The notion that this is just the level of this squad is ridiculous. However haphazard recruitment may have been over the past few years, this is a side with some talented players that's more than good enough to have a mid-table finish be the default. Benitez has set us up to have 20% possession in every game, even against newly-promoted opposition, without any defensive cohesion, any pressing, incoherent passing plays. This side is being poorly coached. The problems do not begin or end there, but it's willful blindness to pretend otherwise.
 
The problem is we have too many dead ducks in the squad regardless of your feelings towards the manager.

Look at that starting 11 tonight:

Coleman
Delph
Gomes
Holgate
Townsend
Godfrey

These aint top 7-10 quality players.

The reality is we're a mid table outfit with a handful of good yet at times anonymous players.

No quick fix regardless of what happens with Benitez imo. Finishing 10th + 12th with Ancelotti should have been a wake up call to how bad our recruitment has been over the years.
