Im not writing you off, and 4-0? LOLBollocks they do... have we got a chav invasion on here recently? Chelsea stumbled upon something that works there's no long term plan and it can easily come unstuck IMO(I agree you're favourites but you don't have the CL... we are not going to stop the Leicester comparison because it holds a lot of weight). You may prefer that style of play but the rest of the world doesn't, there isn't a team in the Prem that could have beat Barca the way we beat them, we try and play the same way no matter who the opposition that's what the best teams have... a football identity. As for goals, that's just the thing, if we were half as clinical as Chelsea have been we'd have smashed them 4-0 that day, our chances to goals ratio is much worse we are creating a lot more great chances than people are giving credit for(quickly forgotten when a people look back on a scoreline).
We have a long term plan, we are in a period of transition and may need to replace a few players before you see Pep's style implemented fully but we'll get there and I think we're set for a much stronger second half of the season because they are all slowly getting more used to it so don't write us off either.
We had PLENTY of chances to score aswell, we could have scored 4 or five past you aswell, although i must admit, that you guys were indeed the better team on the day and had the best chances, but the difference was not as big as you say.
And you guys are boring as hell to watch sometimes, zero penetration and directness. One game doesnt change that. And you can search or ask any neutral who actually follows football, who they prefer to watch right now, and the majority will say Chelsea.
Again, thats just my opinion and i hope you dont take that as an offense
