Kevin De Bruyne believes that there is no issue with Manchester City playing in a "boring" way, if it means they win more competitions.
City were easy winners against Cardiff City in the FA Cup 4th round, completing a 2-0 success on Sunday.
De Bruyne believes there will be games where City take their foot off the pedal when the win is assured, so players are not too tired for future games.
"They've a different playing style to everyone else. They almost play man against man across the whole pitch. It's a little bit weird," he told BBC Sport.
"The tactics we used were class because Vinny [Kompany] was always free and we opened up the midfield.
"We had a lot of space. The second half was strange because they didn't want to attack us.
"I think it was a little bit boring for half an hour but we could save energy for the next games."
