No, it's not that bad. There have always been ugly games. Always.
Either you have selective memories or you are just spoilt by being able to watch every single game on the telly every week now.
Don't get swayed by the pseudo analysis of so-called-expert commentators, just because you here more of them and more from them these days. Chripes, Micky Malthouse bangs on about how Fyfe is no good because he doesn't defend much. When you have someone who can do the things he does on a footy field, why would you want him to be defending? It's ludicrous.
I don't really care that super aerobic units can run all day, just stop them being drilled constantly during matches by observers from above through messengers down below. Let them run their running by themselves and they'll play the play for the reasons they were, and will be in the future, recruited. They're good and skilled footballers.
That's not to say I disagree that fewer interchanges would be a good thing, because I think it would be.
