Weed grass

I sowed a new lawn a year or two ago, but I am getting lots of weed grass by which I mean grass with thick, often soft, stems which tend to grow sideways. How do people cope with it? I could pull it out, the stems and root tend to come out but it's a lot of work for the whole lawn. If I leave it I will end up with a coarse grass lawn, more like a field than a lawn.

Hard one to answer
Weed grass is what it is a weed. Obviously, depending on the area effected will then depend on the work to extract it . There will be no easy option but to remove it by hand over a period of time and re-seed where it is removed.
Thanks. So, no magic bullet then.
Ah yes, I'd forgotten the slash with a knife trick, I should try that one. It sounds quicker than manually pulling out each stem and root.
