One or the other is fine. The mid-field position isn't only about scoring and creativity. You need in the trenches types like Austin and to a lesser extent Morrison.
Are you hearing what SAM seh RIC? Austin should always be on the pitch in some form of defensive capacity, but not in the attack.
My personal preference right now because of the in-coming BRITS is having AUSTIN right back; MORRISON & TAYLOR central; PHILLIPS left back.
I'm praying TAPPA be courageous enough to give MORRISON another look in centraln defence.
With a defence as this there's great experience, ball handling ability, players who understands attacking players. It would be a win win situation for us with this defensive set.
