Yes we will be more susceptible because we are more likely to get stifled and do nothing with the ball. Just like the first 45 minutes against Everton where we were exposed horribly with two defensively strong midfielders.You're blatantly wrong then, especially this part-
If you think he'd be allowed that much freedom to run in the box while playing Dembele's role, then words alone can't summarize just how wrong you are. This has always been one of the main problems associated with playing Mason there, and there's a good reason Dembele hardly ever makes those forward runs.
You're saying we're more susceptible to the counter attack with two defensively strong midfielders than we are with one defensively strong midfielder playing alongside a defensively weak and inexperienced one?
Ok.
At home against palace and the like we need Dier/Wanyama and a box to box (one with talent so not Mason). Not two defensive players who won't offer much help to the attacking 4.
Have you seen Dier or Wanyama play?
