Midfield
He's had to take on Evans' role.He's starting to annoy me a touch to be honest, brilliant player in my opinion but the manner in which we play has nullified what made him special in my opinion.
Everytime he gets the ball, he looks to the wide men, thats what he does, feeds the wide lads with good sensible passing. Where as when he first broke through, it was his ability to play a through ball that set him apart, always looking to break the backline with a perfectly placed well paced pass.
I thinks for a player of his ability, his role suppresses his talent. Maybe its that we have no runners in behind, who knows?
He was exactly the player you described prior to that.
