Although it wasn't his best game he was still directly involved in both of our best chances and has to play as one of the midfield three to get the best out of him.
Playing as a wide forward, or a wing-back, is a waste of his talents - he needs to play in a position where he can run through midfield and into the box, as well as playing people in (like he did with Sporar, he quite frankly should score those every time).
