Almost nail on head.
I agree that our current squad does have more talent than so many others over the past 25/30 years and that is what makes this season (and the majority of last season) so damn disappointing.
Harbin or Kear would have killed to have these players at their disposal but, for whatever reason, the team is somewhat less than the (theoretical) sum of the parts.
In any half decent side, the opposite is true.
Taking account of their individual ability, how many players this season, would you say are currently hitting 7/10 or better individually, for the full 80 minutes.
When you try and go through the side and apply this measure, it's certainly less than the fingers of one hand.
We desperately need a midfield general or something close.

The last line is the point though. Harbin and Kear had a general.
