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.
He's not very good at that though, he's too rash and gets beat much too easily. That's one of the reasons he picks up so many stupid bookings.
I don't agree. IMO, that's only when he has to run the whole show on his own, something he cannot do, and tries too hard. with better ball players around to give him an option, Jake does just fine as the defensive midfielder. I wouldn't rule out playing him as a third CB on occasion either, just not one of two.
