Gus doesn't play with two defensive midfielders , some of uswere hoping he would and that would allow for the likes of giach or ricky to start but he has never hinted that he would start catts and brid in the same team.I agree. Giacc or Alvarez might fulfill this role, but Gonadz just isn't at the moment.
For me Poyets system is dependent upon 7 key positions; interchangeable and hard working fullbacks and wingers. 2 defensive midfielders, a false 10. We've got the midfielders and possibly the fullbacks if fit and one of the wingers. It's the other 2 attacking players that we are still short of.
