It's all nonsense, I am not against stylish football, I'm not against any style, you gotta use your resources in the best way you feel able, if you have Messi, Xavi, Iniesta etc you play tippy tappy, if you have Drogba you play more direct, and also, as mentioned, you take into account the opposition, if they have Drogba you surely send the defence out differently than if they have Messi.
Football isn't judged on artistic merit, you score more goals than they do, you win, it's fairly simple.
