Did he? How many games has he started for Argentina in the 10 role? And were they full strength teams or young teams when the senior players were not picked?
I like Man Allister a lot but if the coaching team think they can get more out of him in a different position then that is their choice
I have a feeling that there is a lot of work going on behind the scenes to make him a box to box midfielder rather than a 10. It is just a case of being patient
