Not sure I agree, we need to wait till Friday's match to know exactly what effect Neymar being out will have. Switzerland had the best defense of all european countries going into the WC, so they were playing for a 0-0 (they had 0 shots at the goal). With 8 players completely dedicated to prevent balls from coming in, the game itself becomes boring and its an attrition activity until you're able to score. Every time Brazil faces an offensive strategy it plays much better because it's just a different dynamics to the game. But I agree, some flair is missing at the moment.
