He does the dirty job we have no-one at present capable of doing but I do think he would have needed someone alongside him as we have no-one with the creative nouse either. Morrison does it in fits and starts but thats it.
Yeah, but if I had to list the problems we have with the midfield at the moment it's not the lack of an enforcer in there that's causing us issues. We have plenty of possession that we find difficult to move through midfield, Yacob wouldn't help with that at all.
When we've got the ball Yacob wouldn't help us, he's at least as slow as what we've got. His passing is even more limited. He'll still get overrun when up against an extra man and pace in the middle of the park.
While we haven't got the ball you could (just about) argue that Yacob would offer us something, but more often than not we are conceding soft goals. What we wouldn't need is someone giving away even more cheap free kicks.
I feel like wanting Yacob back is just a cheap stick to beat the club with for some people. Yeah, we could get him back but we'd have to play a completely different system to what we have now and that's not going to happen.
