It is, I think, quite apparent that we have lacked something in midfield, I don't know, someone like The Beast. Parker hasn't returned the player he was and is taking too long to get back to his former self. I am tempted to think the game against West Ham we should drop Parker, put Dembele in the holding role, drop Holtby deeper and put either of Dempsey or Sigurdsson behind Adebayor. I'm tempted to go with Sigurdsson as I just don't have faith in Dempsey.
Either way, we need Dembele and Holtby in the deeper roles so we an get the transition from defence to attack with precision and speed, I love Parker for what he helped us do last season but he is a hindrance currently.
