punkiller1981 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I found it interesting watching the Burnley game that the Burnley fans were singing boring boring city. I enjoyed that because personally I find watching Man City really dull and lacking in any excitement, I just don’t find watching a team have 75/80% possession and boring teams into submission very interesting and I enjoyed realising I’m not the only one. I also was equally amused at the sky commentators attempts to tell us that city are not boring just controlled and that we should all admire them. im obviously not saying city are bad as they clearly are not, they have the best team in the league probably but it doesn’t mean they are fun to watch. Also I will say I don’t normally bother watching them but the wife was out and I was slightly excited for the start of the season but that evaporated after about 3 minutes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I think you're right but at the same time it's now wider than just their style of football, their treble, their 3 titles in a row, 4 out of the last 5 Man City as an entity are boring, the PL with them in it is boring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) It's also a story in midweek, with not a lot else to talk about and no big games tonight. Naturally that gets a bit more airtime than an injury received in the middle of a game on a Saturday afternoon with a full round of fixtures being played and lots of competing topics to talk about Edited August 15, 2023 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 It is terrible. Grealish last night just got the ball, did a couple of shuffles, then passed it back to Gvardiol. Then it goes to the CM, then out to the right, then back the other way. Paqueta is going to love not being allowed to shoot until he’s exactly where Pep wants him to be.

Grealish is there purely to control the opponents line Pick the ball up, carry it forward 10 yards at a snails pace, defence drops deeper, LB and midfield has more space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have sold good players and not replaced them with players as good or better. Plus there's the lack of motivation after winning 3 trophies in one season.

Especially with Gvardiol and Kovacic still settling in. I expect them to win by 10+ points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
