He played further up at the beginning of the season and he isn't comfortable there. He's so much better at sitting back and spreading the ball around. That's why he's been playing so well the past few games. He's actually playing his best position. He's very underrated at his long balls but they are almost always right on the money. He's great defensively and he is great at moving the ball forward. People need to get it in their head that he won't get many assists or goals, much like Modric. That doesn't change the fact that he's great at his job. If you think he had a poor game today then you need to reevaluate everything because he was immense.
