goon Like many English players got it stuck in his head he should be playing a certain position. He thought he was a CM but his best performances for us came as playing as a wing back. Then factor in he couldn't stay fit. Remember some Liverpool fans explaining to me that Wenger couldn't get the best out of him and Klopp would elevate him. Wonder how that is working out....
Same thing happened with Theo Walcott, who was convinced he should be playing as a striker. Even Ainsley Miles seems to think he should be playing CM, it is good to have an opinion as a player but also important to see the coach usually knows your best position.
