The Defensive midfielder
Kouyate is the most versatile man for this position and will guard the three centre-backs behind him.
He has strength, pace and fantastic distribution, which will ensure we maintain possession in our own half.
But Kouyate has a fantastic drive on him from a deep position. If he does this then one of the wing-backs need to drop and Oxford should slightly push forward to cover Kouyate’s position when needed. Oxford covering Reid and Ogbonna when we are attacking is the perfect role for him.
