I think Brunt still has the ability to pick a pass - but needs forward
options which are drastically lacking with Irvine's old school flat 4
man midfield.
I'd much rather he played in the centre of a 4-5-1, where he could
use his range of passing. He has been rendered useless for most
of the season on the left of Irvine's flat 4.
Mozza is IMO a squad player at this level, while Dorrans isn't
anywhere near consistent enough to get in this side. He rarely looks
like creating anything these days, has lost the hunger for goals and
edge that made him so promising in the Di Matteo era.
I think you can get away with a couple if these guys, but not a whole
midfield of them. You need someone in the midfield who has the ability
to beat a man and make something happen, float into the hole
occasionally and get alongside the forwards - together these guys
don't have that ability (or it is being coached out of them).
