It's a great question, one I don't really have an answer to that I'm convinced by, but I edge marginally towards B.

There's perhaps an interesting flip question to this. What would you find more frustrating:-

a) players in the mould of Jason Perry, Willie Boland, Don Cowie, Super Kev, Ben Turner, Sol Bamba, Lee Peltier etc - whose limitations with the ball could undo the hard work they put into the cause.

b) players in the mould of Nathan Blake, Jason Fowler, Jason Bowen, Jay Bothroyd, Jason Koumas, Kenneth Zohore, Peter Whittingham etc - who despite their undoubted talent, often went missing for a number of games and could be a liability when they did.
