I don't get why people find it 'boring'. I like the strategy of the setup and the movement of the players to creat space. I guess that's why I hate the typical English hoofball over the top game. I mean' what's the point of having a midfield if you're going to play like that.

I watched Liverpool v Fulham and their only ‘tactic’ when they went behind was to hoof the ball up to Salah and hope he could cut inside and shoot.

It was boring and predictable and Fulham dealt with it pretty well.

I will watch it because I have been watching city since I was 4 years of age, season ticket holder in North stand, season ticket holder at coms/ etihad, yes heat first game etc, but we have played like this for a long time now, yes we have won trophies I get it, but sometimes it Is like watching paint dry, under mancini we were good and a joy to watch, these days it seems more about retention of the ball, can't argue with what we have won, but some days it seems tedious to watch

The only thing that is “tedious” about watching cIty is the opposition sticking 10 men around their penalty box for 90 minutes. That’s what forces us to play the possession game to open up gaps.

Wow, yesterday was a master class in total football, it was an amazing watch to see the team handle a difficult match, in difficult conditions so comfortably.

We made football look easy, something it very much isn't.

I personally couldn't give two fucks if other fans find our football boring, we know its fkn awesome as do all the pundits.
I bet if you asked those fans who is the worlds best manager most would say Pep.

They don't find it boring. It's the popular thing to say from fans who have just seen their team completely outplayed and outclassed. There's nothing else they can throw at us

Pretty sure I've never heard a knowledgeable pundit say its boring to watch
