What's his role in this current midfield 3 setup? Genuine question.

 

He's getting pelters for Brazil as well, so not sure it's just about what role he's playing.

Captain or not, we just need to play him in a proper position and not this bit of everything CM role we want all our CMs to be.

 

Either have him as the CDM, taking ball of CBs and recycling play. Play him alongside a CDM, where he’s the progrsssive ball carrier between the CDM and attackers, or play him ahead of CDM where he’s mostly in and around opposition box and not needed to make recovery runs (which he doesn’t have the pace for). 
 

He’s got to take responsibility, but he’s not helped (like many others) with how we set up.

I think he's playing too deep. He's not a good 6 for the way we play. We leave BIG gaps in midfield and he hasn't the pace to get across and close down.

Our midfield plan in general looks disjointed tbh.

 

You will always get gaps in a midfield where your no 6 is noticeably slow. When he pushes up he's never going to have the pace to recover if we lose the ball. Not sure how you fix that other than just don't lose the ball as much.
