Right, everybody stop what you're doing! Apparently only football teams that charge around the pitch at 100mph are fun, whereas those who address their weaknesses and dominate through tactical and technical brilliance are boring.
That's the level of analysis Manchester City's critics are having to sink to, such is the absence of any flaws in Pep Guardiola's side. City have removed pretty much all jeopardy from their games and everyone else hates it.
This may well be the most complete incarnation of Pep's team, and despite what some say, that has not just happened as an inevitable consequence of money.
Here are just some of the vulnerabilities City have snuffed out in recent years.
Blitzed by the press
Just the mention of those away games against Liverpool in early 2018 are enough to send shivers down City fans' spines.
The 4-3 and 3-0 defeats at Anfield in the Premier League and Champions League respectively were just blips in City's centurion season, but they did expose a weakness against high and intense pressing.
In the league fixture, nine second-half minutes saw Guardiola's men concede three goals through their inability to play out against Liverpool's press, while in the Champions League game three months later City were 0-3 down inside half an hour.
The manner of those defeats hurt Guardiola, but ultimately they forced him to place even greater emphasis on his centre-backs and holding midfielders being ultra-comfortable on the ball.
In Aymeric Laporte, John Stones and Ruben Dias, City now have three of the best ball-playing central defenders in the world. The arrival and development of Rodri has helped too, as few are better at receiving and distributing the ball under pressure than the Spain midfield anchor.
Rodri's tactical awareness to draw pressure that creates passing lanes for his teammates also allows City to play through intense pressing set-ups. The result is that City are far more press resistant than they once were.
Counter attacks countered
The 2019/20 season was fairly dismal for City, with many of their problems stemming from a weakness against counter-attacks.
As was the case in defeats to Norwich and Wolves, City had no real mechanisms in place to deal with unexpected losses of possession. When they did lose the ball, new signing Rodri - who was still very much bedding in at that point - and a central defence without the departed Vincent Kompany and the injured Laporte struggled.
The following season Guardiola addressed that by having his full-backs tuck in more, to create more passing options to minimise the risk of losing the ball, and to put more bodies guarding the central area of the pitch.
City's ability to press their opponents as soon as they lose the ball has improved massively too - Phil Foden, Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Jesus and Bernardo Silva rarely allow the opposition time to launch counters. Leroy Sane was not as adept in this regard, while time caught up with club greats Sergio Aguero and David Silva.
3-4-3 headaches
Chelsea were the team that made City come unstuck last season, with three consecutive defeats to Thomas Tuchel's side at the end of the campaign costing the Premier League winners success in the FA Cup and Champions League.
Tuchel got the better of Guardiola tactically in those games as City struggled to live with the 2 vs 2 situations Chelsea's 3-4-3 set-up created.
However, on Saturday and in the win at Stamford Bridge earlier this season, Guardiola combatted it perfectly.
In the Champions League final City's full-backs pressed aggressively high, meaning that when they were bypassed centre-backs Stones and Dias had to cope with Mason Mount, Timo Werner and Kai Havertz.
On Saturday (as explained in more detail by the excellent @city_tactics) City funnelled the ball to Marcos Alonso on Chelsea's left flank, a relative weak point. Walker sat off and allowed Bernardo to press instead, meaning that City had the numbers necessary to deal with any attacks.
No church for Pep
In the aftermath of City's title-winning 4-1 win at Brighton in May 2019, Guardiola was keen to stress that his team - despite winning the league with 98 points - still had areas that needed improvement.
"I am the tallest guy. In the set pieces it is go to the church to pray. It is a drama."
Brighton's Glenn Murray opened the scoring that day with a near-post header from a corner, and Pep was right; City were generally poor in the air.
The same issue was present in 2016/17, when opponents used to target the aerial shortcomings of Nicolas Otamendi and Aleksandr Kolarov with long balls.
Nowadays all four of City's centre-backs are masters in the air - on Saturday, Laporte and Stones won all nine of the aerial duels they contested.
