I find watching Leicester anything but boring. It's often nail biting, edge of the seat stuff... but then I'm a fan. Their defending a 1-0 lead is not good for the blood pressure! But they know what they're doing, it's the way they play.
And on that note, Leicester have challenged the accepted wisdom of what constitutes good football. You hear fans and pundits alike say other teams play better football, or more attractive football - and I know what they mean. It's about possession and territory, and the much loved stats seem to suggest that they higher percentage of both means a 'better' team.
Yet Leicester often win with sold all possession nor territorial advantage. They sit back, defend, disrupt, and attack on the break. It works. As opposition managers have said, they know what Leicester do but defending against is another matter.
So either we accept that 'better' does not necessarily equal 'winning' or we start having judges to award points for style.
Btw, Leicester can, and do, play the more accepted version of attractive football sometimes. I've seen them knock the ball around very quickly, one touch stuff, tiki taka style....
