We only need two DMs because our back 4 is fragile, and if we play 2 DMs we sacrifice too
many creative options. The only answer is to improve the defence. I go back to the QPR game, where I thought the back 4 played very well, so I don't think that's impossible with the current squad if the coaches do a good job. However, the real answer is to buy one or two better defenders (which I'm sure they're trying to do).
