We got the most points, scored 89 goals (the second most) and conceded the least, all with this absolute cretin playing 😂 We did. There were some great moments. But I also had many many moments of sitting there watching the game, a near silent crowd around me, as we did very little. We weren't a klopp style, 90 minutes of excitement team. We were 89 minutes of keep ball with 2/3/4 15 second moments of excitement in the match, most of which led to goals as our players were better than anybody else's. Sure, the goals were exciting and there were bits of excitement, but also so so so so much turgid boring football. Football in general had been incredibly boring for the last decade. A few green shoots at the world cup, and a few teams breaking away from the 11 men behind the ball, then keep the ball forever football we've been watching across the football world. 2 1

It really can't come soon enough. boring? Maybe at times.. but it’s easy to overlook boring when you win most games and are top of the league 1

Look, we got great results, won the league, I'm not complaining about the outcome, just mentioning that it wasn't exactly scintillating to watch. 4

Would I like both? Of course. But I sure don’t want ‘exciting’ football if we don’t have the players for it and we end up losing most games and getting relegated or at least not promoted.
brookfox Posted 21 August Posted 21 August The hierarchy for most fans will be Exciting + Winning > Winning > Exciting > Losing and Dull. Enzo definitely fell into the Winning camp. As for Mavididi it's best for all parties if we part ways.

I feel like you're having a debate with yourself here. I'm just saying Enzo's football was boring. Nothing to do with anything else. 2

How is that a debate? Edited 21 August by MPH

We might have had poor matches, but our actual style wasn't inherently really really boring
