Can't remember him ever being dropped below CM. He has to be CM or behind the strikers or it's a giant waste. He's the go to guy for the killer ball or a shot from the outside. We always had tiote in DM with Ben Arfa out right and Gouffran or Jonas on the left. Pretty much a 4-4-2 diamond wherever possible.
