Its not that one is the weaker link, its that neither are the defensive midfielder that is needed. Both are young and like to get forward
Sorry, but Gardner is a shocking player, and is apparently given more license to get forward, as a consequence this has restricted JFC. JFC cannot tackle, but as has been proven both under Poyet and for England U21s he can pick a pass, and is better further forward.
Tex giving the ball away constantly... Colunga or McCourt at half time please
I agree that JFC has been restricted and is far better further forward, but I would say that is more through the failure of Hyypia to play a holding or defensive midfielder.

Colunga for me. Tex has loads of ability but no brain it would seem - he needs to know when to try the clever move and when to do the simple pass.
0-3

Colunga is an acceptable alternative McCourt shouldnt even be there.
