Maybe similar formation but completely different tactics, intensity, instructions… although i agree it’s also a physical and mental issue.
I don’t see him doing his best neither as part of the trident upfront nor as part of the two CM/CDM’s pair we will use, maybe can do ok there but will only continue to regress and surely won’t secure himself a starting spot.
Think he might get close to his best as being the third CM of a 3 man midfield, either as b2b or maybe playing in a slightly more advanced role than the other two midfielders, but even then i doubt it, because i don’t see who he will bench, which was my main point.

Having that in mind, one thing has to change, no matter where he is playing. He has to stay focused, has to move and think faster and he has to stop making silly mistakes. If he wont do that he shouldnt be playing at all.
