I think you lot havent understood me. I feel the Premiership IS boring but not because of Chelsea. And here's why.
In the last few years, the Premiership had a huge influx of flamboyant and skillful players. Attacking and stylish football was a common trend and this is partly because of Arsenal and Wenger's style of play. It worked for them so people started to copy. Which is why players like the Okochas and the Zolas were the way to play. Almost every team had their own foreign hero who would normally be a skillful player with a bag of tricks.
Now fast forwarding to the present, Mourinho and Portugal introduce this 4-3-3 which heavily relied on the counter attack and proved to be good for attack as well as having a solid defence (the 4 defenders plus 3 central midfielders) making it very hard to break down. Now that its being used so effectively, everyone is thinking "Hey, all we have to do is pack the middle of the park, and then hit teams on the counter" cuz this strategy doesnt really require the best of players meaning you dont have to spend much money. Whereas if you tried a more attacking formation, you'd need some good attacking players. All you need for 4-3-3 is bodies getting in the way of the opposition and it works. This style also lets you scrape results against the big teams which you cant normally do if the game was open. Also, 4-3-3 only requires a half decent forward and you can expect goals. Everton with Darren Bent were the best example of this and look now far they got. Which also explains why they're so bad this season cuz now everyone is using their style. This formation is perfect for teams who normally have no hope of winning and rewards them with a result.
The problem here is that Mourinho knows how to play that style and has the right players to make it work. Plus all the money he has allows him to have more or less exactly what he wants. If you take a formation that doesnt require good players to work and then actually add the right players to it, it obviously becomes unstoppable.
This IMO is what lead to the Premiership becoming boring. Its not Chelsea's fault. Its cuz everyone is being lead to believe that Chelseas way of playing is the most effective style. But they're failing to realise that its pointless if EVERY team uses it, like how Everton found out. And its also useless if you dont have good players.
The reason why Chelsea win is because they made it famous and they're using it right. They're unstoppable now and its all down to Mourinho.
Chelsea targetted a number of strikers in the transfer windows but the one they wanted the most was Adriano. Why? Because he is the one man that could fit into Chelsea like a jigsaw. He's big, strong, can out muscle defenders (which is important if you're playing up front alone), can finish, etc. Notice how Drogba and Adriano have similar characteristics but with Adriano being the better player all round. This is why Mourinho doesnt go for players like Torres or Rooney, etc.
And why was he so desperate for Essien? He has a million other players that people thought he should have fought for like the Robinhos and the Joaquins but he only wanted Essien because he fits into Chelsea. Look at Chelsea's midfield. They have an anchor man in Makalele who can also play great passes, Lampard who not only scores but also tracks back, and now Essien whose defending skills are equal to his attacking skills. Meaning Chelsea can attack and also get everyone back to defend when needed to. And in case some of you didnt know, the way 4-3-3 is supposed to work is that when one winger is on the ball, the other winger supports the striker in the box. Notice how all of Chelsea's wingers are also a kind of second striker?
Chelsea have everything worked out. Theres nothing anyone can do about it except come up with a new style of play thats even better than Chelsea's.
My advice to the Premiership is Innovate, not imitate.
