Both managers have tried on a pretty consistent basis to shoehorn both into the side and it hasn't worked. It worked in the Brighton, Southampton and Leeds games. And they played well enough and created enough chances against Tottenham to have won the game. I'd liked to see it given between now and the end of the season.

It was a fairly basic statistical analysis but in short it seems he does the basic defensive stuff very well, but sounds very limited in terms of progressive play. Maybe what we need, but I do prefer the idea of someone with a better all round game.

Thing is, we already play Ramsey on the left and McGinn should really be playing on the left to stop him turning inside. Really could do with someone who can play on the right.
Gerrard, Purslow and Lange are at Marseille v Nantes tonight.
