In an ideal world, I would agree with that.
Unfortunately, the reality is a little different. To me, football is fast becoming, a "must not lose" mentality. I agree with you about Chelsea, but last weekend, even Benitez said he dislikes "open" games, and was annoyed with his teams performance. While we have coaches and managers, like Benitez and Mourinho (good coaches that they are) football will be more inclined to be result first - performance second. Sadly I see conbining the two, a declining art.
