Have you not seen how teams have played through the middle against us on the counter attack this season?
Your solution is to put our most creative (but slow) central midfielder protecting our, relatively slow, centre back pairing?

It might work in some situations/games - it wonÂ’t in others. I think you have quite a low opinion of our playersÂ’ quality if you feel they canÂ’t adapt to play different midfield roles and, if so, they have no place playing in the PL.
