But I'm not saying they are not deserving of grwat praise

Thye deserve all the praise - I am just saying the praise should be (and a lot of it is to be fair) for being technically excellent (and gutsy to take that approach given that they are newly promoted), not for being thrilling to watch.
That;s not denigrating them quality-wise. Being exciting to watch often involves tactical dodginess (like our sometimes rather kamikaze openness and slapdash approach to ball possession!).
