Dullest Football Since Pearce?

[Bill Walker]

Haven’t bothered to read this thread because, well, there’s only so much time one can waste in life. But judging only the thread title: it hasn’t exactly aged well.

I think after the Chelsea game this thread seems ridiculous but to be fair there have been some very tedious games this season.
Some threads are obviously borne out of frustration.

It probably depends what you mean by 'boring'.

We've just won 3-1 at Chelsea, in a game we completely controlled for at least 75 mins. We knew we'd won before half-time.

Under Sven, we lost 0-6 at Chelsea. We also, of course, lost 1-8 at Middlesbrough.
You could argue that those games weren't dull because loads of goals were flying in (to City's net), but they also had a zero enjoyment factor for us City fans.

Completely controlling a game and being 3-0 up at half time could be said to be more boring ... but in another way, it's also fantastic stuff ?

To be fair, the Chelsea game backs up his point (not the title of the OP, which is hyperbolic claptrap). We moved away from the double pivot, as well as went back to playing with more width in the front wide positions, so basically going back to how we used to play more but with some slight tweaks to the fullbacks, and we looked so much better for it.

What a difference 3 weeks makes, nice run of games coming up hoping we can continue our good form.

It’s true, but we should never forget that it takes two to make a football match. We do not bear sole responsibility when a number of teams think that packing your box and then relying entirely on the counter is enjoyable football.

Fair comments mate.

And often justified.

Not aimed at you this, but people are incorrect when they say someone is wrong for a comment/post/thread made at a moment in time when it was right, just because it’s not right now.

Still annoyed by that West Brom game and the 2 chances missed at the end!!

We're just resting. Pep to let the handbrake off after the festive period, and blow everyone away circa 17/18 style....
