Midfield
I’m genuinely shocked by the replies to this. I think he’s been excellent. The ball now sticks, largely because of his close control and his movement provides opportunities for forward passes that we didn’t have before.
I'm not surprised that the majority aren't effusive in their praise of him. He's not exactly high quality and he's not particularly exciting. However, I tend to agree that he holds the ball up/shields it from defenders better than anyone else in the side. He also runs the channels well. That's occupying defenders even when the ball goes nowhere near him. Neither aspect is half as interesting as a player that dribbles or one that scores. He's no world beater, but that's not to say he isn't doing a decent job.
