Re losing Darren Fletcher, who has played consistently well (bar the last month or so - probably his age caught up with him).
Apart from acquiring a new one-for-one replacement, maybe Livermore can show us why he got an England cap. I think he's been disappointing from roughly the time he was capped. My mate's a Hull fan, and was saying yesterday that losing him was a major blow for Tigers, and he couldn't believe that my assessment of him was relatively low.

The M/F collectively let us down in the last couple of months. But if we can get a fully fit Phiilips, and get Yacob back regular we can use Chadli in a more creative no.10 role. Morrison and Brunt's performances got us upto 8th place early in the year, and apart from needing an extra number, it's not a BAD midfield, just a formation problem that we've got, caused by over-cautious management. We actually looked like a half-decent Premier side until we lost Phillips, and reverted to 4-3-2-1. A lot believe Sam Field is good enough, but I'm not sure that he is yet - maybe next year
