I'm not convinced that they can't both be used, especially at home against a side that's not going to dominate the midfield.
I'd have preferred to see Sandro and van der Vaart start in the middle, with Sigurdsson playing up behind the striker.
Two holding midfielders simply doesn't work for us and I'm struggling to remember us getting a positive result with that system, though I could well be wrong.
