Square pegs in round holes, I'm not suggesting Moses' is top shelf but we're certainly not using him in a role that best suits his ability and therefore we're not getting the best out of him.
The point is though Woof when you're playing that role its effectively free.
You're supposed to drift, find out where you can use your abilities and how to create chances and hurt your opponents. If that means going and standing on the left wing, skinning the full back and smashing the ball across the six yard box every time you get it then do it. If the games going through you and you're creating problems the manager isn't going to take you off simply because you're playing to wide. A good winger should be able to perform that role to a decent standard. Moses is an average winger, hence the average performances. To be quite honest, if you're any good as an attacking player its the easiest role to perform in as you can pretty much pick where you want to play.
When I mention Wright-Phillips I didn't mean he was played centrally though, what I meant was same level of player. Overly hyped so much he got the big transfer to Chelsea, they realised he wasn't that good and shipped him out.
