Bayern scores an average of almost 3 goals per game and had scored 63 times in a row until last weekend when they lost 1-0.
This year, in the Bundesliga, the first 0-0 occurred on match day 11. I don't think there's another league with as many goals. While I think the Premier League is still a much stronger league overall, that whole point about passing the ball around with no purpose is just bollocks. It's just that, these guys are not machines either, and sometimes, a team like ManU comes along that just does an incredible job at parking the bus in front of the goal and going all in for good, old school kick and rush. Barcelona, at its peak, was beaten twice by this tactic - with a Lionel Messi in their ranks. Don't see why this can't happen to Bayern. The only plus point is that we still have a proper striker - Mandzukic - and guys who can cross. But dismissing Guardiola's football style is a bit silly especially since he seems to have taken it a notch further with Bayern.
