Roy Hodgson destroyed me. He made me play in the centre of midfield.
I'm a centre forward, and that is my preferred position. But I'll play on the wing or in midfield, wherever the manager wants me to play.
When I was switching around in my early stages, people underestimated how difficult it was just to go from playing centre midfield to right-back to centre-back to right-back to centre midfield.
For managers like me what is our dream? Is it what I did with Newcastle when we finished fifth? Or what Roy Hodgson did in taking Fulham to the Europa League final?
My favourite position is in the midfield. I think I can play to my strengths there. I can communicate with every player. I'm more in the game, because as a right-back you have to stay on one side and you're not always in the game for 90 minutes. So I prefer the centre midfield position.
I've played all over, to be honest. Centre-half, defensive midfield, attacking midfield.
I'm a very versatile player, I have covered many midfield roles but my favourite one is the centre-midfield.
When I was at MK Dons, I played all the games in centre midfield, so it's not like it's new to me.
Roy Hodgson is a very good manager with a clear plan.
I know Roy Hodgson very well; he rarely changes tactically.
I have a lot of time and respect for Roy Hodgson; he's a very good manager.
I think that by playing centre midfield in the middle of the park, I'm doing something which comes naturally to me.
I prefer to play in midfield, whether that is attacking midfield or defensive midfield.
As for Roy, I love playing Roy. I'm working at it, but I wish I had less of a care of what people thought of me, so that I could be more like Roy.
It was a disaster. I need to play with freedom, and Hodgson didn't let me cross the halfway line.
It's hard to compare the faith of Gareth Southgate and Roy Hodgson and my lack of chances at Chelsea because it's such a big club.
The truth is that Roy Hodgson and I never clicked because I was far too outgoing for his liking and I had to rein that in when I was in front of him.
