I had a similar issue about a year or 2 ago and even made a thread about it. I went on to say how my love for the game had been pushed to it's absolute limits of watching tiresome tactics of boring football, 10 at the back and a slow ass paced game. It got to the point where watching league two football was miles better than premier league football, and in some cases it still is.
Watching City now we've adapted to tiresome tactics is so much better and I'm thoroughly entertained week in week out, but I think overall a large percentage of fans have adapted this kind of attitude where they aren't bothered how their team plays, as long as they pick up points on the way.
You don't see the teams of the 90s anymore like Newcastle, United, Leeds, Liverpool that played to win every game rather than draw.... imagine watching United vs Arsenal 15 years ago and both teams set up for a point?
Everton is a prime example this season so far, they were commended for playing so defensively against us this season at our place, but other than that game they haven't had a single good performance under their belt so far, and we're 4 months into the season already.
