Gary Neville recently addressed a comment from a Liverpool fan claiming that Manchester City’s style of play is boring, despite the team’s recent success.

After Manchester City’s victory against Copenhagen in the first leg of the round of 16 matches in the Champions League, Neville expressed his disagreement with the Liverpool fan’s statement.

He shared his opinion during an episode of Stick To Football and defended Manchester City’s style of play.

Neville admitted that he found Manchester City’s game against Copenhagen boring, but he disputed the idea that City’s football is boring in general.

He said: “I didn’t switch City on on Tuesday night. I just felt a bit bored.

“I saw a post from a Liverpool fan who said he watched every one of Sir Alex Ferguson’s Man United games in the Champions League because there was that feeling there was going to be excitement one way or the other, they were either going to lose or they would win and the game would be exciting.

“He just can’t watch City and it felt like they had ruined it a bit and it’s a bit boring.

“I think to call City boring would be wrong, the football they play is outstanding, and I actually thought they were boring but since [Erling] Haaland has gone I think they are a little bit more imperfect and I like them a lot more with the four big defenders and Haaland up-front.”

The statistics from Manchester City’s Champions League campaign also support Neville’s defense of City’s style of play. Manchester City has scored three goals in each of their seven Champions League games this season, totaling 21 goals.

They have also taken more shots and shots on target than any other club in the competition. These accomplishments are clear indicators of an exciting playing style.

In conclusion, Gary Neville passionately defended Manchester City’s style of play and refuted the claim that they play boring football. Despite a different opinion from a Liverpool fan, Neville highlighted Manchester City’s entertaining and outstanding football.

He also praised Manchester City’s recent performances in the Champions League, supporting his viewpoint with statistical evidence.
