At what point does a so called "Top Six" team lose that status?

I'm watching a drab mid-table battle between two teams who more than likely will end up mid-table at the end of the season.

And yet one of them is classed as a top six side.

Incredible how one of the greatest centre backs in the world can be such a ***** coach. We have absolutely nothing going for us defensively.

Its really not that surprising. By your logic, making the top astrophysicists teach maths should result in the best mathematicians. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you can teach it. The truth is that most of the top people in any field are **** at teaching the subject matter. Maybe they can organise a defence when they are at the centre of it but you can only do so much from the sidelines. I can't think of any great defender that wasn't part of a fantastic team or unit either. Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra and Neville were a unit, not a single brilliant defender.
