They are defensively minded but on evidence (whether it's because of them or Gary's tactics, as I suspect) they are the furthest thing in the world from #6s. I don't think we can anticipate that they'll offer significant shielding for the backline at this stage as that's not what Gary has asked them to do, really ever.There are plenty of other teams that are around where we are that play a back 4. Plus with having Lemina and Gomes that are defensively minded midfield players, you really shouldn't be relying exclusively on a back 5.
