Tottenham also seem to lack in key players, whereas as at Southampton they had those to certain degree, in Rickie Lambert and Adam Lallana. And after last season spending spree, I doubt hell have much of a transfer budget at his disposal.
I disagree, we have the quality and the quantity. We just haven't had a coach bring out their qualities through man management or effective tactics.

I don't think it's merely the fault of the coach though, I think it's been down to:

- Not enough time given for players to acclimatise to the league
- bad / ineffectual man management (E.g. AVB with big egos, Chelsea players & Adebayor for instance)
- Poor tactics with given personel. Tim Sherwood played Siggy in a midfield 2 against Manchester City ... AVB playing Dawson in a high line!
- Bad player recruitment policy, too many in one window. Showing no solid ethos or real cohesion from the top. A scattergun approach to good deals is chaos for management, it brings about ineffectual results.

Effective coaching and a good manager will influence the latter 3, the first will be somewhat remedied by a years experience in the league.
