His best season came when he was playing in front of both Lucas and Allen, and had one Suarez banging them in.
Ever since hes been pulled back to play deeper which highlights how average he is. Unless he has a free role he looks bad, hell even in a "free role" hes still bad. In short, playing him behind a striker is his preferred position but England have better players there. Playing him deeper doesnt give England any control in the middle of the park but Southgate thinks hes better than anyone else. Personally i would like to see Drinkwater (when fit) start more with Dier or even give Wilshere a go.
He really is Gerrard mk2 then.
