I don't think that's fair at all, he's simply not playing the ones who are good on the ball. No Herrera, no Mata, no Januzaj. Instead he plays extra, inexperienced CBs, a horribly out-of-form RVP and Fellaini. Obviously he chose that team for a reason, and at the end of the day it worked, but you can hardly expect that line-up to play attractive football.
Get even a team as good as Chelsea to play three at the back, Mikel in midfield instead of Fabregas and recall Torres to play up front, and see how good their football looks! (Harsh on RVP that, obviously, but you see my point.) And obviously the injuries contribute massively to that problem.
I'm pretty sure a side like this would look great on the ball:
DDG
Rafa Smalling Evans Shaw
Blind
Herrera Di Maria
Mata
Rooney Falcao
