Well, I agree that hte plan for MG was highly or overambitious. Re the lack of offensive spirit, how about the RAF? Had they allowed two drops on the first day, and/or dropzones closer to the objectives, a lot of lives might have been spared trying to get there. Question is whether the added danger would've been outweighed by less casualties later on.
And then there are of course XXX, XII and VIII Corps, often picked on for lack of sense of urgency. There are certainly explanations for this, but they could (should?) have pushed harder especially on the Sunday and Monday.
