And I disagree with your disagreeing of my disagreement. Benny does play through balls as does Parker. We will see what happens when they return but I am sure we will find new ways to disagree and agree.
Its not their job throughout the game Spurf, a random throughball is not what I'm talking about...but I think you know that!
All the players have both defensive and attacking responsibilities. It stands to reason that when the better defenders are playing that the more skilful attackers will get more opportunities to show their prowess. Parker and Sandro would give Dembele, Bale and Lennon the freedom to do their stuff further forward where it can really do damage.
Being able to start Assou-Ekotto, Vertonghen, Kaboul and Walker would give us a very attacking base to start from, for me. They're all capable footballers with more than an eye on getting forward and they all contribute the odd goal, too. Moving Dembele into a more advanced position might free him from his defensive duties a bit. He doesn't seem to spend enough time in advanced positions at the moment, which is making us solid in the middle, but taking away a lot of potency up top.
