I would venture that you need to get a more complete look of a game. Take your eye off the ball to see what movements are ahead of the ball carrier. Wherever there is space there is an opportunity and creating or blocking that space is kind of where most of the game is based on.
You can also read about that. Zonal Marking (Michael Cox) in his blog explained the tactics very well with idea + consequences of that however it has become almost defunct so you would need to read old matches reviews but it may help you better understand what is there and what isn't. Also I recommend the book "Inverting the Pyramid" by Jonathan Wilson; it is a very thorough compilation of the tactics/formations evolution throughout the years.
People have already told you but let me reiterate that watching more games more intently and even repeat viewing will let you start noticing patterns on the strategy of play.
Seconded for sure. Watch some soccer and, if you like books, go read up on the game. There’s a fairly short but really high-quality list of books that you can hit to get a varied taste of soccer, from history to tactics to biographies to silly books about English soccer clichés.
But there is no substitute for watching the game, and even playing around in your back yard a bit. Enjoy!
(Edit: there are other books on the shortlist out there too. Also, there are plenty of fun and informative podcasts related to the sport if you’re into that sort of thing)

Inverting the Pyramid: The History of Soccer Tactics
This could be a safe bet. Not about English football, although it obviously addresses it. It's about the history of tactics and how they have involved through the decades and how major rule changes have changed how the game has been played. So regardless of what team or country you support you can get a better understanding of the game as a whole.
I found it interesting.
