Fair point. To me 'boring' and 'bad' in football terms is much of the same thing. Even though AVB got us record points I still think we played badly, same largely with Pochettino, although I still much prefer us under Poch.I don't believe we played bad, but it was boring. Stats are not overly relevant, but a record points tally doesn't play out with a side playing badly. Attritional and unimaginative.....yes, bad....no.
It reminds me of the accusations made towards Chelsea last season- they played defensive against big teams but they always had the ability to play attractive football if they turned it on.
