He definitely didn't look right at the beginning in the 6 role, he's not suited to being the first man in that midfield to do the cover work defensively like an Endo is. Much better since he's been back, frees up Mac to push further forward, get more touches on the ball and dictate play.
This midfield trio we're seeing has a bit of everything to their game. You got the grit and hustle like work of Endo who snaps into everything, you have the coolness, forward thinking and vision of Mac to elegantly spray the ball about, then you have the engine and raw pace of Szobo and his shooting from range ability (which for me he could do more of at times). Then you have the things they all share in common due to the style and instructions from the manager, such as collective pressing and keeping possession.
