The problem with a creative midfielder is that most of them are, in comparison to your Arfield types, lazy bastards. We might add a few more goals but we will ship a few more as well. I think Gerrard recognises that and is happy to go with 3 hard workers in the middle. We scored loads last season with a shit midfield, now that we have a good/average midfield for Scotland/Europe we should be just fine. Middleton must play instead of Candeais or Murphy in home games though, he creates much more.
