The beauty of having 2 box to box machines who are solid all round players and love a tackle is that it:
A: Frees up alot of space for our other players
B: Gets us up/down the pitch
C: Keeps us always in a game
The key for me then would be to have attacking RB + RM players to add creativity.
If Gabriel comes off then we also have him pinging long passes to the forwards and wide players.
Also the best Everton teams always have 2 players in the middle who have a high work ethic and can tackle.
Its more our identity than the slow scared workshy players weve been signing there.
