I also find it extremely boring to have the mindset, which you have stated numerous times, that winning is always the ONLY thing that matters. I happen to like the game of football and I have a bit higher expectations from a match than that.
Well thats fair enough Rex football is different things to different people.
But you must understand that goalkeeping and defending are different you don't have to be exciting and dramatic or have moments of brilliance like midfielders and forwards, you need to have a high level of consistency that to the untrained eye might seem boring, the goalie that just collects cleanly or the CB who is always in the right place at the right time.
Well unfortunately thats the nature of professional football winning is everything and is rewarded and losing is nothing, the team that scores the most goals goes through to the next round not the team who had most possession of the ball or who had the most corners, thats the way it is Rex......
