Yep. I think we need another midfielder too. A specialist sitter (In the Yok or Yac mould)
100% agree. A proper defensive midfielder, someone with energy (Molumby, Mowatt, TGH) to carry the ball forward and Swift/Wallace would make for one of the most balanced midfields in the league and would have genuine quality.
If its only a sitter were after, just let Jake do that job. He's one of if not the best in the league when allowed to just do the simple stuff. Hes just not an 8 or a 10 like he has tried to be at times.
Has Livermore ever really played this role for us though? I don't disagree that it has to be his position if he plays but I'm not sure about him being one of the best in the league at it. He always had Yacob/Fletcher/Barry with him in the PL and hasn't played as a proper holding midfielder in the championship for us.
He used to play alongside Barry and Fletcher, and Fletcher was the one who got forward more. Also its where he always used to play for England in that season or 2 he got his caps.
