Maybe playing in that deeper role has been the catalyst for his improvementHe is our best passing midfielder.
Very very underrated by some posters on this site. he always looks forward, starts the play, and looks for the killer pass, sometimes risky but every team needs a forward thinking midfielder.
Has been asked to play deeper role of late, just in front on the back four, which I think is not his best position, but his passing skills shone today, and his linking up with the forward line was 1st class.
Swapping his and Howson's roles has certainly made a difference to both of them.
He has looked a bit more progressive than Howson, seeing the whole picture, starting things from between the centre halves against Port Vale and WBA and Howson has looked more comfortable than Barlaser playing on the half turn further up the pitch.
