What's your thoughts on his best position? He Saturday he was a box-to-box player, like an old school 4-4-2 midfielder. Not a holder or attacking midfield which tends to suit our formation.

Not only has he got a clear eye for goal, but also a killer pass; but then he also mops up and get's a well timed tackle or interception.

He's our best performer and my first name on the teamsheet at the moment.

I see him as an eight.

Having someone like Siopis alongside him is ideal really, but we need a better player than Siopis to play that role.

Like you say, it enables Robertson to play a bit closer to the front four.

He can do the defensive part well but he's not a defensive midfielder. He's also not a number ten.

His ideal position is between the defensive midfielder and the number ten.

I honestly think he's the best all round midfielder we've had for a long time - can shoot, pass and tackle.
