West Ham United midfielder Stewart Downing is enjoying his central role this season.
Downing was again superb for the draw with Stoke City on Saturday.
"Yes, it's brilliant," he enthused to whufc.com. "To be fair to the manager in the second half, he called me over and made the change and said he was just going to go for it.
"Credit to him because he made the change. I was quite happy out wide, but it was difficult to get involved at times, so credit to him for putting me in the middle and going for it, because it's paid off for us and we've got a point out of the game."
