What have they ever done that hasn't been mediocre? You continue to confuse individual player ability with the effectiveness of the team. Individually this side is more talented than most in the league. Collectively though it's performing as the tenth best. Why is that? Because collectively our defence is mediocre, our fitness is poor, our keeper is terrible, and we don't score goals from a midfield who struggle to put in a 90 minute performance. So you can keep going on about how these players are the best in 30 years but currently the team performances are not reflecting that.
What I see is 4 world class players carrying a lower midtable ensemble who have no comprehension of how to defend. The team construct itself is mediocre regardless of how much personally you enjoy watching the attacking passing.
