Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Leander Dendoncker says that his versatility does not benefit him when it comes to producing consistent performances.
Dendoncker has largely been used as a central midfielder this season, the Belgium international getting on the scoresheet as Wolves beat Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon.
However, the 26-year-old, who is regarded as an alternative to Ruben Neves and Joao Moutinho, has come in for criticism at times this season.
Dendoncker feels that a regular run of appearances in the middle of the pitch would help his case, whether that be as part of a two or three-man partnership.
Speaking to PlaySports, Dendoncker said: "A new manager means a new philosophy. When Nuno Espirito Santo arrived, I also sat the first few games on the bench before scrounging game time bit by bit.
"My versatility doesn't help me, I don't think. I'm somehow put in midfield, sometimes in defence, which makes it difficult to continuously produce good performances. My favourite role is in midfield."
Dendoncker has made a total of 11 starts in the Premier League this season, with a further eight outings coming from the substitutes' bench.
