Sorry, but Pep does NOT play "total" football.
In fact, has anyone outside of the great Dutch sides of the 1970s really ever played it ??
Maybe not entirely RDBD but the tactical side is similar even if players have more defined positions. For me it's defined these days by having a defender come playmaker that pulls the strings and recycles possession. He's used Busquets and Lahm to this effect, and Mourinho is trying it with Luiz. The attacking midfield players are free to attack.
Regardless, it's going to look more like avb's Spurs with the focus on possession.. people are gonna moan
The recent talk has been of the Barca-fication of Munich by Pep, rather than the Barca possession/possession game simply augmenting their already good play of last season.
He has made them a lot tighter and more patient in possession. Most of the hard work was done for him though

Barca 2010/2011 produced the best football I've ever seen.
"Barca 2010/2011 produced the best football I've ever seen"
Doesn't make it "total" .
And complaints about the Pep Barca-fication of Munich abound.
Even the Kaiser has commented on it.
Watching the game this week, he and others may have a point.
