No, as much as hated the football under Pearce it has to be noted that Pearce didn't have a pot to piss in, this manager and players should be doing much much better than they currently are and at the very least they should be putting the effort in.

Dullest Football Since Pearce?
- Thread starter Fame Monster
- Start date
Boring as fuck! 73% possession and most of that is sideways passing
Rodri only seems to pass it backwards!
A blip is a few games.... We lost 9 league games last season and We've continued that type of form this season, that's a fucking lonnnnnnnnng "blip". We've scored half the goals this season compared to last and on course to concede more goals as well. We're now a third of the way through the season and it's not a blip, it's a pattern.

Came on here to start this exact same thread and you beat me to it.Ever since we moved to the double pivot, I have to say this has got to be the dullest City side since the Pearce days.
We were obviously worse under Sven and Hughes but there was a far more positive approach to the way we played.
This double pivot just sucks the life out of our game, our strengths, and reduces the chances that we create by having one less player in the box. It also makes us a far worse team imo.
I actually said in 2 different Whatsapp groups that this season reminds me of Pellegrini’s and Pearce’s last, and it seems many feel the same.
The two defensive midfielders is absolutely soul destroying to watch. It’s getting the worst out of the team and completely negating DeBruyne’s threat.
How Pep can’t see how diabolical it is, is just completely mind-boggling.

But now it's a car park.We’ve been facing buses since 2011-12.

2015–16 was very boring, and 2016-17 wasn’t good.
But the 8 draws in a row under Hughes were more exciting than the last 4 months.

Sorry mate, you’re not getting it.Things will never be that bad.
Since... post... after... subsequent... intervening... following...
So in the time since Pearce - which means Sven, Hughes, Mancini, Pellegrini and the first four years of Pep - and doesn’t include Pearce - this is the most boring football we’ve played.
Ah anger issues tonight, yeah then : )Sorry mate, you’re not getting it.
