I disagree. I think Pep has been given his dream: a team that can play both physically and direct, as well as in possession and through pass-based creation. He is building a team that can change its style and beat any team in the world, which is the one thing lacking at Barça. And he has coached that dynamism into their approach.
It's all a matter of opinions, but Bayern's record against top sides has not been good this year. They are so good and Dortmund had so many problems they could have won the league with Ribery in goal. Pep was given the best team possibly ever and has not done much. He has fiddled with the tactics and made them weaker. Bayern were complete already.
Bayern are not Barca and not built for Tika-taka. Players like Muller, Gotze, Mandzukic, Ribery, Schweinsteiger and (RB)Lahm need to play a faster more direct game.
Müller, Götze, Javi Martinez, Alaba, Thiago, and Scweinsteiger are absolutely players that can play possession football, but can also play more directly (which I indicated in my earlier post). And despite this being a transition year they dominated their league, could very well go on to the CL Final, and will likely win the DFB-Pokal. As you said, it is a matter of opinion—I don't think we'll change each others at this rate, though.
