Well done.

I don't like or trust him as one of two deep midfielders against decent teams though. He suddenly goes missing defensively or loses concentration & that sometimes results in goals. I think he should be one of 3 not one of two when played deeper against a proper team & he should never be given a set defensive duty or a marking job, as he won't do it.
Let him just play a free role deep & then a free role further forward.

Like that time he won the Champions league as a CB against the rags? Such as.

What does he actually do though?
Always find myself asking myself this.

Tbf I'd trust him more as a defender than as a defensive midfielder as he wouldn't have to do any running back.
I was meaning more like v Napoli when both goals were down to him not covering & against Bayern when he kept letting Ribery run off into the box without trying to stop him. If we did by some miracle sign DeRossi, you would notice the difference.
