Hull City: Next Season Part 2

This article is going to continue looking at what Hull City needs to do to establish themselves in the Premier League next season. As this is only my second article here please leave comments on how i could improve my writing.

Midfield

Midfield where the problems really started for Hull in my opinion.

Geovanni really has looked like the only bright spark, and even he disappeared over the course of the season. But bringing in experienced Premier League midfielders would free up Geovanni from always playing defensively to taking on the creative playmaker role that he excelled in earlier in the season.

This is of course assuming Geovanni stays with us.

Really somebody who could do this for us is Jimmy Bullard, who is set to come back for next season. With his undoubted talent he can run and organise the midfield and direct the ball to create chances and take the pressure off the defense.

Next the left and right midfielders definitely need looking at.

Too many times this season a weak left or right side would cost us vital points. Craig Fagan can do a decent job at left mid and some of his crosses this season have been great. Kevin Kilbane can also put in a decent ball but he has been a bit hit and miss in terms of performance. In all Fagan is very good at running defenses down and harassing opponents; he can become a decent left mid.

Right midfield is a little trickier to sort out. Mendy can put on a great performance, but also often looks like he doesn't care. You only have to look at his short display against Liverpool at Anfield in right mid before he was moved to see his potential.

Mendy however, is best at coming off the bench as an impact player and so another right mid should be signed with a bit of pace and a decent cross. The crossing ability is particularly important because we seem to do better when we try to get the ball into the box.

The next article will be about the forwards which need a complete overhaul as their complete lack of goalscoring during the last half of the season has been a real problem.
