes 59 Potts used to say Go and enjoy yourselves and a lot of opponents had a similar philosophy - Spurs notably. These days it’s micro planned and analysed with GPS on the players back, action replays from every angle and statisticians checking on all your actions providing tables of how you compare.
The focus has switched from enjoyment to keeping your numbers good, so lots of sideways passes, back passes are good.
I wonder how the 59 team would have faired with such analysis?
