It's all opinions and taste..I love watching Spain 'bore' people to death with

their endless passing and would much rather watch Arsenal than say Man U, but there's not a right or wrong way. I would say that if you have the players then Barca and Spain have shown that a good passing side will normally come out on top..BUT those players cost a small fortune in comparison to workhorses. My guess is that most managers would love their team to play like Barca but cannot afford it. I also believe that PL wants to play this way.
